"Equality" is Not an Entitlement to a Free Ride

"All men are created equal" does not mean they get an equal amount of stuff through government mandates. It means "equal" in opportunity and in the eyes of the law; all mean have an equal opportunity to succeed or fail at any particular endeavor. It does not mean that the government is to spread the wealth so that everyone gets an equal home, food, clothing, car, household goods or healthcare. As things stand the government already makes sure that almost everyone has a minimum level of food, clothing, shelter and healthcare at what is defined as the "poverty level".

After that, you are on your own in "the land of the free". This "free" does not mean free housing, free food, free college education, or free healthcare. Obama and the Liberal-Progressive-Socialists-Leftists (whatever name they are hiding behind this year) do not seem to grasp these concepts of "equal" and "free".
