Evil people are everywhere, Z.


But they aren't evil. Look at i-node. He summed it up when he said he doesn't give a shit about anybody else until his family is provided for. Given you can always convince yourself that you still don't have enough, this is all it takes.

That doesn't make them evil. Just a little sociopathic. And we all have a touch of it. Some more than others.

Here is the problem, though. It hurts the rest of the country. It limits our competitiveness, it damages our economy and limits social mobility, particularly upwardly. Our social mobility is lower than most of the European countries. It is almost as low as that famously class conscious country, Great Britain. And much lower than the Nordic countries. It isn't getting better, but worse as time goes on.

The America you are talking about cannot exist under present circumstances.
