Democrats begin with a misconception or flawed premise that diversity
in government and in industry is always good. This may derive from
flaws within the capitalist economic system.
It does no good to
elect or appoint people to run a nation or enterprise based upon their
ethnic differences. Individuals of minority status bear the burden of
offering something of value to the majority culture. If they have
nothing good to offer, they should not be given a free handout. That
only results in dependency.
It is the responsibility of the
people to secure peace, tranquility and happiness. Government at the
local level can always offer assistance for people genuinely trying to
help themselves. This is subsidiarity. Simply sending out more welfare
checks doesn't solve anything. Federal and state government must
therefore be reduced to only handling problems too complex to be
handled at the local level.
The reform of health care is a local issue, not state or federal.
