I donate - but plan to enjoy my wealth

Re “Wealthy Americans can end inequality right now” letter by Reba and Pat Siniscalchi.

I will point out that the poor in our country are the wealthiest poor in the world, with food and housing given by the taxpayers, plus most of them have cars, air conditioners and microwaves, like the wealthy.

I am not embarrassed to have more than the average bear. We tithe to the Ronald McDonald House and the Salvation Army. I intend to enjoy the rest.

The wealthiest can do much by creating jobs. The poor can get an education and respect the law.

We can replace the Siniscalchis ifs and buts, honey and nuts with hard work, and maybe less being the victim.
