Why is it that so many are so quick to point the fingure at the rich folks? People are always looking for someone to lay blame to. Why are we so quick to condemn and so slow to commend? It is the rich that create jobs for the less fortunate so that they can earn an honest living and have a quality standard of life. It is the few elite who are continually giving their money and their time to help raise money for needy organizations and medical break throughs so that we can enjoy better health and a longer life.
I hear the poor saying that the rich are always grumbling about paying their fair share in taxes. First of all... who don't grumble about paying taxes? Taxes are high anyway that you look at them. In reality though, they are well worth the benefits we receive in exchange. We have the finest military ever assembled togather on the face of this earth in the history of the world. We have our freedom to come and go at will. We have the best highways. We have fine hospitals and doctors that won't turn anyone away even if they don't have health care insurance. We have food in abundance. (This was proven just this past Thursday.)
No one likes paying taxes. Though I never really have to pay a whole lot at the end of the year, I still hate to see tax time come around. Just the fact that you have to pull out all the paper work and set down with your calculater and number two pencil and make a trip to the post office is enough to set me off.
We all pay our share. What makes this country great is the way in which we all pull togather and pay or do what we can.
Instead of making judgement upon the rich, why not spend that time and energy on thinking of ways that we can give more and do more to help others have a better life. We may not be equally as rich as far as the number of dollars in our bank accounts. But there are some of us who are more able bodied and the one thing that we all have for sure...is the time.
