Does everything have to be Capitalist?
When is the greater good enough of an incentive?
When the government is uninvolved?

I, for one, agree with you. We Americans have lost our perspective on what America was originally all about --- freedom! The problem started with the industrial revolution, and kicked into high-gear just after WW-II. The purpose and goals of America use to be about securing and promoting individual civil rights. Then came big-business and organized religion. With the merger of military and business, the military/industrial complex, that was the beginning of the end for America, in my opinion.
Unbridled business, organized religion, and corrupt government leaders have systematically destroyed this country.

The Neocon imperialist doctrine adopted by the Bush-Cheney administration that was used to launch the March 2003 illegal military invasion of Iraq. This was done according to the imperialistic "Bush Doctrine" of pre-emptive wars,1 of international unilateralism, and of American assertive military supremacy around the world. According to this hubristic foreign policy doctrine, the United States could invade any country, especially in the Middle East, in order to impose a local democratic government friendly to the United States and its allies. The occupied country would then become a model to other countries which would adopt the same type of political regime and the same policies. We all know how this new imperialistic doctrine has fared in Iraq and what have been its disastrous consequences.
This is the world our greed and apathy has created.

Everthing is capitalist for sure. You capitalize on a lover when he/she attracts you. It's human nature as no one wants to failalize. Sounds like the socialism theme has hooked you. You were not put here to worry about other peoples lives. You were placed here to live YOUR life in harmony with your Maker. Don't know your maker, then you really got problems coming up!

we cant do everything just for the advancement of all humanity, because the reality is that the rest of the world could care less about us americans. why should we watch their backs, when they would in the drop of a hat turn on us? im not saying we shouldnt do anything, but we need to make sure we take care of american needs above all. if these other countries have things so bad, they need to go to work like our forefathers did for us to create a great country.

the u.s. will use its initiative for the advancement of ALL humanity, when non-power/money hungry politicians stop being voted into office (i am not even referring to the president either, but he certainly does play his part)

Your ideals are socialist. We are not and probably never will be a socialist society.

The world doesn't need your help. It needs your respect (something that you have never showed).
