Build the Idaho Economy: BUY IDAHO

 

If the 1.5 million people in Idaho, all spent just $100 more with Idaho companies this year, instead of an out of state company:That would be $150,000,000 more spent into the Idaho economy this year.

Imagine the effect of another $150,000,000 in new jobs, capitol improvement, re-investment in Idaho families and new equipment to build Idaho business, industry, education and agriculture.

Sales tax at 6% would be $9,000,000 increased funding for education, health & welfare, parks, transportation, law enforcement, and the many services that make Idaho a better place to live and raise families.

Plus, the taxes Idaho companies pay on the $150,000,000 in additional sales; the wages they pay people, the workers compensation, health care, added jobs and the individual taxes the employees will pay into the Idaho economy. With additional income, families will enjoy a higher standard of living.

Every dollar spent in Idaho, may be spent over again and again in the Idaho economy. Yes, it does matter! Buy Idaho Products and Services from Idaho companies when you can.Join Buy Idaho; find a listing of Buy Idaho members, and learn more at www.buyidaho.org.
