They should be paying taxes, actual taxes, the kind where you get an actual bill and then you pay the bill. That money could pay for services across the board--services the non profits they themselves use and for teachers, you know, the ones that teach in the public sector? i think the next time i get a tax on anything i am going to say "this is rather sensitive for me, i am not going to pay this and i am going to make a donation based on what i feel is politically in everyone's best inerest" and then wink. where exactly is the information, or rather the answers to the questions?Yes, we all know that educating the displaced children while they live at the Red Roof Inn costs the town thousands of dollars, what are you doing about it to get the monies back, what is the actual process you are in the midst of?
