My socialist leanings.

I try to fight the urge to always want more.  In terms of material stuff. More possessions. More money. After all, I have enough. Of nearly everything. Including the basics of life. I tell myself. Be thankful. Be happy. With the status quo. Of course, I was brought up. With the notion. That nobody should ever be satisfied. They need to continually better themselves. Especially if they want to be safe and secure. That's supposed to be the American way. Accumulate. Accumulate. Accumulate. Most capitalists seem to believe there's no such thing as being too monetarily rich. Well, I disagree. One can have too much money. Far more than one really needs. Better to spread and share the wealth And not live extravagantly. Little wonder. That I have socialist leanings. --Jim Broede
