Don't remove the incentive to achieve

Equality is a myth. The local government and federal government have forgotten this fact.

I am certain, anyone that knows me will agree, I cannot play basketball well enough to earn tens of millions of dollars playing it. No government program can make my income equal to pro basketball players, unless they take away income from high achievers. When you do this, you remove the incentive to achieve.

Nothing good will come from punishing the very people that make our world, and our country, great. When government tries to force equal outcomes, they take away freedom. The doctrine of socialism needs to be re-defeated. There is no common ground between freedom (capitalism) and tyranny (socialism). Compromise freedom and you fall back to the very tyranny we fled.
