14. Sorry but it goes back to our basic humanity. Stone Age tribes
and primitive tribes today share. The hunters and gatherers who are physically fit go into the forest or savannah to bring home food. Then the whole village shares with everyone, the young, the old and the disabled. It's only in times of real famine that the old will be starved in favor of the young, the strong in favor of the weak for the survival of the tribe. On the other hand our society grabs from those who are creating the products for living and don't give back in return unless they are threatened. The haves keep grabbing more and try to keep it. Those who don't share or recognize the fact that we are a socialistic species don't get what it takes for us to be successful as a species. Right now the Europeans get it. We don't, and we really won't survive as a nation and maybe even a species until we get it.
