This is beyond partisan beliefs which tend to obfuscate  issues rather than 
solve problems.  This is not a matter of political parties, but of social 
responsibility.

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the circle, 
then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what is inside the 
circle and everything outside the circle, then that is an open system 
perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
