Well, in a sense, any money that anybody makes in this country is made with the support of the roads and the schools and the cops and the fire department and the zoning regulations department, etc. I'm grateful they let me keep enough for groceries. There's no sacrifice too great for the children. You do want to support the children, don't you?

As far as taxing savings go, why not? Spending supports the economy. Savers are a selfish lot, misers, Scrooge McDuck.

Or as a famous song about Mrs. Robinson put it:

"Laugh about it, shout about it, when you have to choose.
Anyway you look at it you lose."
