...on becoming rich in spirit.

Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a society that did not worship the almighty dollar? I want a society that provides for the basic needs of everyone. So that one doesn't have to be rich to survive. I want universal health care. That’s a basic need, a basic right. That should be the role of government. To provide affordable health care. For everyone. And if that means higher taxes for corporations and for the rich, so be it. Let’s spread the wealth so that every citizen is guaranteed the basics of life. That includes health care and education. If we had the basics, we wouldn’t have a need to be rich in monetary terms. Instead, we could focus on becoming rich in spirit. --Jim Broede
