LOL one thing that grinds my gears every year is property taxes. Nearly 80% of them are slated for schools.

I dont have any school age kids and my nephews are now in colledge. :rotfl:

Oh well such is the price in living in a socialist country.

I look on the bright side in that we do alot of work for different schools around here so I get a small ... very small portion of it back.

But when I see what goes into classrooms these days its staggering. Computers, projection systems, media retreval, lab benches, sound rienforcement systems (for hearing impared) not to mention new mandates for lighting systems, occupancy sensors, building energy management systems, and on and on. Hundereds of thousands of dollars on alot of stuff and we havent even bought pencils and paper yet.
