Whats Americas biggest problem? Its needs have turned into wants

"Saving Us" by Serj Tankian
Why do we sit around and
Break each other's hearts tonight?
Why do we dance around
The issues 'till the morning light?
When we sit and talk
And tear each other's lives apart.
You were the one to tell me go...

But you were the one for me,
And now you're going through the door,
When you take that step
I love you baby more and more,
We need to laugh and sing and cry
And warm each other's hearts tonight,
Having fun of everything......

The song is pretty hard to figure out, but when you watch the video, it all comes together...

It really made me think, what if america quit focusing on all of these petty issues, and really just focused on helping each other.

Sure some of the issues brought up in the video contradict each other, but you can understand the over all meaning....

What if America where to quit focusing on
-other countries
-War
-Stem Cell Research
-Unethical testing
-ect....

And people where to quit focusing on their own petty wants and desires
-Gambling
-Self image
-Extreme Wealth
-Ect

See in america we seem to get our needs confused with our wants and then the system gets messed up and wants become needs and needs become wants...

What are your guy's views on this....
Do you think America is capable of doing so, and focusing on our peoples needs first?
What would it require
