Over the last 225 years, the promise of America was rooted in the principle of opportunity, which transformed the world. Now, the country is in a unique crisis.

The result is too many are trapped in government dependency, in despair, and without a way out. That is a prescription for a loss of liberties and freedoms as some in our government embrace equal outcomes and throughout the American principle of equal opportunity – it’s secret name is “equity.”
