Right, only try telling that to the naive posters here. They actually think altruism toward complete strangers without any strings attached exists. And worse, they think the government is the epicenter of said altruism and are willing to spend my tax dollars in an all-out attempt to prove that hypothesis beyond all reason.
Hence, my need to reiterate the fact that, yes, people look out for their own best interest first, last and always. Maybe saying it for the millionth time will finally get it through their thick skulls to their pea brains.
