Prosecuting and jailing pedophiles IS the people’s business. Get these pedos away from our children, no more hiding behind statues of limitations!!

I don't know any anarchists that claim that they don't get any benefit from the government. They're anti-government because of state violence, and either don't want the benefits that come from that, or believe we can get similar benefits another way.

Reply to comment by Dry-Coyote540 in Problems creating myPATH account, keeps giving me an error message. by notallwonderarelost
Thanks, agreed. I am used to a different state with super user friendly tax filing to the point where it took me like 5 minutes, didn't have to enter W-2s or anything, just basically report everything from Federal taxes. I filled it out and it just random says I owe $150 and doesn't give me any description or breakdown of why/how or anything like that which seems crazy.

As an FYI for others, upon further research (not obvious on main pages), you can't create a myPATH account until you file taxes once in the state of PA. You can however file taxes without a myPATH account, kinda dumb they don't specify this in a more effective way. I'm assuming once I file my taxes and they are accepted i'll be able to create a new myPATH account.

The implication is that it simply goes out of business like so many other smaller hospitals lately.
They have not been having good years.

Universally? Are you sure? Maybe the Southies don’t know the story. Ain’t nobody named Patrick who wants to be called Patty on those mean streets.

We spend more on education per student then most all countries and we are still falling behind, it can’t be spent more money and it can’t be the same old same old.

The rich Republicans don't fall for it. As you said, it's exactly what they want. They send their kids to top end prep/boarding schools, and pay for top tier tutors.
The poor Republicans are complete morons that fall for it, hook line and sinker, via the reasons above so that culture war bullshit propagated by OWN, FoxNews, and Breitbart propaganda networks keeps the good times rolling.
Rich people need the "have nots" in order for out of control Capitalism to keep working.

Oh Shapiro can dictate what happens in Ohio now? Gee golly, it seems those wacky Democrats are always so sneaky and powerful, and at the same time somehow weak and limp wristed...
Shapiro is powerful enough to control Ohio, but too weak to do it correctly? Is that what you're saying?

Shapiro had the authority to do that when it happened on Ohio? Think carefully now.

That's how my school did it in the UK in the 90s. I cant comprehend the idiocy of this whole sex/books/religion war in schools. Have the option, dont want your kids learning it? Opt them out, and let the educated carry on getting educated.

Money changing hands isn’t always classified as a profit motivation which is receiving money as a result of prior capital contribution to the entity.
The definition of profit doesn’t include an employees salary even though there is a link between them. It gets a little tricky with executive bonuses and how much influence they have at deciding their own compensation but these large non profits have a lot of lawyers to figure that out

Taxpayers don't have a choice with their money funding highly regulated, underperforming public schools. Anything that gives options to poor parents stuck living in these school districts is a net win.

yeah, privatization is not the route to get there, unless you want to make the issues 100x worse.
