Sallies I think I grew up in some parallel United States: one where people believe in - - no taxation without representation; where employers and employees understood, both have responsibilities, at the job and at home and where people were not manipulated into something; where life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness meant, a nice home, a dignified life, and the ability to pursue - - goals and dreams, not abortion on demand and living sexually immoral lives, but I guess the Mayflower and the signing of the constitution where just imagined occurrences and not actual history. 

    Arvin when something is said in jest, it has the possibility of a person taking it as truth, so saying things like, "Be glad the IRS doesn't take it all," is definitely irresponsible communication.
