It does seem these days that the rich have more and more money. But there's tons of stories of welfare receivers wasting money on smokes, alcohol whatever etc. There needs to be more responsibility from the poor the rich and in between. Being responsible means working but wages should keep up with the cost of living to.

I totally agree people these days are so judgmental with each other which often lead to meanness. Maybe if everyone was nicer there would be less shootings, road rage, racism, other stuff like that.

True. But given the times, we're supposed to have evolved. In some ways we seem to be regressing.

I agree. I'm not perfect, but I certainly try to treat others as I would like to be treated.
