If the 1.4 million people in Idaho, all spent just $100 more with Idaho companies this year, instead of an out of state company...

• That would be $140,000,000 more spent into the Idaho economy this year.
  
• Imagine the effect another $140,000,000 would make in new jobs, the re-investment in equipment and Idaho families.
  
• The sales tax on this at 6% would be $8,400,000 for the legislature to increase funding for education, health and welfare, roads, bridges, parks and the many service to make Idaho a better place to live and raise families.
  
• Plus the taxes Idaho companies pay on the $140, 000,000 in additional sales; and the wages they pay people, the workman's compensation, health care, added jobs and the individual taxes the employees will pay into the Idaho economy.
  
• Every dollar spent in Idaho is spent over and over again in the Idaho economy; a purchase out of state and that money is gone forever.
