Amen to that too.

..... simply stunning.
as much as i'm against high taxes and the government having a huge role in daily life, some things are necissary. roads for example. i don't care if you don't drive - have you used public transit (those busses drive on the roads too) or walked on the sidewalk? that said, those with cars still do pay more for the roads through gasoline taxes.
as for helping families with childcare - its a good thing. its very expensive and in a lot of families with young'ins its tough to make ends meet. paying the family directly rather than subsidizing daycare is also a step in the right direction - make your own decisions that are right for you. if that money is the difference between letting timmy play on the community soccer team or having him sit on his ass in front of the tv after school every day don't you see that as being a huge benefit to society as a whole? LOL childhood obesity and the huge health problems it creates (ie: large bill for taxpayers for a quadrouple bypass in 10 years).
