Now that health care has passed?

and America's partisan divide is wider than ever. When do we start trying to bring this country back together? The constant class envy, the something for nothing mentality is weakening our country. Sadly many have endorsed the partisan nature that is now tearing us apart.

Update:

The majority rule in Congress allowed one party to lock the other out of negotiations. Is that good for America?

Update 2:

Stephanie- More of the class envy I speak of. Corporations are not what is destroying this country. A lack of work ethic, moral decline and the entitlement mindset is.

Update 3:

Onlooker- Do these programs better the lives that they are supposed to help? You say I envy their government programs? Why I provide for myself and my family. I don't need a handout. Do you think these programs better the lives they serve? If so how? Do these government programs help the poor break the bonds of poverty?

Update 4:

Tim- In what way is this question partisan?

Update 5:

Stanley- I would like to see this country change direction. The current path is to attack the successful to pay for the poor. At what point do we run out of successful and start lowering the standards of success? It isn't about us and them, that is the short sighted view. We need a Congress that is fiscally responsible. \At this point in time, we will never get along. What will President Obama do in November if the Republican gain power? He has refused to work with them and soon may be forced to.

    I'm sorry... I can't support ANYONE who supports this horrible idea.

    I can see where this is going. I've heard OBAMA say... OUT LOUD:

    I favor a SINGLE PAYER - GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.

    This is the FIRST STEP in getting there...

    The next step is AMNESTY for ILLEGALS... making the VOTERS and RECIPIENTS.

    The next step is a NATIONALIZE VAT (TAX).

    At the point where "our" government HOLDS ALL THE CARDS... they can do whatever they want.

    It's even MORE CLEAR now that our GOVERNMENT thinks IT KNOWS BETTER than we do, what we want and need. It's TRANSPARENT - that they've forgotten - that they were elected to fulfill THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE who put them there. What happens when we allow them to have ABSOLUTE CONTROL over our money and choices?

    We're on a slippery slope. The KIDS HERE... think it's an amusement ride... Weeeeeeeeee!

    Source(s): (with all this... your focus is: why can't we all just get along?) WOW!

    the guy that wakes up every day to his crumby job that he might get laid off at soon if he isn't already laid off is going to flip the bill.

    the rich politican or news anchor will feed you lies

    the healthcare system was broken and still is broken and seems like it will remain that way because of greed

    jobs are being moved around the world, and america has been the leader of exporting jobs for the past 50 years

    times are changing and the future is uncertain, maybe a country out there will start the next big thing and maybe we'll be in another war, god bless america

    Yes well I definitely agree with you on the something for nothing mentality but unfortunately until we elect a Congress that does what the people want and not the corporations that will never change. Corporations just take take take take take from the people and give little to nothing in return. Capitalism is indeed destroying our nation, why did you know in face that some people spout off crap about corporate tax rates while in reality they know nothing of what they pay? Shocking.

    It is sad that many Republicans have class envy for all the handouts that the poor receive. They think that minorities get all kinds of advantages that they don't get. They perhaps wish they were black gay Muslim women. That way they would get to enjoy all the advantages. If we can overcome this kind of class envy, and not adapt your trite perspective on "class envy," we can begin to try to find common ground. The belief of liberals is that poor people are entitled to health care. The Republicans don't agree and instead say anyone who wants to help the hungry is simply envious of the rich. That's why, in reality, the Republicans hate Jesus, because they see he wanted to take from Rome to feed the poor, a blatant example of his class envy. If you want to talk about ending the partisan divide, perhaps repost your question without that garbage about class envy.

    Just wait until the Climate Legislation starts getting pushed. Government control over your life & business is only just getting started I'm afraid (and it amazes me that people encourage our Government to do this).

    Pelosi decided to block out Republicans before health care and will continue right up till November.

    This woman will go down in history as the woman that destroyed American values and their economy.
