Will the ever be a generation of Repugs that they will get the feeling of duty to look after their fellow Americans?
Sure!

The white, middle-class christian ones, at least...
Actually, Reaganomics has devastated the white middle class. It's ok though, so long as the Republicans can keep blaming minorities and immigrants, they will stay in power. :prof:

That is one of the major problems there is no middle class in America. You only have the rich and the poor.

The old class terms don't apply anymore. The middle class is everyone with a job. The poor is everyone without one.

Dont agree. A healthy middle class (with or without work) is a requirement for a healthy society.

The middle classes require services and have money to spend. It keeps industries going. Middle classes are required for supporting the socialist social state. They pay the bulk of the tax which in turn pays for the fundamentals such as health, education and social service. Also the maintenance of the infrastructure.

Health Care Sharing Ministries, or HCSMs, advertise themselves as a more affordable, faith-based alternative to health insurance. But John Oliver explains some of the massive limitations these plans can have.

Who needs health insurance when you've got God on your side?
