We are mostly self- funded, and we are Absolutely NOT connected in any way to Scientology, Phyllis Schafley or othe ...

864 The Tax Bill & the D's -- rank: 1000

Max, According to one news report I watched, the Bush tax scheme would start a new category -- those earning $6,000 per year would be taxed at 10%. This seems like it will hurt lots of disabled persons since many are working part time, as well as students. If I remember correctly the standard deduction on the tax form is over $6,000. So what is going on here. Who is going to get the load of this tax? Marta Max Sawicky wrote: > > > My project, not that anybody asked, is to > high ...

Peter Kosenko wrote: > > I began to wonder about the study of children who have been in daycare > that indicated that they tended to exhibit more minor "behavior problems" than other children. Now there might be a quite obvious explanation for that.

Some "misbehavior ...
