For most people that take Iggy's opinion on this I'd agree with you on your opinion. I
don't believe Iggy is envious of anyone.

Personally, he may not be. Personally, he may be as honest as the
summer days is long. But that does not change the fact that the
values he espouses are not honest, and are rooted in envy. If the
government is entitled to a "fair" share of your money, who decides
what is "fair"? We're from the Government, and we're here to help
you.

Iggy belives in charity, something I belive in also. I also know of many that have feed
off the system and have been nothing but useless eaters.

Sometimes it is hard to decern the motivation of the two groups. He may or may not have a
better belief in our government and its efficency. I have a poor opinon.

Generally, your observation is correct. I've watched enough Cspan Washington Journal to
pick up the pattern, first the call in avocates for some program, then mentions how they
were wronged. Some of the callers are pathetic. I hear a lot of envy on that program
from our fellow citizens and likely some illegals.


Do people really believe that other people are better able to
direct "your" life than you are? Apparently. Apparently, they forgot
about back to school shopping with their mother.

I belive in liberty, that means making my own mistakes and as long as I don't harm you,
then what is the problem.

I put it this way, "Are you competent to make your own decisions?
If so, are others also competent to make their own decisions?" And if
they aren't, is it my responsibility, aside from Morally. (We are our
brother's keeper, but that is before God, not Uncle Sam.)
