Yes, but it would require a major shift in culture from 'Me and mine only!' to 'We're all one nation'.
The US was founded on a one nation principle.
It wasn't. Read "The Articles of Confederation" for clarity.
"We're all one nation," is not a cultural statement, it is a philosophical statement.
Its both really.
A major shift to what culture?
Mexican, Irish, Israeli, Hungarian, Chinese, Indian, Russian?
You do not describe a culture.
The concept of individual property rights is not a cultural concept, it is a philosophical concept.
The reason I didn't describe a culture is because it's not a specific culture to emulate. It's a change in ours.
You know that the culture of America in the 1950s was different than now, yes? Like that. Not saying "Oh, be more Mexican" but more "Oh, change how Americans think to this concept..."
When people talk of Universal Health care, one of the biggest arguments against it is "why should I pay for someone else's health care?". Why should I pay for it. Meanwhile, every other nation with public care/education/services goes "Why wouldn't I? It's for me too and helps us all in the end."
See, American culture is full of self sufficiency. The idea that if you can't stand on your own, you don't deserve to be helped. You see it in politics when senators put in ear marks to help their states, even if it costs everyone a little bit more. (like adding an extra $5,000 for a new park in a bill for authorizing weapon sales to France) You see it in the streets as people walk by a man literally bleeding to death in NYC and ignoring him. You see it in our neighbors as they "mind their own business". We Americans want for ourselves, not for others. We'll happily let a single mom struggle just so we don't have to pay extra in taxes. So we can keep OUR money. So we can be sure OUR money isn't funding LAZY people.
THAT is what must change. The mental concept that we're not all in it together. That someone across the country has just as much value as you. That your tax dollars, what you pay, aren't yours to do with as you please. They belong to everyone and should go to making sure everyone is better, not just you.
