>1.  Does this "figure" include the cost of attending this very expensive

>as a result of them attending?  Does this figure include the cost of paying 
>for the privilege of living in the homes of the Ccer's such as Atwood, 
>Wilson, Courtney, Amos, etc.?  Are taxes paid on THAT income and if so, 
>what proof is there of that?

>2.  What is the salary of the "instructors" of NSA?  Does this figure 
>include that in the $2mil. spent by the students?

>3.  How is possible that anyone is keeping an accounting of EACH and EVERY 
>penny spent by the students?  Do they have expense accountings that is kept 
>on EACH and EVERY student?  If so, just when do they turn in their receipts 
>and to whom?  And why would NSA require that of their students?  Is this a 
>way to keep track of what businesses, non-CCer businesses, the students are 
>spending their money at?
>
>4.  The 17 "jobs created" by NSA - are those the Admin/"instructor" jobs 
>and just who, outside of CCer's, is employed by NSA?
>
>5.  Was this same/like amount spent by the students when they were 
>illegally in other non-zoned areas in previous years?  If not, how is it 
>different and to what do they attribute the difference?
>
>6.  How many of these students have jobs outside of CC owned businesses?  
>Besides WalMart, I mean.
>
>7.  Are the students required to "tithe" their hard-earned salaries to the 
>CC and if so, what does that amount look like?  As I remember, the money 
>that is tithed or offered to CC is KEPT by CC/Doug.  It certainly does not 
>go into any community pot to help the community.

>8.  If CC/Doug buys out Tidyman's (yes, they have been looking at that 
>building - rather convenient as it would be right beside the WalMart they 
>are pushing so hard to have built) does that mean the $14K would no longer 
>go to downtown businesses?  If not, why?

>Just a few thoughts...more later, I am sure.

>>Greetings Visionaires -
>>
>>Within the letter so generously posted by Chas, Mr. Hieronymus states that
>>the 140 full-time students contribute $2 million annually to the local
>>economy.  This equates to each and every student responsible for
>>contributing $14,285.71 annually to downtown Moscow businesses.  We must
>>assume that these expenditures are in addition to such staples as food,
>>rent, and transportation (expenses the students would normally incur even 
>>if
>>NSA were located in Helmer).  Mr. Hieronymus, could you please provide
>>evidence of such a claim (not that it has any impact on where NSA is
>>located)?
>>
>>Are we to assume that if NSA were moved outside of the central business
>>district that the students would not be able to find their way downtown?  
>>UI
>>students have no problem.
>>
>>Mr. Hieronymus goes on to state that NSA is responsible for the creation 
>>of
>>17 new full-time jobs since it moved to its current location.
>>
>>Should we further assume that these positions would cease to exist if NSA
>>were required to follow the spirit and letter of the law by relocating
>>outside of the central business district?
>>
>>Your thoughts, visionaries?

>>And why shouldn't the rich pay taxes?

>>"The people that write laws are greedy.  They need money to buy votes.  
>>What
>>better way to get it than to extract it, by force of law, from the
>>relatively few who can afford the nicer things in life.  If you can buy
>>something nice then you can pay more taxes so that politicians can give
>>something to the 'poor' and take a cut for themselves."
