Neal Boortz is the man.Has everyone read the Fair Tax book?

By all means agents need to get paid...I would pay what I have to...Thats not a problem...I am very new at this and right after the post I called the agent and worked it out so thank you so much...It was a case of bad communication on both parts...Have a wonderful day and thanks for the knowledge.vjb
