@fatsam Anybody that opposes a wealth tax has no capability to think for themselves.

I’ve talked to some conservatives about this, and in 100% of cases, their opposition was “if they can tax that wealth, they can tax mine!”

Sweeties, they already tax you WAY more than the wealthy. And you will never ever ever be wealthy enough to be hit by these taxes. Which is their other big delusion: they really think someday they will strike it rich.

In summary, the conservative movement is a small number of greedy rich people, and a LARGE amount of profoundly stupid people who think they are part of a “club” with the rich ones who don’t care about them at all.

Look, your biological kids didn't ask to be brought into the world. You did that, usually for as purely selfish reasons as exist among people.

Adopted and step kids are a slightly different deal, but once you've made the decision to be a parent to them, then it's the same deal, again.

You owe them your best effort. All they owe you is the respect you've earned ... if any. If they love you, on top of that, be grateful.

There was a time I believed that the people who put us into this predicament were either A) Stupid or B) Evil.

Then I realized I was wrong.

It is possible to be both.

I would hope that karma is a real thing, and that it finds those folks and gives them what they deserve. Sooner, rather than later.

@fatsam Kids that age remind me of the story about the newly-wed woman who offered a set of encyclopedia for sale.

"Never used. New husband already knows everything."

@fatsam Went back and watched it. Worth the revisit.
