About this Quote

This quote by Paul Ryan is asking us to consider the function of federal government in our lives. He is asking us to decide if the objective of federal government ought to be to offer level playing field for all Americans to take advantage of their lives, or if the federal government must be accountable for equalizing the results of individuals's lives. This is an essential concern to consider, as it will form the way we view the role of federal government in our society. It is essential to think about the implications of both alternatives, and to think of how each would affect our society. Eventually, it depends on us to decide which option our company believe is finest for our society.
