Does it take a village, or self-dedication?

I believe that if the US were to cut the military budget in half social services would be well funded and this question wouldn't be an issue. I also believe that rugged individualism is a dead ideal that leads to corruption once a certain amount of wealth is reached. In other words, I'd rather live in a socialist state than a libertarian state any day.

A crude, but practical, way of explaining my thoughts is comparing the world to an aspect of MMORPGs: everyone wants to be a warrior (business owner, Nurse-Practitioner, author, entrepreneur), nobody wants to be a healbot (floor staff, Certified-Nursing-Assistant, Huffington Post blogger, berry picker).

Well here is the thing there are some people who do want to be healbots ,who love to be healbots.

Yes problem is finding enough people that want nothing more in life than mopping up some kidls sick at an amusement park or shovelling elephant shit at the local zoo.

True. I'm not saying the healbots aren't out there, but I wouldn't want to be relegated as one.
