I keep reading about people being overly concerned and troubled about tax cuts for the wealthy and now the “death tax” or estate tax seems to be causing sleepless nights. Unless you forgot, this is America – land of opportunity! People came here and are still coming here to enhance their livelihood and yes, some folks become wealthy.

I am not wealthy yet I don’t mind if others are. They increased themselves with edu-cation and opportunity. They used their God-given minds and creativity.

They reap the harvest of sound investments. They never saw nor placed limitations on their being American. If you or I are still trudging along looking for a 50-cent raise someplace then perhaps we didn’t catch the train while it was stopped at the station.

So quit harping about tax cuts for the rich.
