Saw this last night on ABC World News which I haven't watched in a long time.

After Michael Toczko lost his job in June as a stock broker near Phoenix, he and his family watched their home fall into foreclosure.

One family did more than keep the Toczkos safe. Liz and Joe Larger, a few doors down, took them in.

The Toczkos' and the Largers' decision to consolidate their family homes is becoming less and less unusual. In the cul de sac where they live, three of the five homes have two families per address.

The Largers and Toczkos said that neighbors reaching out to neighbors is teaching their kids a good lesson.

"Losing a house is a big thing, but it's just stuff. It's not important...We're together, we're a family and we're enjoying each other and that's what's really important," Larger said.

1. Kudos to the Largers for being awesome neighbors -

but when are we all going to band together and tell the billionaires "it's just stuff"? They can pay their fair share in taxes rather than hoarding it in off-shore accounts.

2. Big ups to Liz & Joe.

America's real wealth is in her people and her lands not in banks or on Wall Street.

4. Her people need a place to live, food, jobs and health care.

3. Amazing act of charity

Trouble is, conservatroids will point to this example and say, 'look! The private sector will take care of deserving families, so there's no need for a big-government safety net!'

5. It's nice seeing neighbors helping neighbors
