Neko Case’s song of the title above came to mind recently when Alyssa Milano made the news. The actor, whose personal net worth is estimated to be more than $10 million dollars, touched a nerve when she took to social media to solicit funds. She asked strangers to con- tribute to her Go Fund Me account so that her son’s baseball team could go to Cooperstown, NY.
Huh?
Milano could obviously cover the cost for this rather easily. But, at a time when many struggle to just pay the bills, this millionaire panhandler has the nerve, the unmitigated gall, to ask others to sacrifice. She apparently needs her money.
Gandhi notes, “There is a sufficiency in the world for man’s need but not for man’s greed.”
Amen.
