I would like to have the people who make the tax laws over to our house so they can see how we live. We live in a nice but modest house in a small city in Ontario. We have 2 cars which are by no means new or fancy. That will curtail my activities with my son, but I am more than willing to make the sacrifice so I can stay at home. I feel I am doing my best raising him and there is no way I would give it up for a few more dollars.
