(20,176 posts)Yes! Yes! You should use common sense, sane thinking and reason to make assessments of the common good and to judge the appropriateness of other people's actions. This used to be a core-tenet of liberal thinking. It needs to be again.
There is no reason for anybody making $94000 a year to neglect the well-being and preventive care of their children nor to argue that it's an unnecessary expense. None. Unless your financial priorities are severely out-of-wack (We could get tetanus booster shots for the kids but that would mean I wouldn't be able to afford that cruise to Greece...), there is no basis for this. People making these kinds of assessments in their own shoes need to have someone else making the decisions in their shoes because they are clearly not mature or capable enough to make them themselves.
