America's wealth comes from the efforts of people striving for success. Take away their incentive with badmouthing success and you take away the wealth that helps us take care of the needy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Remember, America's greatness is based on creating wealth like the rest of the world has never known, and then, making sure it's shared throughout a middle class and even the underprivileged.
Most people believe, mistakenly, that wealth in a human society has something to do with money, but that's not true. Money is simply a medium of exchange. Prosperity in a human society is the accumulation of solutions to human problems that we create for ourselves.
Wealth is the progressive realization of worthy goals, the ability to love and have compassion, meaningful and caring relationships.
The only thing wealth does for some people is to make them worry about losing it.
The United States prides itself on being the richest country in the world. Yet we can't balance the budget, pay for education, or take care of the aged and infirm.
The reason that a good citizen does not use such destructive means to become wealthier is that, if everyone did so, we would all become poorer from the mutual destructiveness.
Wealth is the ultimate panacea to poverty.
Our main task is not to see that people of great wealth add to it, but that those without much money have a greater chance to earn some.
The key to wealth is not what we earn. It is in what is spent on us.
To me, wealth is the peace of mind you have, your family, your friends, your colleagues. Everything else is just money, and it really is funny how people pay so much attention to that.
