A quote from Winston Churchill: “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”

When and where has socialism ever been successful? The dependency of U.S. citizens on their government is not what we want or need. We should not be punishing people who take risks and succeed.

America is about individual equality, not group equity. Jobs and free-market opportunities, not big government and subsidies, are the answers to poverty.
