Of course, this dwarfs any benefits the Boy Scouts get. Not only do sports teams get tax breaks, they actually receive taxpayer money to build stadiums. I'm slowly becoming a sports fan, but the politics sicken me.
The benefits from the Boy Scouts more than make up what the city would collect in rent.
I don't get this. How so?
Future leaders.
How? The city doesn’t have to fund youth organizations that provide a clear purpose and build character in youth. Can you imagine how much it would cost taxpayers to fund an organization the size of BSA and have the same accomplishments and achievements the BSA has had?
It’s not even close. The gov’t, any gov’t couldn’t do it in a million years. You know why? Volunteers who actually give a good damn about the youth of this country.
