The average "citizen" of most countries would love the lifestyle and opportunities of America's "Poor."

A Chinese friend told me that we do not have poor in America, but we have takers. I was stunned by the observation. Of all places in the US this person (MD) moved to North Dakota. I told her there is only two seasons there, July and winter. She laughed but said she liked the people. A very long story, but very revealing.

I like that. It also has deeper aspects to it then the obvious.

We need Takerholics Anonymous

My name is poorer then dirt and I am a takeaholic.
The more I take the more I want. I am never sastified.
I am caged in by the givers who steal stuff from honest hard working productive members of the society.

If the givers would stop stealing from its subjects and allowing other more special subjects to take the stolen stuff, I could break free from my chains.
