equality of opportunity...not equality of outcome...
the crux of the difference between free people and serfs
the crux of the difference between conservatives/libertarians and the democrats/socialists
“equality of opportunity...not equality of outcome...”
Where do you think Obama took his “spreading the wealth” mantra from ?
Directly from ... Karl Marx’ concept of a communist society:
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”.
I. Nothing in society will belong to anyone, either as a personal possession or as capital goods, except the things for which the person has immediate use, for either his needs, his pleasures, or his daily work.
II. Every citizen will be a public man, sustained by, supported by, and occupied at the public expense.
III. Every citizen will make his particular contribution to the activities of the community according to his capacity, his talent and his age; it is on this basis that his duties will be determined, in conformity with the distributive laws.
In other words, those who have no abilities whatsoever, they will still receive “according to their needs”, which will be taken from the pockets of hard-working people.
Obama’s idea of America is absolutely contrary to the conservative concept and to the right of each human being to pursue happiness and enjoy the fruits of his hard labor.
