On Tuesday evening this week, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) gave a speech, fittingly, at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. America faces challenges even in excess of what Reagan's America faced in 1964 under President Johnson's government expansion, and Rubio delivered an equally scathing speech against the liberal vision for America, and articulated a vision of Conservatism that may very well last another 45 years. "Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about allowing people to catch up," he said.
"The free enterprise system does not leave people behind. People are poor and people are left behind because they do not have access to the free enterprise system, because something in their lives or in their community has denied them access to the free enterprise system."
The poor cannot overcome the cost of fees, rules and regulation, to become their own entrepreneurs. That is not what the USA is all about. It has become a poor and rich nation, with the federal government wiping out the middle class on purpose.
Your right this is not what the US is all about, and i think most Americans are waking up. Federal Government seems to be holding our middle class back. Why. I am lukewarm on Rubio, maybe this will change don't know.
The "something that holds the poor up" is the self serving business and investment system limiting access to the market. Conservatism is about establishing and protecting a small very sucessful business class for any and all competition or risk.
The rest is just earwash designed to bilk the fools out of the rest of their money even if they don't have very much.
