Heidi,
Thank you for the correction, and for the pleasant tone with which you corrected. Civility in blogs is underated.

What I said is
I don't believe a family should pay a dime in taxes until they spend enough to be out of poverty. There are enough of the rest of us to take care of what needs to be done.

what I meant to say is " . . . until they earn enough to be able to spend more than the poverty level . . ." or " . . . until their spending is high enough to demonstrate they are no longer living in poverty . . ."

I'm not sure what you thought I meant because the nonsequiter that is the rest of your post does not seem to be directed at anything I can imagine my words as being interpreted. Perhaps you thought I was saying we or the government should spend enough to lift the family out of poverty?

And I agree with you that feelings and judgement go hand-in-hand and should always be used in conjunction. But I disagree and think knowledge is the necessary third leg of that stool.
