Perhaps they can grasp the concept of something greater than 'self'.
I sure know that democrats can't think beyond whats in it for them.
Study Ayn Rand - the holy godmother of the Libertarian movement. She taught a generation of Republicans that pure selfishness was the highest ethical ideal. As long as someone is doing what they want, it doesn't matter who or what they are destroying. This is why John Galt sank the global economy with an unregulated derivative market. Our great financial innovators knew that they were selling ultra risky garbage that would eventually explode and destroy a lot of people, but they only cared about personal wealth. And this, says Rand, is what makes the economy work. Every man pursuing only his selfish interests, with no concern for anyone else. Indeed, if someone else is stupid enough to buy a derivative from you that you can't cover, fuck 'em - your only obligation is to yourself.
And that's how a great nation dies. When a small class of ultra wealthy people get wealthy at the expense of everyone else.
Everybody knows its noble public civil servants who make the country prosperous....lol
