I don't get it

I don’t get it.
We work for peace, but we are the world’s biggest arms sellers.
We are compassionate, but we put more people in prison than any other country.
We pretend to care about the poor, but we legislate to push wealth to the top 1%.
We want to close the doors to immigrants, but we are a nation of immigrants.
We want our elected officials to be responsive to us, but we don’t vote.
We want to have it all, but we want other people to pay for it.
We believe education is important, but we but ignore the needs of those seeking an education.
We believe in free speech, but we want to cut funding for the NEA, the NEH and Public Broadcasting.
I don’t get it.
