[Vision2020] Domenstic Benefits?

[Phil Nisbet]

Don

Yes, we do get a benefit for the kids, but the kids actually work that off 
because they end up paying taxes when the time comes.  If nobdoy was coming 
up behind us, there sure as shooting would be no Social Security and the 
rest of the services we expect would not be there once we retire if nobody 
was working and paying taxes.

But other than that, I think we are in agreement.
