Where's the Money Tree?

Where's the money tree? Those who are honest with themselves realize the truth - there is none.

It wouldn't be such a bad idea for those who won (re)election yesterday to start their upcoming term reading "Financial Peace" (Dave Ramsey) and make attacking the government debt snowball (federal, state, local) their foremost priority before proposing so many new programs that rely on said "money tree".

And yes, many of Mitt's famous 47% believe in the money tree - and that "the tree" consists of those individuals who have pursued the American Dream and have built more wealth. More reading recommendations - read any of Stephen Covey's "7 Habits". Let's keep it simple: Beware the pursuit of GOLDEN EGGS without considering THE GOOSE.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different outcome. The United States will never be the well-respected country we like to think we are until we respect where the money comes from.
