public service announcement

I had this idea for an ad campaign, and I roughed up a piece or two. Here's the first one...
The lack of civic responsibility in this country is irritating, especially when some of the worst offenders also claim to be "patriots".
I mean, I get that people would like to keep their money, who wouldnt? But a lot of Republicans sound like a whiny pre-teen who's been told that he has to clean up the living room, including his little sister's mess.Yeah, there are problems with Welfare, and there are some people who are always going to take advantage of a free lunch. Get over it. It's no excuse to throw out the programs that do the whole nation good, such as heavy subsidization of higher education or building roads that dont require a fee to drive on them or giving poor children pre-school and lunch. That may save you money up front, but it's a little like buying cans of "slightly" radioactive food simply because they're two for a dollar.
It boils down to this; despite all your bitching about "socialism", any nation is, at its heart, a collective endeavor. Nations are created when people pool their resources together for the benefit of all. Yes, some of the people do better than the others. Usually the ones who get the most out of it are the ones at the top. Western civilization is unusual in that the ones at the bottom get a bit more than in most cultures, and in case you havent noticed, everyone has done pretty well under that system.

Oh. Wait. You thought it was because you were so awesome, didnt you.
That's so cute.

Now grow the fuck up.
