So, I'll tell you what I won't be protesting this year. Taxes. I pays 'em without complaint, because, for me, it's not about my money being sucked away, it's about making the world I live in nicer.
i also like to take it as a time to think about all the things that we take for granted that enable us to live so comfortably and work at the jobs that give us money. education. clean water. roads. yes, even a military, as much as i might disagree with many of those expenditures.
we don't have to walk down the street and see people around us literally starving. again, our social safety nets may not be perfect, but grim as things may be in some sections of East Baltimore, you're not seeing children with swollen bellies. it's amazing how much i'm willing to pay for that.
plus, we are paying Big Bird's salary.
Joe Biden was right on when he said that paying taxes is patriotic.
brava!

Yeah. I guess the nut didn't fall too far from the tree - AGAIN.
