The USA was set up under the premise of individuality, and was that way until the FDR years with the Depression. The FF feared the communal lifestyle under feudalism more than anything else and made sure the Constitution would stop central government would not get too big. If America does not fit your set of ideals, there are other areas of the world that does? I AM so happy that you think my mind does not match up with yours, I consider that to be a compliment.
