I have decided I will try posting a picture every day on here and say something about it. This is the backyard where I live. It is a little wet here today and since it is just hanging here at the aprt. The little fence thing you see is there so I can open my door and not let my dog run wild. I do live in town so have some rules I have to live by with my dog.

How do you make greed end?

I ,like many other Americans, am now wondering what the future holds for me financially. I think to many people are ignoring the main cause of the financial diaster. It isn't that regulations or laws being repelled were the main cause as everyone seems to want us to believe. It is that simple thing called greed. I would love to make more money then I do right now but I am not going to try to cheat, steal or lie to get it. Is my greed under control? I like to believe it is now but 15 or 20 years ago I doubt it was. 
      I believe the answer is to make greed what it is. Greed in my opinion is another of those human actions that can be controlled and has to be controlled. I know we all for the most part believe we would love to rich beyond our dreams but whem I talk to most people who have retired it seems different. They like most people want to remain active not because they are set with enough money but because they can't remain idle. I believe to end greed as it is now anything considered a luxury should be heavily taxed. That includes large salaries and benefits. What I would like is a list of items readers would consider luxury items.
   Some of the examples I go with are automobiles valued at over 25,000 or so. Homes larger then around 1500-1800 sqaure feet. Any type of designer clothes or jewelry. Now I know some people will say they need a bigger home because of a big family and I agree but for the average family that is a good size home. The car thing would also have some play since many businesses need special types of vehicles.

I wish I could make what I write.

I really wish I could put words down as good as they seem to sound in my head. I also have the same problem when I try putting into words what I want to say on select subjects. When doing either I will usually forget a few key points I am wanting to make and when these are pointed out it seems I am trying to BS my way out of a hole. It would be helpful when talking about a subject to have notes handy but with most of my friendly talks I never know what subjects will come up. Now when I am expecting to be discussing a subject it is easy to have a few notes and even go over what I plan to say beforehand. I know when I am thinking about it most of what i work on comes out ok until I try saying or writing it. So if anyone has some good points for this without actually attending classes for it, not enough money for that, please say in comments.
