VECCI, which counts some of the country's wealthiest businesses among its 5800 dues-paying members, posted an operating profit of $3.55 million in 2012-13. It holds $73.3 million in assets and paid more than $20.4 million in wages to 248 employees.
Sooo 248 gasbags on an average of $85K a year and they now want my taxes to help fund em???? You dont get a choice who to to donate to in these cases.
