When this country was founded, people came here to do things they couldn't do elsewhere. We often hear people say that others immigrate here to live the "American dream." Isn't that being wealthy? We all want the same things, and those who are on the other side of the rope are the ones who complain the most. If you were dirt poor, you would want the government to help you out. At the same time, if you have worked your way up in life and have amassed a fortune, you don't want anyone to take the money from you.<br /><br />A the end of the day, this country wasn't set up for there to be such a large gap between the wealthy and the poor, so someone has to give and whomever that is will have much to say abot it.Jacinta Tatmannoreply@blogger.com
