I'm not boasting of any virtue here, because there's no virtue in doing what one should do, only in going beyond what one should do.

When buying clothes at a church garage sale, and the total is, say, $7.64, like it was the last time, I give a $20 bill and tell them to keep the change.

I'm sure the flea-market primitives would try to haggle the $7.64 down to a dollar.

Still mad.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
