Republicans have a lot of work to do. Oddly enough, while reading the second-to-last paragraph, I found myself asking what are the current Administration's responses to some of these questions? Several of the issues embedded within here cannot be solved by unprecedented spending, which seems to have been the common fix lately.

Single people also pay for other people's children to reap the benefits of our public school system. Most importantly, many people who are disabled are SINGLE and get NONE of the tax preferences afforded to the elderly, married or any other preference group under our income tax code or real estate taxes in most states (except NY). Thanks for raising the issue for more discussion.Kimberly Wilcoxnoreply@blogger.com
