And Campaign - Chicago

Society isn’t à la carte. We all benefit when we all benefit, and we can’t do that unless we all chip in.

The thing about government is that it exists for the common good: it’s not a bundled subscription service. This person probably wants to take advantage of social security benefits that younger generations contribute to, and for that matter there’s a good chance they directly benefitted from public education funding when they were younger.

More to the point, everyone benefits from living in a nation where kids can read or where seniors have protection against poverty.

There is, after all, such a thing as society. Pass that on!

This election season, stand up not for a party, nor for your choice for president. Stand up for the Prince of Peace.
