Taxes

I received an email - an email that tells a story of a bunch of men going to a bar on a regular basis and how much they pay for their drinks based on the American system of taxation. The gist is that the rich pay for everything, then when they get a tax break, we think it is unfair. The moral is that if we do not stop taxing the rich, then they will take their business to a foreign country and really hurt the poor.

I have thought about this for several days, and when it pops into my mind I feel sadness. The saddest thing to me is the focus we tend to put on what we do not have or may lose. This focus on scarcity brings fear and division... a vying for morsels.

I have hope that we can turn the focus to what we have and how we can be of service... one person, one day at a time. Yes we can.
