CIRCA 1950′S- TO THE LATE 1960′S EVERY AMERICAN JEWISH WOMAN OF THAT ERA IN AMERICA, BASICALLY NEW YORK JEWISH WOMAN HAD TO HAVE A MINK STOLE.
NO SELF RESPECTING JEWISH WOMAN WAS WITHOUT ONE………………
WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT IS LOWER INCOME JEWISH WOMAN WHOSE HUSBANDS MAYBE BROUGHT HOME $100 A WEEK IF THEY PUT IN 10 HRS OF OVERTIME IF THEY WERE LUCKY. EVERYTHING WAS SACRIFICED SO THAT THEY CAN WEAR A MINK STOKE EVEN PERHAPS THEIR CHILDREN’S DENTAL WORK OR A SUMMER VACATION OR EVEN A BETTER APARTMENT EVERYTHING HAD TO GO FOR A STOLE

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.
