It's far from being the only valid point. If not for other good reasons, at the least I care about how my tax money is spent because 60% of my salary and 18% of many services and goods I pay for goes there. Not to mention stuff like creating local jobs, reducing national debt by reducing amounts of foreign currency that the government has to send abroad and other negligible financial stuff. --Amos ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
