Dumkopf.

Not always true.  In the Clinton years it was common wisdom to go for the money rather than serving the people.  At the moment, the Democrats are pushing more for the people.  If you promote the general welfare, people will vote for you.

Unless you are racist, of course, and wish to hurt the minorities.  You don't want the general welfare.  I think enough people have swung the other way recently.

I think the meme that working for the general welfare is socialism and therefore evil is way overdone.  Autocracy may be evil, but that is different.  You don't do state hijackings or invade your neighbor.

You also have to give capitol some weight.  In a capitalistic system, capitalism has to run smoothly to get the general welfare.  What is good for GM really is good for America, even when they need a loan from the government.  Still, it is an idea which has been taken a good deal too far of late.
