My long and short answer is yes. I would be willing to give up perks if it meant that money would actually go for effort to help others. In a heartbeat I would pare down to bare minimum. I'm trying to do that now. In a few weeks I am having a free yard sale! Everything free, donations for stuff accepted, but everything free. I could donate it to the Salvation Army which will mark it up way expensive and resell it in their not so thrifty any more stores!
We have a lot of very poor Latino's in this part of Texas. They are usually the first ones at the yard sales in the morning so when they see my FREE yard sale signs I hope they come and take it all.
If Barrack Obama said we'd switch to a socialized nation, I'd support it in ten seconds flat. We can't even do so much as have a flat tax scenario here!
Me too, rant starting so best not to say more and I pray I didn't already offend anyone. These are just my opinions and I am not in judgment of anyone here who disagrees. We all have our place in life and I totally respect that.
