What happened was you grew up and joined the rat race. It's easy to live simply and carefree when it's just the 2 of you. You come and go as you please. If you want to sleep until noon after being out late drinking, you do it. When you have a kid or kids, you're whole life changes. You suddenly have to be more responsible and think about someone other than yourself.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
