We're supposed to be liberal Democrats on this site. The selfishness on a Democratic site is disheartening.
This is part and parcel of living in a society where we have some sense of responsibility for others outside of ourselves. No man is an island, etc. etc. I am a senior whose children are grown and in their 40's and I don't whine and moan about paying taxes for public schools. Someone paid taxes for my children to go to school. When I was younger I didn't whine and moan about paying Medicare and Social Security taxes when my senior years were far off in the distance. It's part of the social contract that we pool our resources to help each other out, and I always thought that Democrats valued that.
I've read so many posts both here and on Facebook that start with, "But this doesn't help me any." Then we complain about the "me" society.
