Individual Responsibility

America was founded on the concept of Individual Freedom, self-determination, free markets and a Society based on the more useful to society you are, the more you are allowed to take from society, IOW, Capitalism.

Societies are either growing, in decline or sometimes static.

Filling a 'Need' in a growing society with goods or services, will result in being rewarded and those who cannot find a way to be useful to society, can expect little in return.

Whether supplying goods or services (labor), reward is based on quality and responsibility of those Individuals who are contributing goods or services.

A Capitalistic system naturally rewards success and responsibility and in 'Effect' punishes those Individuals who are NOT responsible with little reward.

The most menial jobs are rewarded handsomely, if that Individual works hard and provides quality and is dependable.

Liberal Progressives (Marxists) view this as grossly unfair, because they 'Feel' that no Individual could possibly contribute more to society than another - after all they state 'All Men are Created Equal', thus all 'Outcomes' should be equal.

This thinking has spawned many methods (Communism, Socialism, Liberalism, ObamUnism) to bring about 'Social Justice' economically, with the Government being Central to referee and 'Redistribute the Wealth'.

These systems naturally reward failure and lack of responsibility and in 'Effect' punishes those Individuals who are responsible with little reward.

Lofty thinkers like Barack Obama state "Redistribution of Wealth will give those that are behind, a Chance to Catch up', when in reality it brings about a lack of initiative to all and a general degrading of Society in general.

Personal responsibility in decisions, actions and self-determination ‘will give those that are behind, a Chance to Catch up', NOT stealing from the responsible and giving the ill-gotten gains to the irresponsible.
