They are volunteers. Our jingoistic president is only in it for himself. His approach to health care is to deny it to anyone who can't buy it. His approach to taxes is to rob the poor to give to the rich. The flag-waving is to rally the mostly dispossessed to a symbol that no longer stands for opportunity for all. The poor are still free to walk wherever their feet will take them and, like the rich, the poor are free to sleep under a bridge. Equal opportunity.
