Are you one of those people who resents the fact that some folks have more than you do & others a lot more?

Q: 1 - If so, why do you FEEL this way? 2 - If not, to what do you attribute your common sense and maturity? 3 - Which party seeks to exploit these FEELINGS in our fellow citizens?

A: I was taught from my early childhood to be content with whatever I had and to realize that while I may not be as fortunate as some... there is always someone less fortunate than myself. Further, I was taught to work hard and save whatever I could so that I would always have a little something for a "rainy day." Fortunately, I grew up around my great-grandmother who was born at the turn of the last century, and she lived through much harder times than we could ever imagine. Moreover, she never complained, whined, or thought that she was deprived or neglected. Daily, I saw her work on our farm, taking care of the cattle, chickens, and gardens while my grandfather worked from dawn to dusk plowing, sowing, and harvesting his fields. Thus, they taught me, by example, how to work hard and be thankful for what you have. In fact, I never once remember them being jealous because they didn't have whatever "John Doe" had; they were just thankful for what they "did" have. So... I am very thankful that I had wonderful examples in my life. Joe Biden says that more people should be patriotic by letting the government "take" some of their money and give it to others who are less fortunate. So... I guess the Democrats believe in class warfare.
