In America, we've shifted from self-reliance to relying on the government. It's time to celebrate those who take charge of their lives and look to their community for solutions. While some people work to live, entrepreneurs define themselves by their work. The focus should be on personal growth and value creation, rather than a constant obsession with fairness and victimization. Candidates like Chris Christie and Vivek offer a refreshing perspective on taking responsibility and not relying on handouts. Both left and right have valid critiques of victimization, but we need policies that work better for the working class and individual agency to improve circumstances. It's time for policymakers and people to meet halfway.
