bless the hearts of kids. I love listening to the young people today. They are so good. They are paying these taxes for grandma and grandpa's retirement. They know that is an obligation and responsibility. They are happy to fulfill it. It is just that they cannot understand why then would we take that money that they work so hard for, that they are so willing to give up for grandma and grandpa and give it to 120 new programs they have not even heard of before. It is a fundamental thing, the families that we know and love and trust and we feel responsible for, putting them ahead of new ventures in life, and the kids understand that.
