It’s high Time For All Houses OF Worship TO Start Paying Property Tax. I notice Large parcels of property concerning houses of worship of all denominations and all religions, they are getting a free tax ride at everyone’s expense, this has to stop in this day and age.. . from curb repairs to garbage removal and pickup so on and so forth this has to come to an end now, The houses of worship from the mainline Churches the Independent congregational Temples and Mosques, Let them make up a new budget to include paying property taxes , believe me it won’t break them in the least , Every House of Worship must put away to pay expenses from now on to pay to piper by making them pay their fair share of Taxes. It will put a a nice piece of change in the local coffers so lets say Amen to total tax abatement for all houses of worship.
WHAT IS A houses of worshipIRC section 501(c) describes several organizations that qualify for tax-exempt status, including churches, but does not provide a precise definition of a “church.” However, IRS Publication 1828, Tax Guide for Churches and Religious Organizations, l ists 14 criteria the IRS considers important in deciding whether an organization qualifies. They are
1. A distinct legal existence. 2.A recognized creed and form of worship. 3.A definite and distinct ecclesiastical government. 4. A formal code of doctrine and discipline. 5. A distinct religious history. 6.A membership not associated with any other church or denomination. 7.An organization of ordained ministers. 8.ordained ministers selected after completing prescribed studies.
9. A literature of its own.
10. Established places of worship. 11.Regular congregations.
12.Regular worship services. 13.Schools for the religious instruction of the young. 14.Schools for the preparation of ministers
The Governors office should not either bail out or revamp N.U.M.C.A .
Don’t Give NUMC A Cent , No one in there right mind wants to go to that joint, the services are piss poor from the Doctors to the nurses right down to the orderlys., There is an array of foreign Doctors no one speaks Properly English . you watch star trek and they go to remote planets and everyone speaks English, you go to NUMC and hardly anybody does. God forbid your in an accident or having a medical emergency. people have been known to beg the ambulance driver not to take them to NUMC. NIFA dont give them any more money the East meadow residents are tired of a non tax payer and perhaps they should either tare down the building or convert it into an apartment complex..end

The reason I believe the movies of today are lousy and it’s not because the scripts or screen plays but the Actors and Singers,Comedians and composers of film music are not of the caliber of years past.To be blunt ..they just do not exist today. James Cagney, Jolson,Clark Gable,Ann Sheridan, Susan Heyward to name a few are no longer around.
Composers of film music Such as Eric Wolgand Korngold, Max Steiner & Elmer Burnstein just are not here and what we have is second rate composers plus Bad actors & not funny comedians.Until the movers and shakers wake up we won”t have the caliber of talent that once graced the silver screen & Broadway.
Colleges Are Making Out Like Bandits Today An Education Costs As Much As $80,000 Per Year And That’s Paramount To Hy-way Robbery
Before the Viet Nam war only the upper middle class and rich went onto college for the most part, the students of the working poor went on to trade school or straight to work from High School.
The Viet Nam War changed that forever. At first it was a way out of the war and draft now has become the standard the Norm for most. The most brilliant of student did not go on to higher education, the war had put and end to that forever.Today a High School diploma is nothing more than an attendance certificate.When many.students graduated High School a College Education cost $10 000 for the complete 4 years..
25 years ago a college education costs around $40,000 for 4 years today it’s that much per year. Ex or former graduated Students are defaulting on their student loans & they can never pay them back. People’s credit is being ruined for life , something is wrong with this system .Its lopsided the only ones befitting for the most part are the colleges. College tuition must be capped and rolled back to 1960 prices
All The Bru HaHa and commotion about Affirmative Action was a shame because it didn’t have to divide America.
Why you ask.. because at $80,000 tuition they could accommodated everyone..well enough money to hire more professors get more books and build more classrooms. … That’s not $80,000 but $80,000 per student per year ..sad let us all wake up and see it for what it really is college is a merely a business for the owners and stock holders of the college nothing more.Don’t let anyone tell you that ”I’m going to college for an education”…BULLSH-T. they’re going for a piece of paper… A BA,an MA , A PHD,your lucky if when you graduate that if you’ll get a J.O.B.
Bums Or as they are known today as homeless in the 1930’s we’d call them Hobos ,but for the purpose of this story, I’ll refer to them as Bums, they are hogging the soda and bottle deposit booths and forcing us many to dump their deposit cans and bottles in the garage and loose their deposit.
I see them pushing large supermarket carts filled to capacity with empty soda cans and taking up all the space at the deposit booths, In my area I can see a sea of Bums wheeling in those over stacked supermarket wagons with bottles & cans And the average Mr. & Mrs can”t redeem their empties.
The supermarket should crack down on this, many have & those that have are very lack in enforcing it and so the our cans windup in the trash. there must be a limit and it must be in inforced because its hindering our recycling efforts ..end
Beards should be allowed in all phases of military and police in this country. The British Army always allowed the Indians to be bearded & their Sikh soldiers turbaned.It in no way did it hindered their performance Simply by not allowing its just plain biased plain and simple whether its Jew – Muslim -or what ever culture .Anyone that wants a beard should be permitted to one have one.In ancient times soldiers were told to shave off their beards since in battle an approaching soldiers can pull it and disable him. Most cases men who complains about a beard is unable to grow a good beard due to lack of facial hair. or their Boss won’t allow them to do so.
The N.Y. C Police academy to dismissed an applicant after he went through the training course is just unconscionable he should be reinstated immediately if not sooner,end

A Mom & Pop simlply can not.the future you may only see pizza huts or Dominoes, Pizza still around as rents and the outright refusal by big corporations to sign leases with a Mom &pops; So be prepared to see a new breed of retailer around in the next 10 yrs.

Big Oil has taken the savings of Americans to tune of more than $10,000 more than they did last decade, some spend an average of $300 to $600 dollars to travel to work per month on the average.What was once the driving publics savings has gone into the coffers Big oil.This has to stop and until it does there will be no true recovery in the economy and housing market.
People are loosing their equity and hard earned savings as a domino effect on all sold goods takes efect and all retail prices just keep rising with no end in site.Congress must act in a bipartisan manner to correct this problem , the administration must open up oil reserves now cap prices now if a solution is in site for the future. We at the Lerman Report suggest nationalization of all oil companies as a major remedy of this problem.end
