But they do. As I said in the previous post, someone else's children serve in the army that protects their freedoms, takes them out of a burning house, and serves as a policeman keeping him safe.
Not everything is money and certainly not everything revolves around taxes. You've stood up for the egotists, and that saddens me.
It's your choice how to live, of course, but its my choice to call your position spiritual poverty.
Enjoy the tax cuts.
Non sequitur. And so blatant that it makes me wonder.
First, nobody is forcing "someone else's children" to do these things and I've certainly never asked anyone to. Second, "someone else's children" are being directly compensated, so that hardly constitutes a "handout".
That's some pretty contorted reasoning you are trying to use there. It was not charity when I served in the Army and saved people's lives, and no one owes me anything for my actions.
Your adult offspring have no obligation to you, and you do not own them. Get over it. If you are depending on the charity of your children to get on in life you are pretty pathetic case, and if you think your children are obligated as much then you are outright immoral.
