I'm thinking the natural inclination of any responsble person is to first take care of the needs in one's household . . . then perhaps, benevolently or altruistically, assess and possibly assist in fulfilling the needs of others nearby, be they red, blue or purple.

But where we are headed is uncharted territory for most Americans, unless you were there to remember the 1930's.

Resources that sustain life are provided, ultimately, by only one thing: productive work. Somebody along the supply line is duty-bound to carry that load, tote that bale, to supply the demands that are required to sustain life.

Work: there is no way around it, whether performed for pay, for some other person(s) or undertaken for the sustenance of one's self/family/household or the continuance of some larger, let's say ideological or political association.

Work: gotta be in there somewhere, no way around it. America was once a nation of producers, before we all got lulled into being consumers.
