Protecting vs. Providing Welfare

I do not know the guy speaking, but the sentiment of his speech I agree with. Specifically that our federal government is not responsible for providing a result, or specific quality of life, but rather to avoid impeding our ability to pursue the best opportunities we can find.

I predict that some will be upset by his reference to class warfare, fixing bayonets and charging. For a little perspective understand that many work very hard, take calculated risks (which is hard work if done correctly), and put our families through hardships in order to pursue, and hopefully profit, from opportunities we discover. It is very offensive to us when, after we have done all of this and finally reaping the fruit of our efforts, our gain is stolen from us and given to others. Taking from my family what we have worked to obtain and giving it to somebody else, no matter how needy they are, is wrong, always. I believe that it is important to help others, and I do. However, government bureaucrats and politicians seeking to buy votes from the entitlement minded masses are not likely to be efficient, effective, or unbiased in their efforts to "help".
