Oh wow! That is so “small world”. I think the first Saratoga was a CV-3?
Well this is where I kind of get away from the typical senior. I do not travel much, hardly ever eat out unless my son takes me or maybe I go out with the girls from work, and live very frugally. I was raised without a lot of money and even though I have some now, to me it is to be used to generate income. The principal must never be touched. That’s pretty old-fashioned but that’s just the way I am.
I don’t mind paying taxes. I have for years. I do object to having taxes increased, however, to pay for other people who are too lazy to work or for frivolous pork-barrel projects. There is so much money wasted, it is literally a crime. Get that under control first and then fix the income tax problem.
I think the only way to stop government spending is to cut off the money first. If you are frugal then the Fair Tax impacts you less than the spenders!!!
