Teach your children well, an especially good time in this uncertain environment, and times of greed and excess, it might later transfer to an old long forgotten dictum in them their halls that spend your hard earned dollars. We just had a Prime Minister cancell work in Parlaiment though the Canadian taxpayer pays his wages, does that remind you of a certain period in history, where taxation without representation was the norm. The public purse seems to have endless...... and then....... start at home, make clear to them, where the money come from.

 

 
 
 
In this purse dear friend,
Let’s see, there is, oh yes,
A penny I will lend,
For I tell you, every penny earned,
A trickle of my life I spend,
Hold it precious in your hand,
For the travel back in time is scant,
Take care and think of me,
Think, what I give so free,
Think, part of my life I give,
With it, life, and part of me you live,
Go buy your lollipop dear child,
Or the doll, that you so beguiled,
Remember though, please pass it on,
As I have my life onto you, and when I am gone,
Give in admonition of this, your gold,
When such treasures, in your purse you hold.©08/01/2010

...my heart wells from these words Jasmin
as I was just speaking with my daughter about
many things that were given to me & in those times
I am so privledged to remember them all...
I recall my grandmother complaining about gasoline
when it was going over 90 cents...
Love & All The Blessings of YOU
a Treasuring Heart to Behold

This is very apt, timely, and wise, Jasmin. I agree with your sentiments towards our prime minister Stephen Harper. I am not a fan of his recent tactics. Your introduction reminds me of my father's advice to me when I was a child. Love and peace to you,

Regis

This fine lesson goes beyond the child. This should be forwarded to Arnie the Governator and our congress!!! We done Jasmin. Patrick

Oh yes, sounds very familiar. In 1765 it was President John Adams who argued against "Taxation without Representation" and it seems we are fighting all over again now....

Be always safe,
