 world to give freely out of the goodness of their hearts.
Politian’s like “poor” people have the tendency to loot off the “rich” to sustain their existences. Politicians will look at the demographic numbers of the wealthy and expect donations by smoozing them with their company, and government employees such as teachers and administrators will seek through their public unions to loot off the backs of the wealthy using the politicians to falsely increase their own social values. But it doesn’t work because the government employee, the politicians, and all the little satellite groups who crawl behind the wealthy licking their shoes with praise while holding a jealous metaphorical knife behind their backs spend their personal time talking about soup operas, and supermarket tabloids because the mind of these people is underdeveloped.
The neighborhood of our dinner hosts was in many ways like Galt’s Gulch from the fabulous book Atlas Shrugged. It seemed to me that the homeowners of this very pristine community were attempting to build for themselves a private paradise so that they wouldn’t have to associate with a looting outside world. At the outdoor Asian restaurant that evening located on one of the community streets, it was crowded and flourishing with bright-eyed faces happy, intelligent and at ease. The level of comfort seen on their “rich” faces is not what’s seen when the same people eat at the same kind of restaurants in a community that is saturated with residents from government housing, with multiple demographic types created by progressive social tampering.
Progressives will declare that people are people no matter what they are or what they do. But they are wrong in that assessment. People are of the quality of what they put into their minds. Rich people, although not 100% of the time, put information of much greater value into their minds, and their lives are richer because of it. Rich people read books, watch documentaries, care for their lawns, their clothing, their food, their bodies, because the quality of their minds lead them to a higher form of living.  Governments, progressive/socialists—attempt to even the playing field by trying to convince the poor that they can put garbage into their minds and can get gold out. But the gold does not come from the work and merit of the poor; it comes from robbing the rich with taxes.
The government worker—the teacher, the firefighter, the cop, who retires at 55 years old with large pensions and unused personal days might take with them from the public treasury a half million to a million dollars. But they would not be “rich.” They have money, but they are not affluent. They have money because it was given to them by a looting politician, by looting government workers, by a looting regime abiding by a progressive political platform. They are not equal to the entrepreneur, the CEO, the restaurateur, the factory owner and other ‘rich’ who are the engines of an economy. Money does not make them equal to the ‘rich’ man. Money simply allows them to shop at the same stores. Real wealth is in the mind. You can take all the money of a “rich” man and he will still find his way back into wealth because his mind is productive, and therefore he has value to the economic engine. He will never be poor.
But the people who live in the above mentioned community are ‘rich’ for the most part, and they moved to this distant location to be away from high tax cities, high tax schools, high tax townships, public housing, public busing, laundry mats, check cashing drive through windows, and street corners inhabited by kids born by welfare mothers with no fathers to raise them. The ‘rich’ want to sit on their nice porches and read their books as children with two parents guide their bicycles down the road in front of the homeowner and all that’s required is a friendly wave of acknowledgment. It was clear to me as I studied the quality of the homeowners in this immaculate community that they built the neighborhood for all the same reasons as John Galt built Galt’s Gulch in the famous book Atlas Shrugged–to be away from the looters of society as much as possible without quite giving up on The United States all together. The community has the feel of a group of people who wish to still continue to be engines of the American economy without the drag of being ripped to shreds by a society of the looting poor, who became that way not by their own misfortune, but by the quality of what they put into their minds.
The progressive vision for not just America, but the world is an evil one rooted in collectivism. The poor do not need to be looked down upon, or ridiculed. I would say to any of them that they too could become wealthy or “rich” simply by changing the kinds of thoughts they have in their minds, the types of films and television they watch, the music they listen to, and the books they read. If they improved that one simple thing, they would find that their lives would greatly improve. Progressive Democrats and even Progressive Republicans are simply looting politicians buying votes from the poor with stolen money from the ‘rich.’ Much of what the Democrats represent on their political platform is based on legalized theft, justified by being the facilitators of compassion, and they are completely wrong. The wealthy have done everything they can to move away from these looters by taking their money far out into the suburbs, away from the high taxes of city councils and county commissioners who seek to steal it, and disperse it to those who pour garbage into their minds by the bucketfuls and expect gold to come out in return. There are all across America many such Galt’s Gulches and the ‘rich’ are chastised, for being “anti-social,” “elitist,” and too “high brow” in showing their desire to live in such places, away from the government trolls and strong-armed government statesman looking for a hand-out of looted money through taxation.
The people I visited in that pristine neighborhood aren’t planning to run. In the wake of the NDAA act signed into law by President Obama on the first day of 2012 my dinner hosts showed me their collection of newly purchased AR-15s with thousands upon thousands of rounds of ammunition. In fact, much of our dinner conversation centered on the topic of just how it would feel to resist the military when they came to seize our property under martial law by the NDAA provisions. What would be the trigger that would cause one of us to be the first to act against our own tax payer funded military. We all agreed that it would be a hard decision, but holding those collections of AR-15’s I could see that the thought process was already beginning. And as I learned at dinner, most of the people living around my hosts were all arming themselves in the same manner. And they have a right to. They have done nothing wrong but work hard, make money, and try to live their lives. It is the progressives who believe wrongly that they have a right to the money of the wealthy, and that they will seize it with a legal system created by looters, for the benefit of looters, to the ends of the looters till all the money and the people who make it are depleted from planet earth casting mankind back into the shadows of the Neanderthal primitive and their hairy, smelly deodorant free bodies.
&gt;Unlike traditional psychodynamic therapy for individuals, the most effective couples therapy doesn't plumb the unconscious or delve into the past or seek to identify the psychopathologies causing people to behave in destructive ways, Gehart said.

&gt;Rather, couples therapy works best when it focuses on the systemic interactions between partners, she said — that is, how the relationship dynamics are perpetuating patterns that are driving them apart and what positive steps each person can take to change them.

&gt;"You learn to treat the system, not the symptom," said Love, an Austin, Texas-based author of several relationship books. "If you don't pay attention to the system, one person will feel betrayed, left out, reactive and not want to come back to therapy."

For anyone going to couples or marriage therapy/counseling, a well-trained professional is going to take this approach.

Couples counseling is to *repair and heal your relationship,* not you. Nor is it a place to "straighten out" a spouse.

Individual therapy/counseling *may* help heal an individual.

But, ask an individual counselor: "Will improving the health of my romantic relationship improve *my* mental health?"

The answer you should receive is yes.Sebastian Adamo, Principal, Adamo-Faiden Architects, Buenos Aires, delivered a Cloud Talk on Mon., Oct. 19 @ 2:00 p.m. in S. R. Crown Hall.

Then, you might want to look into a spousal IRA — especially if your partner is a stay-at-home parent who doesn’t have an employer. Spousal IRAs allow husbands or wives to save (tax-efficiently) for retirement in a Roth or traditional IRA if:
- You’re married and file taxes jointly
- Your partner has zero income of their own
- Your income equals or exceeds their contributions to the account
The rules around contributions and deductions for tax purposes get tricky with spousal IRAs, but a financial planner who works with families where one spouse is the high earner and the other spouse stays at
