 But nobody's checking your balance sheet.   [/quote]

It seems like people [i]are[/i] checking balance sheets, or at least think they have the right to, which I think was OP's entire point.[/quote]

No one has ever asked to see my pay stub, bank accounts, or tax returns.  The Clergy (rabbi and cantors) are unaware what people are contributing.  Only the business office is, and they keep it confidential.  I used to pay more, but my life situation changed:  I was suddenly paying 1K/month extra for non-optional expenses (medical treatments).  Instead of paying 2% of my income, I am paying 1/2 of 1%.  (3K vs  $750).  But, no one audited me to see what I could afford.  They did ask why I was requesting the reduction in dues -- but more in the line that do I need other help?  I only asked for prayer.

One other point is yes, it is harder for a family with 165K to pay the dues than it is for a single person, but the family will require much more services...[/quote]
