NPR (not piano related) Census 2000

[Frank Cahill]

We all get some money back from Uncle Sam in various ways. The public schools
and road funds are examples.  Let's face it, no one likes taxes and giving out
personal info. But... I want to be counted if funds are available for my
community.

Now let's talk about the extra tax we pay because we are self-employed. I bet
that get's the fur flying!!!
