A short monologue urging listeners to distinguish needs from wants and, if they have financial abundance, to give back to their community. The speaker frames withholding others’ income as a libertarian principle, notes that small-business owners may not be wealthy despite appearances, and calls for donations of time, talent, or treasure from those better-off.

And don't ask of your wants. A lot of people ask of their wants, so there's some clarity in that. Like, ask of your needs, the things you really need, and then on the other side of the queue, the share of your abundance. You know, from a libertarian principle, it's like, well, don't take of my income. Don't take of my. What you perceive as my abundance. You know, small business people, a lot regular people, think that they all have all this money and they, you know, they, oh, they got a business, so they must be rich. Well, they might just be poor and barely hanging on, but the business is the most important asset they have, and they need to figure out how to make it work. So there's some philosophy in that share. If you do have abundance, though, then give it back to the community. Donate to nonprofit organizations, give of your time or your talent, your treasure to bless those around you, because obviously you've been granted much in comparison to the rest of the world. And so I believe that it's incumbent on those who have been granted much to share some back.
