Fine by me. I'm sure such an effort would be pretty futile though. Maybe we could start by removing any dependent tax deductions, exempting those without kids from school district taxes, etc. I didn't mean to make this about kids, although it does piss me off that if you can't afford it, the rest of us end up paying for it via taxes, insurance, tuition, etc. My whole point is life sucks for most people right now. Don't blame it on Walmart, or Obama, or whatever - you're not entitled to anything. If you think you're underpaid, quit and go somewhere else. If that doesn't work out for ya, you probably weren't underpaid.
