[Vision2020] Good morning campers - It's installment #19 -Encouragement

[Chuck Kovis]

Who said anything about taking it away from them?  I said, why should ANYONE 
sacrifice when 25 people make 1 billion dollars apiece.  Funny that gluttony 
is a sin when it comes to food, but not when it comes to "earning" money. 
Just an observation.  Chuck Kovis
