“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
President Kennedy was quite accurate as well ethical till midway of his famous statement, while just as inaccurate and unethical thereafter hence undermining the former half with the latter. Consequently, a worthless if not detrimental quote by him so declaring.
Today, many are asking, actually demanding more and more of government, that is, what the country can do for them. Many of the same along with others expect , actually demand everyone to "do for your country" by way of propagandized "fair taxes" for social programs illogically categorized as "rights". By government's expansion of political wars therefore further recruitment of soldiers, agents and contractors, it is expected to continue to do more and more for "your country" in this way as well. At the end of the day, Americans are wanting more of government as well of their neighbors' resources even lives.
Ask NOT what your country can do for you. Ask NOT what you can do for your country. Instead, ask what you can do for yourself and your family, to become less dependent on others thus less covetous of others. Personal independence, not societal dependence, is the path towards a sustainable country, the sole prerequisite to a better country.
