There is no place in reality for idealists.
None.
The US was founded on the idea of INDIVIDUAL first. What we have now is completely the OPPOSITE.
It sickens me.

I wholeheartedly embrace individuality. But there are many problems in the US that are caused by and aren't able to be solved with the free market. Just think, without government intervention, there would be anarchy, and there would be no free market.
While I am an idealist on one level, I consider myself to be pragmatic and utilitarian. I'm only talking about ideas that I think will help improve America, not cater to some sort of welfare state.
I think you are far overexaggerating the fact that there is no individual responsibility in the US. I see it everywhere, from immigrants, to small businesses, even to federal employees (not the DMV).
