Well said Dennis. Adversity can be the greatest teacher if we let it and not curl up and whine about how life ain't fair!
for all who believe communism or socialism is the best form of government, show me a country with those forms of govt that has reached the heights this country has. profit isn't a dirty word. helping your neighbor isn't wrong. taking my money to help your neighbor get something they haven't earn is. if as a child you didn't listen to your parents about getting a good education, it isn't society's fault that you went straight to work before learning how not to work and make good money. why is it wrong for me to work 80 hour weeks and give somethings up as a young adult so i can sit back at 40/50 and up and enjoy my life with nice toys and spending cash from my efforts, where someone else enjoyed the hi-life and spent their money. do i owe it to them at a later time in their life because they were the grasshopper and i was the ant.
OH PLEASE Barbara, come up with a relevant analogy.
I'll not even commentn on therest with an opener like that, because that's ridiculous, and you have no idea what you speak of, or wht I may have been through.

@Brian....if there was a Cholera outbreak, in your neighborhood,
would you tell those who were affected, to get treatment "on their own dime" or would you want the outbreak stopped, however much it cost the
community? That comment about re-training, for workers who are displaced, show a selfish streak on your part, and that's okay....it's easy, when you have not been touched by "change" to make that kind of comment, but if you were one who was affected, you would be screaming loudest, for help. I have not been "displaced" and don't need re-training, but I have enough compassion for those who have been affected, to realize it is all about everyone working together, for the good of EVERYONE, and I don't mind giving my neighbor a hand UP, when I see that insane greed permeates our culture. Businesses ARE in business for profit, but that profit (blessing) should also be used for "good" as well as destruction of those who have not had the opportunities to do the same thing. Americans are NOT lazy people, some have had better opportunities than others, but as a whole, we are ambitious, brilliant, and compassionate. Have a nice Sunday.

I am quite certain the Founding Fathers were concerned with intrusive controlling government, far more than we have here today, hence the Declaration of Independence. Remember state religion and taxation without representation? We still do not have that here unless you live in DC. Anyway, Best Wishes to all the biz jet owners and I pray they are able to survive this torrid attack on their livelihood that no other US citizens are being subjected to. :-)
We've always been on the same team, we just have differing views of the management. Progressive, liberal, right, left, all the labels are simply that labels, mere semantics. I'm not sure the founders envisioned anything like the kind of all intrusive, all controlling central federal government that we have today (in fact I'm sure of it). That's why we are called the "United - States", and not simply the "Repulic of America" or some such. A quick review of the Federalist Papers and the 10th Ammendment, should give at least a hint of that notion.
