In the course of a campaign speech on Monday, President Obama let slip a reference to his vision for government's role in the economy:
Contrast this with Paul Ryan's vision for government's role:
President Obama is right. This election presents a stark choice. Between "sharing the wealth" (which means only "destroying the wealth") or "building the wealth." Between statism and individual liberty. Between decline or prosperity. Between condemning the achiever--taxing him, ridiculing him, denying his achievement and saying, "You didn't build that,"--or praising the risk-taker, the entrepreneur, the capitalist who created the business and invented the product and hired the employees by the thousands and who made everyone wealthier in the process. Between a government on your back or a government that gets out of your way. Between socialism--rancid, sniping, griping, swiping, envious, petty, demoralizing and dehumanizing socialism--or freedom--self-advancing, horizon-expanding, limitless, dream-fulfilling, ennobling, uplifting, soul-perfecting and wealth-maximizing freedom.
You pick.
