[Vision2020] Churches and Taxes

[heirdoug at netscape.net]

keely, 
 
I'm glad to see that your response time has gotten shorter. It must be the winter olympics.
 
I suppose that would depend upon how you define 'benefits' and 'educated'. The last I heard only 50 % of those who graduate from High School actually go on to Higher education and of those 30 % have to take remedial math and remedial language classes over in order to enter into college. I used to teach the high school graduates that couldn't add, subtract, multiply and divide properly. If I had given them the above data in the form of a word problem, many of them would have added the 50 to the 30 and come up with - 80% can pass the basic math problems with ease.....
 
Oh, by the way, I'm not smug I just have a head cold.... Thanks for your concern!
 
lemeno, Doug!

I suppose the argument that all of society benefits when its children are educated would be lost on the ineffably smug Mr. Farris . . .

Tom-Tom, 
 
Using your infallible logic, if parents of school aged children educate them via some 
other form than Keely's infallible school system then they should be free from paying 
52% property taxes to the school district for services they do not use! 
 
I'll Pray for fewer teachers teaching larger classes with less administrative overhead! 
 
Again keep up the good work! Doug 
 
Tom-Tom so eloquently stated: 
New Rule: If churches don't have to pay taxes, they also can't call the fire 
department when they catch fire. Sorry, Reverend, that's one of those 
services that goes along with paying in. I'll use the fire department I pay 
for; you can pray for rain.
