What is the rationale for going back to school so early in August? You would think from a utilities cost standpoint, and August being the hottest month, that it would be more cost effective to go to the Memorial Day - Labor Day schedule. I always wondered about this. In New York, that is the schedule.
BTW- great thread.
Not only do the foreign workers pay taxes, most don't know that for short term work there is an exemption form they can get to receive all of the money back at the end of the year. This only exempts them from income tax IIRC and does not exempt them from Medicare and Social Security taxes that they will NEVER utilize.
Oh goodness, as far as not utilizing Medicare, you have obviously not had to go to the health clinic in Defuniak.
No, I can proudly state that I don't frequent the free clinic, how many summer workers from SanDestin would you say are there on any given day?
So glad for you, however I have some health problems and no insurance and I HAVE NO CHOICE but to use the clinic for checkups and to get the medicine that I have to take daily and I should not have to be ashamed of that.
When you are in the waiting room, you will only hear an english spoken word when the nurse calls your name.
