"Spreading the pain, tightening the belts, shared sacrifice - those seem to be higher the agenda of the left than solving problems."

This is becoming a spin issue.

Recognizing that we are a civilization and that all of the great things that mark civilizations down through the millenia is the ability to work as a group towards a common goal. A Roman Phalanx was as effective as it was because the soldiers operated as a unit, their opponents usually didn't. If the Egyptians relied on individuals, they would have never built the pyramids. And, likewise, they never would have put together the the system that fed their people and defended their borders by relying only on individuals.

We are a civilization. Our sum is much greater than our individual parts.

This isn't a bad thing, you know.
