Sorry, but I've never read that in any of John's posts.
Have you? Or are you just trying to stipulate that as a fact to further
you arguments?

Here's the quote... the last sentence seems to support the argument.

"Nah. Obama will do his thing, and there's nothing any amount of talking
or
name-calling here will do about it. I and mine are taken care of."

Supports the argument? Please.

First of all, the statement in question was made by Harry, not John.
Specifically, Harry said, "Not the point. It's the "I've got mine, so f&%$
you" attitude of his."

John never said that.

As to your reference, my interpretation is that John was simply stating that
he has his primary responsibilities covered. He paid his dues to accomplish
that. It's too bad many others don't.
But, I don't sense any attitude in his statement that he is not supportive
to those who are less fortunate.

Your first responsibility is to your immediate family. Once those bases are
covered, you should help others, based on your beliefs and principles.

It's the big "R" word preceded by the "P" word. "Personal Responsibility"

Imagine if everyone subscribed to that?

Ever hear the song "Imagine" by John Lennon?
That's what he was thinking about when he wrote it, then sang it.
Personal Responsibility.
I just realized that, thanks to your insight.
