In only about 120 years as a society we've sprinted from the concept of noblesse oblige (I was born into great wealth & therefore it is my duty to take care of those less fortunate than me) to American Dream success stories like Joe Kennedy (I will use this great country to make a kazillion dollars and in return will demand my children commit themselves to public service with the intention of helping those less fortunate than themselves) to today where we have Super Shitheads (it is our duty under God to do whatever we can to make the incredibly super-rich slightly more incredibly super-rich by doing everything we can to convince the least fortunate among us to transfer what little wealth they had upwards into the hands of the incredibly super-rich).
Way to go guys. Awesome.
