In fact, I think that's a big part of the problem.
The country has been taken over by the heartless, both people and corporations.

And incidentally, you don't necessarily need to have a heart to love your family. That's primarily an instinct of self-preservation.
(Keep in mind that Vito Corleone loved his family.)

Altruism is what makes us human. Its absence is what makes Republicans.
