<p>Agreed, Pizzagirl.</p>
<p>I’m also struck by someone being startled that anyone could support policies that raise their own taxes. </p>
<p>As Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.”</p>
<p>We need to have taxes to support a society that ultimately benefits all of us.</p>
<p>In any case, my hearty congratulations to this young man!</p>
