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."

it's supposed to be ironic ?

I think so.

That Kennedy quote has always been a puzzler.

Not in meaning, but why the hell it's supposed to be some kind of American ideal to aspire to.

"Take what we give you and beg to serve" seems a more honest phrasing.

It's more about helping your fellow man, not the government.

Seriously, what's the point of government if not to HELP US. We didn't invent government to make our lives more difficult. We invented it to keep our shit together. For us. As a property of its existence.

Eh, we DIDN'T invent government. Government invented itself to control and exploit us. They do so to the degree of our tolerance levels and the level to which we are manipulated.

I don't think quoting a bunch of slave-owners and misogynists who did none of all that is proving the point you're trying to make.
