I'll definitely be reading the article in full, it'll just have to wait until I've got more ability to focus. I know these issues are rarely cut
and dried, but it still seeps pretty apalling to quibble over a tax bill instead of attempting to make restitution for past wrongs.

Admittedly I am ignorant about these topics, but if the statue is such an issue, couldn't we move it somewhere else?
Also: What do you MEAN "tax issues"? Who owes taxes to whom here? 😕

I don't know what country you're in so I can't really give advice, just sympathy, and add "sanitation" to that list (garbage collection). Dirty job and hard work, but where I live the pay is decent. Also: mail carriers (but they're on strike here all the time, so. Should tell you something).

You never know, maybe some of them learned something about themselves that day
