How to feel spiritually rich.

I want the very, very rich to bail us out. Yes, to do what’s best for the nation. For the common good. If anybody can afford a hefty tax increase, it’s the very, very rich. Millionaires. And billionaires. Better for the ‘haves’ to save our nation’s economy. Rather than the ‘have-nots.’ There shouldn’t be any question, any hesitation about that. Because even if the millionaires and billionaires bail us out, they’ll still be millionaires and billionaires. It isn’t like we’re asking for the supreme sacrifice. Their very lives. Or even all of their money. Just a fraction of it. Think about it. They thrived in the United States of America. They’ve made fortunes. Under the American capitalist system. Now they owe it to the nation. To give something back. I just don’t fully understand why so many rich people feel they have to be so miserly. They should be more appreciative of the opportunities they’ve had in this blessed nation. To become obscenely rich. Monetarily speaking. Of course, if they give some of the money back to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, they’ll also feel spiritually rich. Better able to find reward in the Kingdom of Heaven. Or so I’m told by that fella that many of ‘em profess to worship. –Jim Broede
