I do think its somewhat un-American to serve only yourself.

Once again, you're supporting why AA and social welfare programs are both feasible and necessary.
Semantics leads you to debate the whole "demanding to be helped" and "forced to help" thing. That's a neither here nor there debate because most people in need aren't so much demanding it based on their inadequacies but expecting it based on the idealism and nationalism that you typed about. "Forced to help" is like saying we're forced to do most things in this country through taxes and laws. If you want an anarchy or complete free will then leave America and find a tiny island off the coast.
