Yes, because what else is even the purpose of having a society or an economy if not specifically so that everyone can benefit from the collective work of others?

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia  commented…1yr1Y

After all, if one’s only view is to take care of themselves, we are left defenseless to issues that require collaboration and collective effort.

  @Patriot-#1776Constitution from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

Absolutely not.

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia  commented…1yr1Y

It takes a special kind of selfish to respond like this.

 @9H6PQFH from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

yes I would be willing to give up future earnings.

  @Patriot-#1776Constitution from Washington  answered…1yr1Y

No, in fact, I would support instant secession from the union the moment such programs were proposed

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia  commented…1yr1Y

Then freaking secede already, that’s been happening for decades.

  @Patriot-#1776Constitution from Washington  commented…1yr1Y

If it were up to me, then I would instantly do that. Texas is voting for secession in 2024, if she secedes, I predict Oklahoma, will follow, then the rest of the Great Plains, then Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Montana, and the South.

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia  commented…1yr1Y

That’s literally the destruction of the USA, great way to cripple a nation entirely.

  @Patriot-#1776Constitution from Washington  commented…1yr1Y

The USA is already crippled entirely and I am supporting secession as a peaceable solution to conservative-leftist strife and a remedy to the endless spending of Washington DC. Secession is a constitutional right of the states, and the Founders would instantly demand secession if they were teleported to the modern age.

“Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”

By Chuck Todd, NBC News:We are getting awfully close to the moment when it might be fair to say, “Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”We are now going from a presidential campaign that left the public disinterested and at times disgusted it to a campaign that I could see generating an electorate that might be as interested, if not more so, as in 2008 and 2020, two of the highest-turnout elections in the last 50 years.If the Democrats do end up with a new nominee — and it’s looking more likely by the hour that they will — that, too, is likely to suddenly trigger interest in what the new nominee has to say, which in turn could engage the electorate in a way that the pre-debate version of this campaign just didn’t.But before we get to this campaign reset, the Democrats have to figure out what their ticket looks like and, more important, how quickly they can get their ticket selected and certified by the party.As of this writing, my sources indicate to me that about the only folks who are still trying to rationalize Biden’s staying in this race all share the last name of Biden, with the possible exception of Biden’s longtime chief political strategist, Mike Donilon — who, as the gatekeeper of the data that makes it to the president's desk, is starting to get blame along with Biden and his family for Democrats’ being in this position.
