As a72 y/o retiree, I paid off my house 10yrs ago. I pay school taxes, income taxes...

...paid Medicare taxes for 45+ years. Taxes in NY State are over the top.

I have 2 Daughters and 6 Grandchildren. I will bequeath my properties to my children and grandchildren.

I have set up a family trust.

As for these moral/political diatribes, my concerns have always centered around over-population. Limited resources cannot endure increasing consumption.

We humans are technologically advanced and socially retarded. If our social development advanced at the tech levels, most problems would not exist at current levels.

Looking at Governments to fix our "ills" is incredibly myopic and naive.

That's my rant for today. Thx for your indulgence.
