I was speaking to a young mother recently, about Georgia's tax-funded health care system for low-income families. (Peachcare) She was astonished that my family and I didn't qualify, because we made too much money, and she said it wasn't fair. I guess it isn't fair that my family not only has to pay for our own healthcare, but also those who are on tax-funded medical assistance. But, to me, it is a source of pride that my husband is capable of securing gainful employment, good benefits and enough money to care for his family, after our taxes are paid.

In CA the problem is MAMMOTH - the state spends billions in our taxes providing such services to illegal aliens. So I get testy listening to contractors go on about how conveeeenient it is to be able to hire them.

I wish everyone had your attitude.
