Manning,

Quote:

the other day i was talking to
a wealthy person i met by chance.
a strident capitalist. who believed in...
"the market..may the best man/woman win and tough luck on the losers".
till i politely pointed out ...
"what if it was your great grand child in the future that needed
a leg up or help or whatever ??". this made him think.
he had no answer. particularly at the prospect that in
the future a member of a future generation in his family might have to go
"on the game" cos they were in dire straits.
often wealthy people can only relate in this fashion.




Do you give us your word of honor that this is a true story? It sounds like something out of Oliver Twist!

"May I have some more please?"

LOL. I'm not a "wealthy" person. I'm unemployed. I don't have any health insurance. I do need it. But do I expect the government to step up and take care of it? No.

I expect, and hope, to find a job so I can provide for my family. I really hope I don't find myself "on the game", because if I do, I'll probably starve to death! LOL.
