DON'T TAX ME OUT

When we attended weddings in Denver in June and September, we stayed in a nice hotel. We paid a lot of tax white staying in those rooms. I did not think of that as "sinful or tyrannical," but I always object when someone is not willing to pay their way and has some sort of scheme that lets me pay for them.

You want me to pay for a new convention center for Denver just because I went to a couple of weddings. My point is that white I was in your wonderful area (my home also for 20 years), we spent a lot of money. We paid reasonable taxes on what we spent and were not reimbursed one cent. We did not even think of this until I read your article (jrundles, ColoradoBiz, October 1999).

Do I want to spend more so that you can have the things you want that will allow you to draw more people to spend more money in your booming economy? No. Will it keep me away? No. I'll be back for the fifth time this year in December.

P.S. Keep' in mind -- corporations don't pay for a thing. Their customers (you and me) do.
