Here is a quote from Thomas Jefferson: A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.

*Our founding fathers wanted a government of the people with equality for all.* *After all these years are we still on track or does our nation ride for a great fall?* *We work for what we have in this land of the free and sometimes forget to share.* *We see the hungry, homeless and sick but sometimes are busy to care.* *Caring is one thing that* *America* *great and caring will keep us strong.* *It was because our forefathers cared so much that this country has lasted so long.* *Do not let you heart grow cold the needs of others for as we are all citizens we are also sisters and brothers.* *How can we enjoy what riches we have and ignore the pain of these others?* *Share what God has blessed you with and the blessings will return to you.* *Simply because of the good feeling you have because it is the right thing to do.* *God Bless*

Right on, Lew :-)

I think the majority of the people feel as we do. But the GreedMongers, the HatePurveyors, are so blamed noisy. But, cheer up; we CaringSharingMongers are getting louder, too.
