Not because of any sense of jealousy, as we have done very well, but because of the large discrepancies in our nation today. Third world nations are defined in part by the separation of rich to the rest, we are almost there.
I'm just curious midcan, what percentage of your income goes to charitable giving? How much do you personally help out those poor folk? I'm more than willing to tell you mine if you want.
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
Samuel Adams
