"I'll never forget the line, "We're a fucking society, Tench!""

That we are. Now, I know you don't believe in evolution. But humans working in groups to survive is universal among groups which are in a precarious survival position. Humans who strike out on their own and try to survive by themselves generally start pushing up daisies really quick.

Cooperative projects is a hallmark of civilization. Sad to see people who reject that.

"Liberals believe that more often than not, people cannot make it on their own.

Conservatives believe that people should be relied upon to make it on their own."

..and Koreans believe that blacks can make it on overpriced groceries.

Conservatives believe that people should be relied upon to make it on their own.

If conservatives are convinced of that premise, why do they work so hard to reduce taxation as low as possible? If, in fact, they are so confident in their abilities, the American taxation system should not present a problem at all in their quest to make tons of money.
