Great column. Sadly, the politics of envy are alive and well and living in Washington. It seems so much easier to grab someone else's bone than earn your own. What a way to miss the whole point of your life!

I think you've just proven my point....sigh...

We are reactionary mice and you are "honest patriots"....sigh... That's your premise. And it is exactly why we are upset. You don't acknowledge anyone else's point of view. You are a discontented, unhappy person who uses this forum to spout bullying diatribes. No one will ever respect your perspective, because you don't understand respect must be a two way street.

I work with elderly and disabled adults. I find the old analogy of the glass half empty/full applies to most people. Those who are not happy are always searching for reasons to blame some one or some thing for their discontent. Those who are happy are usually simpler and sweeter people.
