At home, parents just want to eliminate the stress (re-charge) by enjoying some entertainment on the TV tube. Without a tax increase, there is no money to invest onto our children (and our nations) future. I want a tax increase high enough to just pay down our 9 Tillions plus Federal debt so my children can have a better future than me. Sorry, but I love my children too much.

It is far easier to impress and sway a mind that is naive than it is to do so with one that has been educated and exposed to a variety of expressional forms.
