Conversation with my 7 year old grandson today:
Liam: Nana, you pay taxes right?
Me: I do, do you know why and what tax money is used for?
Liam: so we can have firemen, police and schools right?
Me: you are so correct and for a whole lot more...
Liam: my momma and daddy pay lots of taxes, do you?
Me: I pay my fair share...and that makes us good citizens. Do you know what a citizen is?
Liam: someone who pays taxes and loves their country? Our country's great isn't it?
Me: absolutely! Why would you ask that?
Liam: because trump said it wasn't...he's bombing places and that scares me and makes me feel bad for the people he's bombing...and he doesn't pay taxes, he's not a good citizen then is he? He's real creepy and has funny hair. And why is he still orange? I...just...don't...get...it. (Shakes head)
He's 7, has compassion and empathy....so proud of my young liberal in training!
