If there is any doubt in anyone’s mind that this world is changing than I am sad to see you live under a rock!
Our entire make up as a society is no longer looking out for each other. It has turned into a self preservationist approach to community. Politicians are leading the way with a “what is in it for me mentality” instead of what do my constituents want or “what is best for the overall community”. The very thought of a reality star running for President should tell us a lot about the direction our world is going.

Now I am not saying all this to depress us but to wake us up and realize that if the ship goes down we all go down. It is not how much or little you have it will be everyone. Sharing in a community use to mean just that… sharing. Now it has turned into gathering. I can gather as much away from the lower to middle class and live in my big house and go on my big vacations! Really… can’t you do that with the millions and billions you already have?
I think many (not all) of the richer 1% would agree that they can afford more luxuries than the average American. They can afford to eat, have proper housing and education. As a matter of fact if they were taxed 10%, 20% or even 30% higher their standard of living would not drastically change. We have a disproportionate amount of wealth building with a small % of the population while an entire slew of people are wondering if they can pay the rent or put food on the table.
I think people who work hard should be able to play hard. But I also think there is nothing wrong with sharing and seeing if you can give back and maybe let someone else play with you! After all we learned that in kindergarten!
