“England is so dark, pessimistic.” He went on to say something that I had heard before, but never in such a personal context: “In England, if they see someone driving an expensive car, they ask why does that guy have the right to drive it? Who is he? In America, they say ‘I want to get me one of those.’

This is exactly what I experienced living in England in the 80’s. It is Socialism/Class Warfare at it's unhappiest. We must stop this in our country or we will never be prosperous or successful again.

Most people attribute the desire to have what others have to the popularity of socialism, and mix this desire up with coveting.

Wanting to take what someone else has for your own, through means other than earning it, is simply a desire for theft, not coveting.

Coveting, in its worst form, is epitomized by the “English” reaction to the nice car - “he shouldn’t have it, and I want to do something to make it so he can’t have it”.

THIS is what drives socialism and class warfare.
