Rational Self-Interest vs. Self-Serving
I am having a little debate with an Objectivist, about this sentence in our book.
"He was being protected by the immoral, self-serving culture of Washington DC. Hank’s face flushed with anger.”
Do you see a problem with using "self-serving" next to "immoral" ? If so, what other word(s) might you use in place of "self-serving."
We were attempting to get across the 'we'll save our own tribe' culture of government. it's not crony-because we want to just focus on from within the government. We saw it last week, with many republicans like Sen. Rubio, backing McConnell's actions. Or I wonder how many park rangers relished the high handed tactics of keeping citizens from using their own property, etc.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

That being said self serving is immoral if you are using others involuntarily to serve yourself. Also self serving can be irrational and thus immoral.
You could have put slave culture maybe?
adjective 1. continuing oneself in office, rank, etc., beyond the normal limit. 2. capable of indefinite continuation.
