My guess is that it will work about as well as that $4,000 a month guaranteed salary to the newly certified teachers worked. How many months did they pay the $4,000 a month to those teachers? If someone has a million dollars at their disposal and they're seriously considering doing this, why don't they just write a check for a million dollars directly to Maharishi's nephew. That way they cut out all the bullshit of having to go through setting up a business that every 5-year-old knows isn't going to work anyway. At least this way they'll get a tax write-off for a donation... >
