The Haves. The Have-Nots

In this country so many have so much. So many others have so much less. It's not about redistribution of wealth. It's about questioning why the "the richest nation on Earth" cannot benefit everyone more equitably.

"The true greatness of a nation is not measured by the vastness of its territory, or by the multitude of its people, or by the profusion of its exports and imports; but by the extent to which it has contributed to the life and thought and progress of the world...

So with nations. A great nation is not one which, like Russia, has an enormous territory ; or, like China, has an enormous population. It is the nation which gives mankind new modes of thought, new ideals of life, new hopes, new aspirations; which lifts the world out of the rut, and sets it going on a cleaner and brighter road. "
