Will. The same people who want to "level the playing field" are the ones who are against school vouchers. The NEA (democrats)has fought vouchers for years. That would do more to hold parents and teachers accountable and raise the quality of our schools than any of this garbage we are talking about. As we catholic's know, ALL catholic's contribute to the Diocese they live in whether you have children or not and the Diocese spends this money on all kinds of charities, homeless, foodbanks, and schools. There is NO requirement to donate. By some's remarks, they feel the deductability of these deduction are somehow sinister. Yet, try to take away the deductability of the real estate taxes and their charitable deductions, they scream bloody murder. Will, I agree. It's a waste of time to try and educate someone with a closed mind. But, I appreciate you trying. Thanks, Matt
