       I want to take a little aside here if I may and say that this is one of the reasons why democracy is so impressive. You see, those who live in other social setups generally have the rich at the top and everyone else is equal. The common folks, they cannot advance in those setups, or it is much harder to do so. Here in America, it is anyone who puts their minds to it who can accomplish great things. Anyone here can earn more and more money. It’s not so much that those who are rich and those who are poor are in those positions permanently, but anyone can become rich. In other words, what I am trying to say is that the good hearted can earn the wealth. And they often do in the American setup of things. Hence, the Law of Liberty. But what has to be given up? What has to be surrendered? Ah, yes, the desire to be rich. Remember, the Apostle Paul talked about this (see 1 Timothy 6:9).
