You have hit the nail on the head.

What...@Rich, I don't even understand your post. What happened to Bob's family, from the beginning? Where'd he go? <br />And what does murdering someone even have to do with a family who's lost it's job, and home? Next time you post rhetoric, have it make sense.Trixie Bang Banghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02913792856690555654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492965056493107893.post-74559697669692068732011-08-12T09:57:22.738-04:002011-08-12T09:57:22.738-04:00I would like to pose a question to you. Two famil...I would like to pose a question to you. Two families: Family number one is a hard working husband, lets call him Bob, with a stay at home wife and two children. Family number two is a dysfunctional married family also with two children but the wife is a drug addict and alcoholic.<br /><br />The male, lets call him Dan, figure in family number two has never held a steady job; he was a school dropout and troublemaker. Not an unfamiliar male figure in our urban settings.<br /><br />Dan hates his life so he makes the bad decision on how to change it. Taking to the streets he spies Bill coming home from work. Aha, a mark.<br /><br />Dan accosts Bill and demands his money and watch. Bill refuses so Dan pulls out a knife and kills Bill. Of course Dan is caught and prosecuted and sent to jail.<br /><br />Which of these two families will receive more of our taxpayer money? Bills family, the victims or Dans family also victims but of a different nature?<br /><br />Both families are victims. Bills family is the victim of a murderer and Dan’s family was the victim of a liberal society that allowed this behavior to continue.<br /><br />Many hard working members of our society are now saying enough is enough. The left says it is unfair for so few to have so much and the right says it is unfair that they have to pay other peoples bills.<br /><br />There is no law against sending the government more than the required tax. So I would suggest that all your readers that agree with your stance on this send to our governments, Federal, State and local, all their excess money.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731289733832194098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492965056493107893.post-42478164603749528212011-08-11T23:48:48.586-04:002011-08-11T23:48:48.586-04:00I give your post a "like."

We are becoming a compassionless society, and we fail to realize that we are all just one missed step away from being that person we so blithely discount. <br /><br />I found your blog somehow, I don't even know, and have been checking back hoping for something good to come to you and your family, because your story is the story behind the empty house. <br /><br />I am fortunate (today) to have a decent job. I am not so high on my horse to be smug, because I have a job at the whim of a corporation. It could change tomorrow. <br /><br />Have you read the book "Return to Love?" It has some really good parts, primarily, there are two places we act from: Love and Fear. If we acted from a place of love, we would always always be the better for it. <br /><br />I wish there was something I could do for you, but know that even though I don't know you at all, I check your story and hope for good things.Trixie Bang Banghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02913792856690555654noreply@blogger.com
