Harrison Bergeron should be required reading. It’s a short story by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., and it helps show why personal responsibility and achievement should remain more important than government programs. The government should protect freedom of opportunity and a level playing field, but it should not enforce equality of achievement or a level outcome.
The government should be like a referee – ensuring that everyone plays fairly, but not making every game end in a tie nor making sure the teams are evenly matched. So be wary whenever you hear anyone, especially a politician, speak favorably about redistribution of wealth.
“For the Scripture says, ‘YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING,’ and ‘The laborer is worthy of his wages.’
– 1 Timothy 5:18
