Adopt A Job Creator Asks You To Give A Little To Those Who Have A Lot (VIDEO)

"A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its wealthiest members."
--probably Gandhi

There's a disturbing sentiment that has been steadily infiltrating mainstream thinking over the last few years, namely, that in times of economic hardship, those who have more, can occasionally, briefly, almost imperceptibly do with slightly less.

Proponents of this cataclysmic way of thinking are super-communists, secular-humanist Burning-Man attendees, and Jane Fonda.

Fortunately, for the rational among us, sketch group Funkanomics -- the same folks who realized that Bill Pullman's speech from Independence Day needed a public forum -- have answered the hysteria with a reasonable plea for help.

I would give them nothing.They have it all and are still discontent.We could give them the world and all that is in it and they would still have a gapping hole that needs to be filled.No what they are in need of is not of this world.......

I to wanted to help, so I gave them my house that I worked my whole life for. I thought that someone from the bank would move in since they seem to need it so bad, but it still sits empty
