I guess it’s based on status and career and that’s all. I cannot for the life of me understand why you would not want the country you live in to be successful and have low poverty, fair wages, excellent educational system, great healthcare, a safety net to help as many people as possible, how is that bad? And if you have the power to make it better, why the hell wouldn’t you? Does being wealthy turn you into an idiot? Or just a calculating asshole? Both?

There is a common thread throughout all of American history from the moment when whites first settled in Jamestown and Plymouth until now.

That thread is selfishness. No country has ever embraced and encouraged selfishness more than the US of A. And that is going to be the downfall of us.
