Poll question: Are we Americans too selfish and too greedy for our own good

This fight over the public option is depressing me -- and leads me to question the collective goodness of our country.

what do you think?

1. "Get out there and COMPETE!"

If that's good enough for housing, education, your job...

Why isn't it good enough for health care? Get out there and COMPETE for healthcare, the same way we have to COMPETE for a bed to lie down in at night. Live by the sword... :shrug:

2. I'd say so, in a very general sense.

I think a lot of America is preoccupied on what affects them personally. I also think that this has affected everything from the houses we live in, to the cars we drive and things we buy.

3. Our lifestyles have become so inflated

we don't know what we need any more.
