Sacrifice
A week ago, if you had told me that we’d be paying over $3, edging towards $4, a gallon for gas, I’d have predicted riots. But I’ve hardly heard a murmor of complaint. People seem to be getting the idea that it’s unseemly to whine about our daily hassles in the face of the tragedy that others are facing.
I think Landismom’s idea of writing her Senators to point out that now is not a reasonable time to cut the estate tax is a good one. I’ll admit, I thought an estate tax cut was a bad idea in the first place. But maybe the need for some shared sacrifice is an argument that even some Republican Senators will listen to.
