metro entrance, would probably have loved to be in "a similar" predicament. Unfortunately after years of destitution, there's no family to fight over the crumbs (thousands of dollars) anyway.

Please remember fellow Christians that after a certain level of stability (solid middle class), hording ones money is a mortal sin? Too bizarre that the wealthy Christians (both Democratic and Republican) never can quite "get it!"

Look at the people who RUN our country? They all have in common ONE very ugly personal flaw: Greed.

I thank God every day that I was born into a middle class family. I am so blessed ... I need to give more to those who have little. I'm looking into assisting with the outreach program through the Franciscan Sisters in my parish.

Anyone of middle class can "feel so complete" by donating just one day a week or month to help those who are poor and disenfranchised.

Perhaps I'm just goofy, but, to me, it does feel better to give rather than receive.

America has sadly turned into a country of POWER and every increasing individual and corporate GREED. It's just plain ugly - the values we are passing on to our children.
