Could there be anything more selfish than a true capitalist? Maybe my upbringing didn't harden my heart sufficiently against the suffering of others, but I'd like to think that those people who are well off should want to help those who aren't, even if it's for as terrible a reason as being able to sleep easier at night. I'm not for true socialism -- it doesn't work, because people are assholes. But I don't think wanting to help your fellow citizens should be construed as anything other than patriotic. The nation grows stronger together, not as individuals.
