: The most vocal and very serious obstructionists to national renewal are those who see the survival of their own self-interest inextricably threatened by linking to the interests of others.

Precisely. I am amazed by all this nonsense about re-distribution of wealth, a buzzword that is used to appeal to the baser, selfish interests of the people who in reality would benefit most by taxing the wealthiest people and corporations in order to provide services for all of us. The wealthiest 5%, who have benefited the most from all that this country has to offer, would, it seems to me, want to further this country's well-being, not only out of generosity but for their own furtherance of wealth and prosperity. Is there a point where a person can have too much? I have to say that I admire someone like Bill Gates who by all standards reached that point of material wealth. Whatever you might think of Microsoft, he continues to be generous with his personal billions.
