We point out that McCain is wealthy, but really that is no the issue, it is how he handles the wealth and his views on the issues that matter to me like abortion and foreign policy that I have a problem with.joshhill1021https://www.blogger.com/profile/00262725763812594725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912576428113148491.post-5002423616522326702008-09-24T12:11:00.000-05:002008-09-24T12:11:00.000-05:00As others have said, wealth is not the problem.

It's tempting to paint all of the rich with a broad brush, but there are many wealthy people who do use their resources responsibly.<BR/><BR/>It's an oversimplification to use money as some qualifying factor. In reality, morality, honesty, and humility are the traits in short supply in many Americans. And I wish we find a way to encourage this kind of behavior because a lack of them has contributed to where we are right now.Comrade Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393718048145784837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912576428113148491.post-91622370509697101032008-09-23T20:04:00.000-05:002008-09-23T20:04:00.000-05:00Your point, My Friend (...shit, now I can't even s...Your point, My Friend (...shit, now I can't even say that without visualizing Old What's-His-Face...) is well taken.<BR/><BR/>I'm not so interested, though, in thinking of a President or Pol as "being like me" as I am in thinking that he's "caring about me."<BR/><BR/>There are ultra rich people (think Bill Gates or George Soros)who do good things with their money, and I refuse to hate them for their success.<BR/><BR/>But then there are the greedy scum who suck the blood out of working people to buy their Island Retreats.
