Most Americans are not rich or even well off. No wealthy person in the world has made it on his/her own. Very few in the middle class really mind a society with a few super wealthy people. After all we all have different priorities. While some measure their worth by the amount of capital they […]

We must all express our most sincere condolences to those that were killed in Aurora Colorado. For most of us with young children that enjoy going to these events, the killings strike close to home.
