<P>"Here, I think you should "share" to pay for my house."</P>
<P>Yep if you are disabled and unable to work and pay for it yourself, I think so too. It's especially good to help a low-income family buy a house rather than subsidizing rental costs, because home ownership goes a long way to bring families out of poverty--it's an asset that can be passed on to future generations and borrowed against for things like college tuition.</P>
<P>"Here again, I think you should "share" to pay for my childrens education."</P>
<P>Yep, since I live in a community that includes your children, your children and I are dependent upon one another. Your children may be my caregivers when I am in a nursing home, or may handle my complaint when I purchased a defective product. I want healthy and well educated people as coworkers, as the people who fix my cars, as my doctors, etc.</P>

<P>"Here again, I think you should "share" to pay for my retirement."</P>
<P>Yep, I feel strongly about this one. You've worked your whole life and if you don't have the resources to provide for yourself when you can no longer work, it is my responsibility to help you. Social Security and Medicare withholdings are my favorite part of paying taxes. By the way have you (or Joshua since he's gutting public schools) ever contemplated minimum wage? two wage earners earning minimum wage gross a whopping $21,424 in combined annual income. Start planning for your retirement with that, will you.</P>

<P>"Here again, I think you should "share" to pay for my medical needs. "</P>
<P>Again, I strongly believe that if you are sick and need care, I should help pay for it. Among other things, timely access to quality health care will make you a more productive worker, give you a chance to get better and remain a contributing member of our community, even if your contributions are coerced.</P>
<P>"Here again, I think you should "share" to pay for clothing my children."</P>
<P>Now that you mention it, I know that both the Latah County and the Whitman County Community Action Centers (government funded, you know) are accepting donations of coats and winter gear for children, and coats are always on short supply. Thanks for reminding me. If you've ever worked with low-income kids, you understand the look on their faces when they get a new, stylish colorful coat, and not just a hand-me-over, so we should give new ones, if we can.</P>
<P> Here again, I think you should "share" to pay for my job security. </P>
<P>Yep, I think we should spend money to create and keep jobs, so that more people are earning money and available to share with you!</P>

<DIV>It's good to see you are getting it! A gold star for you!</DIV>
