The battle is on, and nothing less than the soul of America is at stake.

The system that enables the most people to earn the most success is free enterprise, by matching up people's skills, interests, and abilities. In contrast, redistribution simply spreads money around. Even worse, it attenuates the ability to earn success by perverting economic incentives.

Conservatives are better talking about opportunity and growth in the abstract, while liberals talk more about poor people. Right now we [americans] need a good, optimistic, conservative opportunity ideology that is totally geared toward lifting up the poor. That's what I most want to see in candidates.

Free enterprise is essentially a formula not just for wealth creation, but for life satisfaction.

If you think spreading money around by force seems like an odd definition of fairness, you're not alone.

We will have bigger bureaucracies, bigger labor unions, and bigger state-run corporations. It will be harder to be an entrepreneur because of punitive taxes and regulations. The rewards of success will be expropriated for the sake of attaining greater income equality.

As a political independent, I would gladly vote for any political party dedicated to limited government and entrepreneurship.
