Winning in life is not about having more money.

To me it is not about winning but where my voice carries as much weight as any one else.
To have a system that is good for the most is better. To have that is what we deserve. It is not something we win.
Be cause some one has more dollars than me should not mean his voice on issues that pertain to all of us is stronger.
I do feel that my voice & your voice should be based on the basis of logic & reason. A system that we ALL can enjoy & be an important part of.
To rate ones success on how many dollars they have is not a sign of true success.
It is the over all improvement & standard of living that is available for all who live on this earth.
What is need is for each of us at some time say I have enough.
It is like saying I have what I feel is enough to live a good life & having more don't add much to the quality of my life.
The quality of each of our life's is intertwined with the quality of life of all others.

Have been poor and well off, it's easier well off but doesn't make my opinion any stronger. Success is more about family and doing for others after you take care of yourself. Health is number one, without it you have nothing!

I am with you. Life is so much easier if you have a little money left over at the end of the day.
It is all so a fact the little cushion we have is not overly protective.
That wolf may not be knocking on our door but you can be sure he is not to far away waiting.
We must believe that the well being of others is an important part of our we being.
Family & friends are at the core of what life is about.

I feel that most people are reasonably righteous & honest,
I would even extend that to members of government.
I feel that I am as righteous & as honest as most.
I will flatly say to you that I don't believe for one minute that I
would do any better than what is being done in government than most.
It isn't the man on the street that one in government needs to please. It is the people that have the money that you need to please or you have no power do do any thing.
As more & more of us see just the way things are being done & we see the problems & answers to the problems we may find away to fix them.

Samuel Adams said" If I want to help someone there should be nothing that could keep we from helping but if I don't want to help there should be nothing to make me to help."

I see nothing wrong with that statement.
Put it down to nit-picking: It is like the way it was said something was left out.
But I feel that is not a good stand alone statement.
I feel it needs to have: "I am free to choose when & if I am going to help"
We need to interact with others in many different ways.
We do interact with others much of the time.
We can choose to help or not but we can't avoid being involved with others.

I have always felt, I do better when we all do better. Money has never impressed me due to the fact most great fortunes were built on criminal activity. Don't get me wrong, I like my creature comforts but not at the expensive of others not even having the basics.
In a large part this country owes its' love of money to Madison Ave. It is not enough to be comfortable, you must have the latest thing. In the end your things end up owning you. You end up spending vast amounts of money maintaining your things and acquiring things you simply do not need. We are to easily lead.
My child and grandchildren taught me a valuable lesson. On holidays we do not give gifts we pool our money and rent an apartment for a homeless family for a year. Since we began this all the families we have helped have become employed and now have a sense of pride in themselves. Some have gone on to help other families.
