    Why didn't you say that in the first place? :Poke:
    Because middle is in-between, and doesn't come with predetermined volumes, that's why.:Poke::D
    Did you select a metro area or not? It impacts the income distro they use. Not sure if that tips it one way or another, but the model regionalizes income populations.

    Pretty sure me posting that I think 75 k is rich put it squarely in the position of being my opinion :D

    Kind of depends on who wants to prove what but yep.

    I live outside of the actual Metro ATL. I can't afford to live anywhere near the perimeter unless I were to sell everything I own and rent a one bedroom or the like in the hood.

    If you tax them then you can't exclude them from the government.
    No more separation of church and state.

    Without looking back I'm not sure anyone has mentioned this yet but, I saw an article a few days ago where many of the high dollar private universities are being investigated due to their having offshore accounts protecting their endowment monies from taxes. Has anyone else seen this yet?

    I think he's pointing toward having Churches start openly preaching politics if they have to start paying taxes.
    Maybe I'm misreading this.

    AFAIC, they shouldn't be prohibited. Hello, 1st Amendment.

    Are you ready for a Catholic political party?
    If you tax them, they get an equal seat at the table.
    And you can hardly say they can't push for laws respecting their views since that what political parties do.
    The church becomes a political entity.

    And laws still must comport with constitutional limits...

    And the church *isn't* a political entity? :crackup:

    You probably aren't but he's nuts either way. Making them pay taxes wouldn't allow them anything and they already preach about who to vote for.

    Does that seriously make sense to you?

    How in your head does making them pay taxes change any of the constitution or change that they're already a HUGE lobbying group/influence? :crackup:
