    This “fend for yourself, personal responsibility” mentality is poisonous. We have a needless contempt for collectivism in America. Instead of collectively creating a safe country, we all individually carry guns. Instead of uniting together and creating fiscally sound social safety for all, we make a tiny portion of our population ultra-rich so that some of us have the chance to get by.
