Samantha,
Can you imagine the greed, jealousy and short sightedness present in
people that don't want to see others have anything?
I was raised in a poor segment of society. Early on I was let hnow that
my ticket out was in "hitting the books." When I was in college I was
ridiculed gently by my friends for not going to work and "making some money."
Early in my career, the "sphagetti years," those same friends offered to
help me get a "good job." Then when things came my way they said, "I never
had it lucky like you." Now that we are all retired they want the "govament"
to give them more. They never connect the dots and realise the money to
"give them more" will come from their very children that need the money to
raise their grandchildren. Yet statistics show that we retirees have more
discretionary income than the group that is raising children. Greed and lack
of foresight.
