It would be NICE if the rich felt that way- but they don't, which is why we should have nice fat taxes. Then they can have their weddings, and we can have 35 % of their cash to help the poor.

Isn't that nice?

But we do have to do something about the stupid things our government does- like Iraq, and Afghanistan....

I do not favor just giving cash to the poor. I want to see job retraining, and life skills classes for the folks who are so low functioning they don't know how to act appropriately on the job. I would like to see some serious movement towards teaching kids trades in high school, if they are not interested in college. I would like to see us give kids really good skills in machining, carpentry, masonry, and other great trades. Now that would be a fantastic use of our tax dollars.
