It isn’t that we wouldn’t like to live better but the rich won’t let us. We work for their companies but they don’t share their profits with us like they did years ago. The rich want to have the best of everything and want us to be their servants. So until we can change that and make the rich pay their fair share we will never get to the life we deserve.

Having recently returned from a Dutch vacation I can agree that life seems better compared to how we live it.

Visiting an “Oude Kerk” I was asked where I was from and I said “Canada”. The person replied “Oh, one of my favorite countries!” I then ‘fessed up and said “really I’m from the USA but some folks back home suggested we pretend otherwise.” The person said “You should say you are American. I believe in God. Things will all work out. Have faith.”

I was very moved by the sympathy and by the encouragement.
