My husband and I are conservative and we basically live paycheck to paycheck because I have stayed home to raise our children, and now I am helping my children by babysitting for them---and getting to spend time with my grandkiddies.

I love any tax cut that comes my way---and I have never, ever begrudged any wealthy person for their tax cuts...I think it is unfair to have the wealthy pay a tax rate close to 50% of their salary...

What needs to be done is reduce the social programs that suck the life force out of the hard-working people of any pay grade!

The tax cut business is a major weakness in this otherwise reasonably well written piece.

You're richer than most. As Zig often says, nobody looks up from their deathbed and says, "I wish I had spent more time at the office."

My husband & I agreed 25 years ago that I would stay home with our children. Sure, we don't have the newest gadgets and cars and have struggled at times. But we have kids that appreciate the fact that Mom was always there. That was our choice and now I'm waiting for grandskids. Got time yet, my kids are 20 & 18.

I don't undestand how anyone agrees with taxing the rich to give to the poor. For pete's sake, they worked for and it's their money!

God bless you. I admire your dedication to your children.
