I FIXED IT  

  Ok here is what cha do.
Open up  simple-tags/2.5/simple-tags.client.php
Go to approx line 185.  There will be:
	Code:
	// Remove embedded tags in posts display
		if ( $this->options['use_embed_tags'] == 1 ) {
			add_filter('the_content', array(&$this, 'filterEmbedTags'), 0);
		}
 I commented out the lines like this:
	Code:
	// Remove embedded tags in posts display
		//if ( $this->options['use_embed_tags'] == 1 ) {
		//	add_filter('the_content', array(&$this, 'filterEmbedTags'), 0);
	//	}
 And now my tags show up. 

  The only down side is, they are not coded with the SEO links  domain.com/tag/ but are coded domain.com/index.php?tag=keyword.  But at least they are there. 
Thanks Walrus for pointing out he said they wouldn't show up..I knew he had to have in his code somewhere a don't show these tags, lol.
Oh, this has a 2.5 version of the that file, and a 2.3 version, so I'm guessing if you have 2.3 wp, edit that file instead.
