A few years ago, someone on the right of the spectrum was in my e-mail saying that the idea of "we're all in this together" was the source of everything wrong with America, distorting people's ideas with socialist thoughts and unAmerican values (and depleting precious bodily fluids, no doubt.)
Several days ago, someone on the right of the spectrum was on the radio saying that because "we're all in this together," the most well-off people in America need to keep tax cuts that have cost the country billions. (Yeah, because tax rates are the single biggest problem facing all Americans today. Note that he didn't come out and say that the costs would require scaling back or cutting out essential services to the less well-off people in America.)
