My "we" clearly means the "United States." I'm not evading anything. It seems you are the one who continues to evade - helping people with their finances what a hoot. Many people educated in finance have done that - hell I would not ever consider it a good deed as stating that would never cross my mind. Your reasoning is like a child who has limited reasoning skills. No wonder you like being a conservative. Our town is building a $130 million dollar HS. I doubt being appointed to the finance committee of any town is like being an a condo board. That just shows your abject ignorance about most things you pontificate about.
As for flipping this to you - you are the one asking all these questions. Showing your inability to use a logical argument - case in point:
You stated the above so with that childish reasoning one could say defending ones country is only defending yourself -Big Deal. Now I wouldn't say something as ignorant as that but you did.
