The best way to get your answer is to ask the neighbors why they are having their packages sent to your house. I don't believe it would have anything to do with taxes, but ask them and see what they say. If it were me, I would not let them do that.
There shouldn't be any reason they can't have their packages delivered to their own house. Or, they could get a post office box. But it sounds "fishy" to me.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
