It's always refreshing to hear from people who never travel on the interstate highway system and live 'off of the grid'. Beware of USDA inspected food! View Comment

Sometimes wealth is not that difficult to achieve, especially if you choose your ancestors carefully. The issue is to think carefully about where you want your tax dollars to go.
How much do we spend in Iraq and Afghanistan/day?
Military outsourced companies like Halliburton pay it's security personnel $1000/day. We basically pay mercenaries more than we pay teachers and nurses. Don't you find that devalues "all the hard work and conscientious life choices that went into financial success"? Tax $$$$ for a mercenary army? And many of these mercenaries aren't even American. Do you want your money outsourced to countries that don't want our presence, or do you want to build a better America? View Comment

You don't have to be a 99%er to work for justice. I applaud what Stangler is doing. View Comment
