RE: The Wisdom of the Amish?
Yes, the church buys the land, so no taxes. The newlyweds are given a farm, house, barn and everything they need to succeed. Their only payment, is to bring their excess to the farm / restaurant to help the next couple!
These are Not stupid people! :)
These people shame all the wannabe anarchists that claim that label but still support the state under the premise that "Taxation is theft and I am forced to pay them".
They have definately removed themselves from the system!
That was one of the reasons I was so impressed that they voted in Pa last election. That was a massive endevor! :)
ha! I was just going to say that their church is their bank in most communities and like @baah said ..that is brilliant.
yeah they know how to make great food, I've eaten at 3 different restaurants that they own and run and it's wonderful. especially if you're trying to gain weight because it's not exactly low cal or sugar free!
Yes, when you come in, you enter through a store to sit down. When you leave, you exit through the same store. The shelves you didn't notice coming in; are covered with home made goodies you just filled up on!
They have a LOT of secondary sales as people leave. They tell the people waiting to leave, that there is plenty, so not to worry (but think about what you want to buy, LOL) there will be plenty when you get there. It is legal.... :)
very savvy.
They had it timed where the fresh baked bread got there about ten minutes before the dinner was over. Should be illegal, LOL! (That bread was GOOD!)
I bet they come close to doubling their take in that store. :)
lol yes more to admire them for!
They are impressive for sure! I think the buggies may be for flavor. Sure don't have to worry about preservatives.... :)
