You can write off donations to charities, but you can't decide to redistribute the tax revenue as you choose.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-60979904411653544872010-11-04T04:53:19.016-07:002010-11-04T04:53:19.016-07:00Aren't there tax deductions for religious givi...Aren't there tax deductions for religious giving as well? Yet I don't see too many people saying that the government is simultaneously "endorsing" bunches of different religions.<br /><br />As long as the rules for all charities are evenly applied, I don't have a problem with it.

Hence the district system which has no obvious utility beyond the maintenance of class barriers. No districts? No differences in funding and rich people fighting tooth and nail to stay outside the system.allen (in Michigan)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-71747652749347179342010-11-03T23:09:24.103-07:002010-11-03T23:09:24.103-07:00I wonder if those folks would object if there was ...I wonder if those folks would object if there was a school run by Wiccans?Fiftyvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11527599911826746425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-78901358412017178972010-11-03T20:02:41.795-07:002010-11-03T20:02:41.795-07:00I'm all for separation of school and state.I'm all for separation of school and state.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15202716125247172211noreply@blogger.com
