But we don't. We are tied to money. This enables our handlers to control us. Everyone should think what would happen if money were useless and Government checks all bounced. If this is too terrible to imagine, we are all in dire straits because it is just around the corner. Both individually and as a Government, we have spent and borrowed everything we can. In this instance, you must consider what is really valuable. In my mind, there are two things: What knowledge you have in your mind that is useful to others, and The network of people you have developed through your good works. This is the most important reason that it is a blessing to give. Yes, it makes you feel good and it helps keep our society together. But, most importantly, it sets you up to be wealthy in what really matters after money is gone. Free from money is truly free, but not if you are addicted to free money. Just something to think about. Anyone who is a true Christain will get this. If you do not get it, you may want to do some more reading. It may be especially scary to people who listen to some of our "leaders" who advocate the Government free ride. If you are on this ride, beware. Your "leaders" may actually be your "masters".

"Large inefficient bureaucracies." Dept of Education, Dept of Agriculture, Dept of Homeland Security, BATFE, Dept of Energy. That's probably hundreds of billions of dollars with no return whatsoever. Yes, "people who give are happier", but after all local, state, and federal taxes plus a reasonable lifestyle, there isn't a lot left over for giving. The FEMA fiasco is just the tip of the iceburg. And it's still going on! Bob,

The FEMA fiasco is just the tip of the iceburg. And it’s still going on!
