Having said that I understand the mores had changed since we were kids. However, sacriface and restraint are not out of date. The wait that my wife and I endured was well worth it because it strengthened our releationship made it real and lasting.

When it comes to increasing taxes my response is to resist because the more money congress gets the more they spend. Let's face it thre 1% willalways be able to dodge the tax man and those increase commitments by congress that were suppose to be fu ded by the 1% will always fall back on us.
