Ted, > Just like you think all cars have become more luxurious, you don't realize that there are many millions in this country who don't live like you.

Yes I do.

Here's the real truth. Being "rich" or "poor" is more of a state of mind than anything else. I've seen people poorer than myself who feel like the richest people in the world. And I've seen people with huge incomes spend and spend and spend, only to end up deep in debt and poverty.

What I don't understand is why anyone thinks society owes them anything. I still won't forget that employee of Wal-mart in Maryland who wants to force her employer to pay for her health care. If I were her, I'd quit my job and go work for a company that provides better benefits, such as the local grocery store, Giant Food.

You can claim that's easy for me to believe, since I happen to work in a well-paying job that I love. Which might be true, but that's still no excuse to demand more out of me or pretend that I have to be just as "liberal" as you are in order to be empathetic, generous, and grateful for my circumstances.
