life - first for my parents - my sister and I helped them buy their home - then my son - private school because public schools were dangerous.  I am happy to do my part - especially when people like David Brooke make sacrifices.

My medicare recently went up because I sold my house one year and made a profit.  that seems completely fair to me.  (I hope they check my tax forms every year - we'll see.)  

What sacrifices are you talking about mudslide - I'd like to hear - and you may have good points I haven't heard.
