My share of the pie

In an interview (April 16, 2012, along with Larry Bird) on the David Letterman Show, Magic Johnson made a great comment, that what made the Lakers so great back then was that ‘the goal was not to score, but to win.’  In other words, individual scores didn’t matter as much as playing as a team to win.  I think all the members of US Congress should consider watching that interview and think about Magic’s point.  Similar, it seems that people these days focus more on their share of the pie, rather than the overall size of the pie…  They might also want to consider Magic Johnson’s point.
