For just a moment, if we can spare one, I'd like to share my thoughts on greed.
Greed is a hot topic for many people now a days if for no other reason than the soon to be GOP nominee for President is a wealthy man.
Admittedly now a tax payer! (There had been some speculation that he hadn't been, but Harry Reid smoked him out.)
Some may never mind that the Treasury Secretary had tax issues, or lack there of, and so did the much ballyhooed oracle of Omaha, and eponymous tax rule proponent, Warren Buffet.
Let's be frank, we are all greedy. To those quick to pin that on Romney, as though you've made some profanely and insightful commentary, one question please. Did you find such an insidious trait in John Kerry?
But its not about wealth then, now is it? Its really about party politics, and I can spend more than a minute on that, but I want to point out the greed.
I believe its an even more diabolical greed that dwells in the beings of those that don't dwell on the concept that if the government is spending more than its taking in, that's greed too.
I believe that when we have to borrow trillions of dollars, on a yearly basis, that has to be paid back tomorrow, that's greed. That's out sourcing our future to the Chinese(mostly.)
I believe that when we vote, and we don't pay mind to leaving our children with our debt, we are greedy.
Now Romney may or may not be greedy, any more so than the rest of us. I don't know. But I do know that he has asked the lead player inside the beltway with any credence on reducing the debt and deficit to join him in making a case to run this country.
Obama, who may or may not be as greedy as Romney, had a chance to live by his promises, too many to produce, too few fulfilled, but reducing the deficit being one and he failed. Miserably.
So do we point out the greed in others only and damn the wealthier candidate, unlike in 2004 when the wealthier candidate was John Kerry?
Or maybe lets think about what kind of greed is more detrimental for all of us?
I know this, Romney may have more wealth than many of us, but his efforts to amass that wealth far surpass the efforts many are taking in their own lives and his taxes paid are doing more for the balance of payments on our greed than many of us commit to, even when its our children that will bear most of the burdens that Barrack Obama and his lot has cast upon us.
