Quote: equal outcome or equal opportunity

What I’ve seen is a real divergence in world views between the President and his party and where most of us as conservatives are……. If you hear them speak it’s always about everyone must pay their fair share and I think the difference is we believe everyone should have a fair shot. It really is a difference between whether you think government is in place to ensure equal outcomes or whether we should as elected officials try to promote the situation where everyone has equal opportunity to go and earn the outcome.

~ House majority leader Eric Cantor

    1. Hi Iceberg,

      Most politicians are. But I thought that was a fair summing up of the ideological differences between left and right. The one seeks equal outcomes while the other seeks equal opportunity.
