Thanks. I don't think there is anything wrong with being wealthy of starting a new country to keep the wealth that you created from hard work. Having the ability to work hard and gain wealth and success as you have is the best part of what makes this country great. The kooks on the far left haven't a clue that one should have to work hard to get somewhere. "Free Everything" eliminates the desire and need to work hard and push for progress from most of us "humans" but there are probably a few cases of people who will make large sacrifices and expect nothing in return. My guess is the last one to walk this Earth was crucified.... but maybe there was another. Obama had his faults, just like Trump has his faults, but the thing I really liked about Obama is he believed if someone put in an honest effort to work hard then they should have health care, a modest retirement and equal opportunity to better themselves if they wanted. The kooks on the far right seem intent on not allowing these basic to things, for lack of a better pithy phrase, those who follow "THEIR RULES" be it who to love, who to worship, or what to believe. They don't seem capable of understanding that their very valid beliefs in the right to life doesn't mean others must believe the same and are evil people for having a different opinion about life. Now if you try to explain to me how an animal rights vegan can be pro choice where a fertilized Eagle Egg has more rights than a fertilized human egg, that makes my head explode! Logic is lacking on both ends of the spectrum. England sure didn't like anyone not of proper "breeding" gaining wealth from merit rather than station which is a big reason they lost their Empire, IMHO. From the slaves point of view, they probably didn't care if their masters saluted a British or new American flag... much as Mohammad Ali didn't care why the rich white folk wanted to go to war with yellow people in Vietnam who never called him the "N word." Wars are often fought to protect the wealth of those in power and the grunts are just grunts. Anyway, thanks again and stay safe my friend!
