							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

			 To the editor:Illinois is 
			not Connecticut.  
			2020 is not 2007.  
			Yet the Chicago based Illinois Policy Institute 
			argues in the Lincoln Daily News that passage of the Fair Tax would 
			drop the price of your house in Logan County. 
			Not likely.  
			The real estate market here is red hot, primarily 
			because of low interest rates. Federal Reserve policies are the 
			major factor in the setting of interest rates and the Fed could care 
			less about the Fair Tax.  
			The one thing that's certain is that if voters 
			approve the Fair Tax then 97 percent of us will get a break in our 
			state income taxes. The only people who will pay more are those with 
			annual incomes above $250,000.

            That sounds pretty good to me. 
			 
			It's time that the LDN should share this news with its readers.
