Selfish Americans are those who want to keep their money… via gatewaypundit:
“The reason that we want to do this, change our tax code, is not because I have anything against the rich. I love rich people! I want all of you to be rich. Go for it. That’s the America dream, that’s the American way, that’s terrific…
“John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic. You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.”
The essense of this argument is just like all the other liberal arguments about how morally deficient conservatives are because they don’t support government control of every aspect of your life– and it is a bogus strawman argument– that caring and charity can only be defined as government giving things away.
