Yeah.

Greed baby.

I want what you have. Along with what I have. If you have something I want…..I want it. If you have something that you didn’t have to work for, and I have to work for mine….I want it.

You are thin. I am fat. Why can’t I be like you? Irrational thought, to be sure….I could be as thin as I want to be. And that is actually the truth of it. I can be any size I want to be. As long as I am willing to do the work to do it. Being jealous of you is just stupid. A waste of your and my time.

You eat steak for dinner whenever you want. I don’t.

You make more money than I do. You have a better job. You dress better. On, and on, and on.

Greed dude. It is a poison that kills from the inside out. Turns people who kiss their children as they tuck them into bed at night into people who want to tell others what they can and cannot buy. Oh wait. Not just everyone. Just the ones who are receiving assistance.

There is the crux of it. A person pays their taxes. They have a job that they might like, or not. They live within a budget. That gives them the right to tell the people who receive assistance how to spend the money that they receive.

Because anyone can get a job, now can’t they? There are plenty of jobs out there that people can work at to support themselves. Heck. Companies are just falling all over themselves to hire people and pay them enough money so that they can live just like you and I do.

Oh wait. You seem to have a nicer car than I do.

I want it.
