Maybe the perfect American is Libertarian enough not to be a Nazi or a Commie and Christian enough to be moral.

Part of the reason the USA is collapsing today seems to be education is bad, machines have made people dependent, regulations have protected the stupid from being killed, and welfare has made people weak.

A hundred years ago, the dumb would have been killed off if they were careless, weak, or lazy. Now there are seatbelts, helmets, technology, and welfare.

Modern society is bogged down by a large number of useless eaters who would have died off in the past.

Fascists think the weak should be sent to death camps to be killed, but Libertarians would rather return to a natural order with voluntary free market organizations, personal responsibility, families, and charities replacing government regulations and welfare.

Everyone likes to have a safe life, but one of the problems with government force are unintended consequences.
How can the government know what is best for you?

Although Americans think welfare and regulations mean safety, who would want to work if hard work is punished with taxes and laws and laziness is rewarded with handouts?
