Please Pass the Buck

This week being that famous holiday of thanks, I would like to pose a question to those who have so much that one would have to question where they start in their long list of things to be thankful for.  When you have more to your name than 85% of Americans, better yet, more than 90% 0f the rest of the world, what would you be most thankful for?  Would you first be thankful for the fact that you're a cut above the rest economically?  Or that you didn't have to prepare your own meal?  Would you question why you were so fortunate or be so filled with the sense of entitlement that the thought wouldn't even cross your mind?

I keep asking these questions as if I'd know what the answers were.  Personally, I feel I would pass the buck instead of the gravy on Thanksgiving.  I would be more than happy to share my wealth with others.  Let's say I had a large home, I'd invite people who couldn't fit into the local shelters in to get something to eat and a warm shower.  It  would make me feel good.
