Sounds like they need to cut about 5 layers of adminitration in that county. Or do away with government schools.

I forgot to insert LOL on this post. But my point is no one person rich, middle, or poor thinks the amount of taxes they pay or don't pay is fair. But it seems to me I read more of the complaining from the ones that survive just fine with what they make than the ones that make diddly squat.
