People create their own luck ... no I was not lucky. I chose to go to school, worked my way through, took school loans, paid them all off, and through hard work, initiative, creativity, and maybe a bit if intelligence, I created my success. I give the credit to myself for everything I have achieved. Others have the same opportunity. I give HEAVILY to charities of my choice, serve on three boards. Two not for profit and one for profit. I put much more effort in my work on not for profit boards and there is no compensation it is out of my commitment to their programs to create "opportunities" for others ... not handouts.

Frankly, I think it is disgusting what Obama is doing to not for profits to even try to make them turn to the government. There is a great deal of stimulus being thrown at not for profits, frankly wastefully, while he eliminates tax deductions to individuals and is increasing reporting by non profits about their donors ... required if the non profit takes stimulus money.

This is really Obama trying to get government control of everything. One of the not for profits turned down stimulus dollars because they did not need it, and guess what, about a month after turing it down they got a notice of an IRS audit.

Coincident? Maybe. But I think not.
