While I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors
stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I
asked their 12 year old son what she wanted to be when he grows up. He said she wanted

what would be the first thing you would do?" He replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless

+5The people who are getting the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff and giving them free stuff in the first place. We have let the free stuff giving to go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff then paying for free stuff. Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide. Some where between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing them. The people getting free stuff out number the people paying for free stuff,
