It’s ridiculous that such smack you in the face obvious concepts that Roosevelt was discussing even need to even be explained to full grown goddamned adults in modern America. We live in a society with a distressing number of stupid, shortsighted, “me me now” selfish, ignorant little fucking infants.

This 1000x. It’s the “Fuck you I’ve got mine” mentality and it’s been fully embraced by the GOP. They called it the “ownership society”.
