I have a crazy idea. What if we as human beings only need so much "wealth", and after a certain amount of wealth, money isn't the most important aspect in our lives.
I think many of us are living that way. I realize that I could make a little more money if I'd play political games at work. In my case, the benefit would be pretty small because I'm too honest to be good at those games, but stupid, superficial efforts could put a little more money in my paycheck. I don't take that path because I think my integrity is more important than that increase in salary. I also try to do what's right for the company as a whole and not just what will give me a marginally higher salary.
The other side of the coin is that I'm still worried about future layoffs and someday having to live on savings for a long time while I search for a new job. I'm in a very technical, very small field. Jobs are few and far between. I try to save and accumulate because I need something for security.

Isn't that Hitlery's plan..to take from the haves and give to the have nots? That's what she said she wanted to do....remember? Politicos say what they mean. We just have to listen more closely.
