Choom's right. Nobody will be working together. They are only in it for what they can get from the government. And the government is all too willing to give it, because that is now how they stay in power. I don't know if there is any way to get out of it. Dependent voters are dependable voters.
Who is going to work for anything if the government is going to come take it, telling them "You didn't build that"?
That's our country now. The feeling is, "As long as I get mine, to hell with you." That's the liberal mindset. The conservative and liberatian mindset has always been, "I want what you have, so I am going to work and provide something you need, at a price you can afford, so you will give it to me."
But if you do that too well, the government will come take it from you, without providing value, so someone who doesn't want to work can have it without cost to them.
That's not America. Sorry, but it truly isn't.

I voted for Obama. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
I don't want an Obama phone, I have my own phone.
I don't want a check from the government, I work for my checks
I'm not on welfare.
I'm not on medicare or medicaid.
The republicans and others are going to continue to lose until they realize the real reason Obama won.
He won because the key electorate does not want what the Republican or Libertarian platform is selling!!
Taking away abortion, planned parenthood, choice does not sell to the key electorate
Cutting things like PBS does not sell to the key electorate
Huge unnecessary military spending does not sell to the key electorate.
Tax cuts for the rich does not sell to the key electorate
You guys really don't get it, and that's exactly why Obama won.
