Pardon me, sir, but your true ideology is showing.
First, you reveal your belief that "when you spread the wealth, it’s good for everybody." Now, you speak of your intention to let everybody have a "slice of the pie."
In your mind, it appears that there is one great American pie to which some of us contribute according to our abilities and in which all of us share according to our needs.
In my mind, pie is not an entitlement. If I want to provide pie for my family, then it is my responsibility to earn that pie. And if my fellow citizens are suffering from a lack of pie, then it is my obligation to them as a human being – NOT as a subject of the federal government – to help them find a way to get pie.
We’re Americans, and we never ask others to give us pie. We make pie.
