Courting a lady love these days has gone the way of the finer senses. Today's male is more likely to be insensitive to making a woman feel special. Certainly the lyrics that blast out everywhere, even in department stores, have very little to do with love, only sex and more sex. What a shame we have become so crude and rude and unattractive. "Where is the love?"
Paying taxes unites us. It also divides us. People can pay five and even six times more in state and local taxes than other folks in similar circumstances making similar incomes.

In one of the fastest-growing forms of identity theft, crooks are stealing tax refunds by swiping personal information and using it to trick the Internal Revenue Service.
immigration reform
There are solutions to the runaway immigration problem but the elected officials are too self-interested to look at them let alone pass laws that might relieve the situation.
Studies show that more women than men are now making their illegal entrance through our borders. This is easily explanable. Once a woman gets here and makes a baby she's home free. We need to change the law to make it more difficult for a baby born here of foreign parents to become citizens. At the very least the parents should be in the United States and gainfully employed here for at least a year before the baby is born. This would help stench the flow of illegals without punishing anyone here or coming over here.
