What great nation has a populace that feels entitled to food, shelter and healthcare?
Food vs. hunger
Shelter vs. homelessness
Healthcare vs. illness.
Can't be us. We have the highest infant mortality rate of any developed country.
It's our weird mythology, that the rugged individual who makes it on his own. (Yes, gentle readers, it is always a he). It never seems to take into account

Coping mechanisms, anyone?

Maybe this will help: my neighbor, a die-hard Republican, told me today he will vote Democratic this year. He's a small business owner who pulled himself up by his bootstraps and has been insulted by the leader of his own party.
