The problem with the president is that, though he is a very intelligent man, he's educated, he's popular or at least all the "popular" **** like him, is that everything he believes in is wrong for this country.
This country was founded and was made great by people who were very independent and individualistic, they would take care of themselves and would VOLUTARILY take care of their own, whereas the president and his ilk want to take care of all of us and ***** US to take care of everyone else.
So, your saying the country was founded by people that got lucky and were in the right place at the right time. That may be true, but your entire premise is confusing correlation with causation. You ignore all the potential people that that could have helped and built up the country if they ever had a chance. Of course only the people that had a reasonable chance and got lucky where the ones that succeeded, the other people COULDN'T. As a country wouldn’t make sense to broaden the number of people that can make the country great to absolutely everybody or at least as many people as possible, and take out luck and circumstance as much as possible. For some reason people like you pretend it wouldn't have been better any way else. Instead of thinking of it as ******* people to take care of others that are put in a situation where they reasonably can't, (You know, something that's their civic, moral, and ethical duty anyhow.) why don't you think of helping others to achieve what they otherwise wouldn't reasonably be able to as an investment in the us, something that really would make the country better.
Does this country always have to have a me me me me type of attitude? You have yet to explain how not helping as many people as possible is even the "wrong direction for the country". Be honest with yourself. It's not the wrong direction for the country, you just think it's the wrong direction for you because you probably won't personally gain from it. (Other than the country might get better as a whole, but for some reason that never counts when personal selfishness is at stake.) Or maybe it's just blind ideology with no actual reasoning to back it up. It's hard to tell sometimes.
