Civics Lesson

In the drive thru at McDonalds last night the Boy saw our Tax and Total on the screen. So he asked me what tax is.  I explained in some detail about the role of government in our lives and how we have a president to “make rules” and have taxes to help pay for things like schools and firefighters.  After my 3 or so minute discourse, I got in return a very monotone response of, “Wow. That’s amazing.” 

This is what he gets for having a mother with a Political Science degree.
