I love that the shoe is on the other foot now.

It reminds me of a conversation with a conservative friend I had a few days ago.  She is a devout Catholic who said to me, "paying taxes does not make you moral".  I agreed.  But wanting to help other people and the community at large, is.  It is all about morality.  I think, for the first time, she is starting to see that in order to help more people, we need government intervention.  I don't think she would admit it but there is a change.
