I tend to be vehement, I do not mean to direct it in any bad way. It is simply passion.

But still I am confused. You work hard and contribute and get a return? how will your children or grandchildren be worse off? I am curious. I don't know anyone who pays such horrid taxes that if they make enough to help their children thru college that it sucks for them. there is an odd middle ground, that we fell into... too much for aide, too little to afford to pay for it - until the grandchriden, when stocks etc after retirement did it. smile. anyways...

my nephew and neices have gotten fine educations. better by far than moi, and that is fine with me. generation to generation. and they will be left an inheritence and the land they asked us to save for them by the river.

you talk of some horrid tax burden. what burden? what? I doubt they ever pay more than their grandfather or parents have.

but they are far better off than the depression era of my father and mother. my mother actually was so smart she got a scholorship in the depression. my father went to school on the g.i. bill. their grandchildren? their grandparents have mostly paid for it.

so the suffering comes when?

they have degrees. I don't. what are you talking about, I ask again. I think you are mistaken. I do not mean to be 'vehement', tho I do tend to be emotional, but I do honestly think you mistaken.... my neices and nephew have been given the best of educations, and given land, and will be left money... and we not rich by any means... just been wise. but it is generation to generation. if they pay some taxes, which I doubt will be any more than they are now... so what?

and frankly, I am very good at investing. give me medicare and ss and forget about it. I'll take care of it. I do not lose money. aside from hauling hay and swinging the blade in the ditches, that is what I do. you worry for nothing unless idiots are in charge. I do not lose money. my neices and nephew depend on that fact.
