Envy is a destructive force that undermines society for it doesn’t engender growth or progress but is a bureaucratization of society to enforce a false equality of results. America was designed and still is considered a land of opportunity, but there has been a debate on what is equality. Do we have an equality of opportunity, or do we strive for equality of results?

What do Republicans need to do to deal with the Democratic strategy? The first goal is to nominate a winning candidate, but that goes without saying, or should. There are other things to do that need to be done.
