Hillary Clinton has been getting hammered for her statements reminding the citizenry that "we are all in this together", and that an "on your own" society cannot be tolerated. Such criticism is unjust, for it ignores the basic fact that each person is put on this earth solely to serve others. Hillary realizes that common people should not pursue their own dreams; rather they should strive to ensure the collective is functioning properly. Politicians such as Hillary make this sacrifice every day when they devote their time to making the decisions that they feel are in our best interest. Considering the magnanimity of their efforts, surely we as servants of our rulers can do the same.
An "all together" society makes sense when one recalls that all economic systems based on the ideal of collectivism have prospered magnificently, whereas the models that rely on self-interested participants have all succumbed to dismal failure. Likewise, citizens of the entities that have practiced socialist methodology have all managed to lead happy, healthy lives. In contrast, the peoples of individualized capitalistic based nations all live in utter squalor and hopelessness, for no man can hope to achieve when competition is the rule of the day. The past has proven that mankind fairs better when individuality is cast aside, so it is ridiculous for any person to cling to their own sense of self worth when they should instead think only how they can meet the needs of others. Hillary has come to this conclusion, and only a fool would question her wisdom.
