How's the weather in Austin?

Rained twice, so now it's hot and humid.

Some will give to ....
I aplaud giving to children and charities. It's just that is not where that wealth came from. Wealth comes from the opportunities provided by the political and economic system which is centered in the government and establishment of the country. You can't just work hard for wealth, a lot of other people work hard and a portion of the wealth they create or money they spend flows to the person with the idea or the control. They, collectively, deserve some of that back. It the height of fairness to let the wealthy use it for as long as they can, and give up a portion after they are gone.
