Wasn't JFKs speech supposed to be about not seeing a community only for what you get out of it?

Do you understand how offensive that concept is to a market capitalist?

They don't even want to fund public schools, and they get a pre-literate workforce out of that.

"Whats in it for me" would be our national slogan, if it wasn't already "fuck you whether or not I got mine."
