Think about it. I just got finished thinking about it. There is no freedom in socialism. Freedom and equality are mutually exclusive concepts unless you limit the definition of equality to equal opportunity rather than equal result. Equal opportunity allows us the freedom to prosper from hard work or suffer the consequences of laziness. With real freedom, some people will get ahead of others. Some call this unfair. They want equality of result without the effort. They want the results of someone else's effort to flow into their pockets, and that is what I call "wealth redistribution", and that is what I call unfair. Too many people are riding on the wagon, leaving fewer and fewer to pull the wagon. Many of us in the harness, who are straining and sweating under the load, are beginning to look over our shoulder and see the huge crowd lounging and partying in the wagon, and they are saying, "Why am I doing all this work. This is unfair. If we can't ride in the wagon perhaps we should at least have a tea party." Jeff
