Aug 7

Just got a letter from my cousin in deep rural West Virginia. She doesn't think she should pay for schools with her taxes because she's old and already did her share.

Well I'll find a way to justify it to her. Maybe the old, " well if the old people didn't help out when our kids were in school, they wouldn't have had a good education." Or something. I have to think on it.

But Bernie will have his hands full trying to get those people to see past their noses. 👃
