Rick Santorum gave a speech at the Detroit Economic Club on Thursday where he stated his position on income inequality. Here’s what he said:
"There is income inequality in America. There always has been and hopefully, and I do say that, there always will be. Why? Because people rise to different levels of success based on what they contribute to society and to the marketplace -- and that's as it should be. We shouldn't have a society that has a President who envies or creates class warfare or envy between one group of people and another. We should celebrate like we do in the small towns all across America as you do here in Detroit. You celebrate success. You build statues and monuments. Buildings, you name after them. Why? because in their greatness and innovation, they created wealth, but they created wealth for everybody else. And that's a good thing, not something to be condemned in America."
I applaud Rick on what he said as I don’t think there is a clearer explanation of the choice Americas will be making this November. It’s a choice between Capitalism and Socialism -- nothing more, nothing less. If you need to know if Socialism is successful or not, just look at what’s happening in Europe with Greece’s collapsing economy. But if you’re one of the hard core Obama loyalist, and you want true income equality, that’s simply Communism. For those who don’t remember, it was installed as the economic system in Russia in 1917 when they became the Soviet Union, and well, most of us know how that worked out. I hope Americans think about this when they go to the polls in the fall. We will either have an America where you are an economic slave to the government, or you have an America where regardless of who you are, if you work hard, you can have success, and with success, god forbid, you will find yourself at the upper end of the income inequality ladder.
