There’s a lot of judgement in your post that implies you know what Tony should or shouldn’t have done financially in his final years. He had some major setbacks, such as the fire that destroyed his home and all his possessions a few years ago. At that time his comments were not “poor me” he just stated how very glad he was that his beloved family was healthy, and they would go on. Cancer costs can skyrocket even with insurance when you are trying to fight it aggressively.
No one had demanded you make a contribution. You are more than welcome to decline. However, your snarky remarks are not necessary under the circumstances.
Yeah, I know! My wife of 38 years died from cancer about 4 years ago after an 11 month battle. And yes, it is very expensive even if one has insurance to cover some of the costs. I am not trying to be the least bit snarky - just pragmatic. We all have our lives to live. He had his, I have mine and my family to worry about just as I hope he worried about his. If he did not adequately take care of the responsibilities he felt, I'm sorry. If Rush is concerned about Tony's kids, great. I'm sure Rush will do whatever makes him feel better regarding this issue just a many Freepers will do.
Will I donate to Tony's kids future, no. I will, however add an extra bit to my own grandkids future in Tony's name. I really think Tony would be very happy with this attitude.
