79.999999999

                                                                             79.999999999
             
                                        Some things just don't come along
                                        too often. Take, for instance, the
                                        the last few moments just prior to
                                        my beginning my eighth decade of
                                        life  on this earth.

                                        I do not have the time or the inclination
                                        to write an exhaustive autobiography
                                        of my life or to write a coprehesive
                                        summary of my philosophy of life.

 
                                        However, I have gathered a few beliefs

                                        over the course of the past eighty years:

                                        First, thanks to our Constitution containing
                                        the Bill of Rights, American is the greatest 
                                        country in the world when it comes to
                                        providing the basic rights, freedoms and 
                                        liberties that all countries should enjoy.
                                     
                                        Our founding fathers championed 
                                        individualism and abhorred a large
                                        federal government. There were no
                                        permanent federal taxes until the 
                                        1930s. 

                                        Since the 1930s, there has been a
                                        concerted effort to turn our country
                                        into a socialistic state. Sixty million
                                        "deployables" understood this and
                                        thus we had the results of the 2016
                                        Presidential election. 
                                        
                                        I would encourage anyone to make,
                                        through honest means, as much
                                        money as he or she wants to make.
                                        Yes, you may become highly immoral
                                        if you become filthy rich. But, there are
                                        just as many immoral poor and 
                                        and middle class folks as there are
                                        rich ones.
                                        
                                        Most Americans understand a family
                                        is better off with a good income as to
                                        a meager one or with no income at all.
                                        Because our entrepreneurial system
                                        allows so many "to get ahead," or become
                                        as rich as a person may earn, this causes
                                        the millions of us to work 40 to 60 hours 
                                        a week, so as to purchase a comfortable
                                        home, usually on a mortgage, unfortunately,
                                        or modern car, and sufficient food or clothing
                                        and then any other item we might deem
                                        as a luxury. Along the way, if some of us
                                        become millionaires or billionaires, that's                                                              okay, too.
                                       
                                        It's always better to have your money in
                                        your pockets than in some politician's
                                        pockets.

                                        (I started this article on June 09, but did not 
                                        to finish it until now, 4:52 pm Sunday the 10th.
                                        Way past the 79.999999999. I'm beginning to
                                        feel older already.)
