He added that George Osborne, his chancellor of the exchequer, also meant it when he said “we are all in this together.” Sounds like what SilentZ told me when he pushed his socialist collectivism. Of course, his exact words were, "We're a fucking society and we're all in this together." And we are.....if the little people at the bottom fall apart, or worse, revolt, the people at the top are in trouble. Marie Antoinette knows that storyline real well.

"Sounds like what SilentZ told me when he pushed his socialist collectivism." This is bullshit. Recognizing we are a society is not socialist collectivism. It is reality. It is a myth that people can survive without a community. Granted, some can game a community and get ahead. But that is a recent phenomena. In my family, mine is the first generation that got beyond subsistence farming. All of my anscestors depended on "socialist collectivism" to survive. And took it for granted. It is a given that one is expected to help others when needed. And it is a tough decision to cut out the parasites that game the system because able hands are at a premium. Which, unfortunately, meant that those with neocon leanings were not purged from the gene pool because there was the hope that they would actually contribute to the community instead of just being parasites. So, what are you? Are you concerned with what you can get in the short term? Or are you one who invests in the community on the off chance that they will support you when you are in need? Given that you are a member of a megachurch, I am guessing you are a follower of a granfalloon instead of a karass. Which probably explains your cynicism.
