Need, Greed, and Compassion

The following is attributed to columnist Joseph Sobran. While I normally reserve this blog for my own thoughts, this was too poignant to not share.

"Today, wanting someone else's money is called 'need.' Wanting to keep your own money is called 'greed.' 'Compassion' is the sentiment of the politicians who arrange the transfer."

About Me

I am a typical 40-something American. I am a husband and a father. And like many of you I work hard to try to improve my life and the lives of my children. I don't want much from anyone or from my government - I just want to be left alone to go about my business and leave my little footprint on the world. I have grown very concerned about the direction our country is headed and firmly believe we have collectively lost sight of the basic principles that gave rise to our great nation. For awhile now I have been feeling more and more compelled to find a way to voice my concerns about this and share them with others - and that is the reason for this blog. I live near and work in New York City, by way of Texas, where I spent the majority of my formative years. I have an undergraduate degree in Economics and a Masters in Business Administration. My wife and I have three children, a dog, and a cat to keep us busy. I hope you enjoy what I have to say!
