Snowbird...you are a sweetheart and I always read your posts. I hope you weren't implying that I am not concerned for the
welfare of others just because I verbalized my own contentment.
You have to start with your OWN life. When you make your life happy and prosperous, you are in a better position to help
others find the same. I pay taxes....lots of them. I want my taxes to go toward the betterment of the whole country in a
well-thought-out balance that includes all our needs, not just the needs of a particular segment. I also believe in personal
charitable donations to causes that are near and dear to me that perhaps aren't covered as much as I would like through
the divisions of the tax pie.
I like what Jesus said: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
I know it's overused, but for good reason.
