I do suppose the $5,000 liscnese is much cheaper than a 12% tax on all transactions like they were orignally aiming for...

Like SC said, one benefit of the liscensing fees will be that it will create such a substantial sum of money, that it will not be something the local authorities will want to see go away.

There is truth to all your statements. We all knew that it wasnt going to be long before someone dropped the hammer. Im always trying to find the bright spots in deals like this. At least the new rules are ones we can at least play by. I dont see any of them as total game changers..which in my books is a good thing.
