When it comes to my country, I don’t have an insane sense of
duty. Nobody would ever call me a super patriot. I’m unwilling to sacrifice
life for country. Especially my life. It’s the other way around. I want my
country to make life good. For us all. With programs that more or less guarantee the basic necessities
of life. Good education. Good health
care. Employment. A decent, livable
wage. For everyone. Social security. Let the common good be served. With a fair
distribution of the wealth. Shouldn’t
necessarily be everyone for himself.
Survival of the fittest. Instead, I want a government that makes life
easier and more comfortable. For the
masses of people. Not just an elite few. Of course, that means a narrowing of
the gap between the rich and poor. No,
I’m not for equal income for everybody. Just a more reasonable distribution of
wealth. Once again, for the sake of the common good. Yes, I know this won’t
ever happen. But still, that doesn’t stop me from advocating the impossible.
