Cutting through hospital red tape by breaking some hospital rules can only hurt yourself. Evading paying your fair share of taxes hurts everyone. Either we all have to make up for the people who don't pay enough, or the deficit just gets bigger and interest rates go up, etc. etc. etc. Notice the 'fair share' phrase above. It is hard to say what a fair share of taxes is when the tax codes have so many exemptions. Now if we had tax reforms to a simple tax code where everyone just paid x%, I believe fewer people will cheat and we will all be happier knowing everyone pays relatively the same percentage. But that's another discussion. - Bill Cambre ATTISL 53122 ahuta!45223wc 834-3788
