karen, stats are misleading. If you isolate cost of education(and that would include RE and other taxes for public schools in the good school districts all the way to public and private college), health care, housing(high prices with low rates, thank the lord), day care, and taxes for the so-called rich two earner young family with kids earning 100K, it tells a far different story. Sometimes social problems hit crisis proportions for the society. My belief is that we are awfully close to a crisis if not there already. Also check bankrupcy stats for young families--its higher than the divorce rate and that divorce rate often is so high because of financial problems besetting a family. After bankrupcy and divorce you get single parent families. It is a cycle we need to get out of and this is a case where doctinaire libertarianism is not better than doctrinaire socialism. But anyway, Happy Thanksgiving. Its always fun to argue with you. And regards to Hubby--he should pick up a copy of Das Kapital--it is worth reading when we capitalists who have made it, get too complacent. Remember what happened to the Czar. MIke
