On Sunday a new friend offered a wildly different angle on a question I had not expected to come up. Especially after learning about his job.

Is it fair how much we pay in taxes?

I had spent the past weekend with my teenage daughter at a soccer tournament.

Over two days, the kids play matches for 210 minutes…for 280 minutes if they are very good and lucky…and 350 minutes if they are very, very good. The rest of the time is about hanging out with teammates.
