We are equal where our respective opportunities are optimized.
This locates self and identity appropriately, without -isms and/or gender-defining bigotry.
This negates the rapidly accelerating historicist definition of equality, meaning in all original states and forever.
This is the fabulist and anti-competitive dream of western socialists, as well as unifying tendency of fascists and communists to usurp opportunity according to National Socialism and its fetish-prone dictates.
It preserves individualism and liberty, establishing our country in its rightful light.
One of manifest destiny to upskill as many workers as possible in our precariously divided nation.
Who said we ran out of new frontiers - c'mon Monroe - when we haven't explored the microcosm, or made it back to the moon?
It in no way nullifies corporatism, coordinated action, or other capitalist methods.
We are equal where our respective opportunities are optimized.
WANT TO SOUND PRESIDENTIAL?
THEN CHANGE THE NARRATIVE.
Who can legitimately lay claim to this saying and its implications.
These are the precious words reserved for The Entrepreneur, the only one who can ask, "what is dignity, do you want your dignity?"
Unhappy Americans, the bulk supporting Trump, want dignity, and there are few more fundamental requirements; for it, some would sacrifice food.
Collective bias differs from the wisdom of crowds; the greater the numbers of people sharing a belief, the deeper the bias.
The only way to beat the former president is to pivot off the same bias with a slogan that routs the left and vitalizes the moderately conservative to right wing.
The Nepo-Entrepreneur and The Entrepreneur are accurate constructs.
The former avoids consequences while the latter must be accountable to the goal and discipline in achieving milestones along the way; early rising, getting in the flow based on evidence and ideation, testing, distributing, winning demand, and leveraging supply.
Rare people create the systems others inhabit for their own shelter, survival, and in 2023, political gain.
Opponents live in these old systems, established in periods one third of voters don't recognize, e.g., those at Shabtai on Friday nights.
Another critical block expresses collective depression through conspiracy theory, a massive opiate for perceived inequities and broken promises.
At best, it's a palliative.
Truth is that the base is unknowingly addicted to the real toxin, statism, and welfare so rooted to be an entitlement, deeply coveted by large percentages of certain states, where lassitude substitutes for stability and the absence of self-care impairs dependably productivity.
The president we deserve cannot be a part of that system, or any in which s/he has no material hand creating.
One's signature move damaged institutions by placing sycophants, hacks, and/or octogenarians in leadership positions, ensuring ineffective service to the American people.
The ideal next president will finish what needs to be dismantled and significantly improve institutions that correspond to the message.
Which takes us back to square one: The Entrepreneur is uniquely more relevant to the device, a message that's truly American.
We are equal where our respective opportunities are optimized.
Most candidates are leaching off prior systems, none of their own making and many past their Sell-By date.
Impugn-by dates for Nikki Haley are, as well, and opponents need to aim from the shoulder with a resonating message.
We are equal where our respective opportunities are optimized.
This is aspirational, a goal, what we Americans respond to.
Certainly, more achievable than paying down the deficit, if carrying out the mission means incorporating the majority of eligible workers.
This means whatever the best candidate can infuse in each word, to tell her/his and America's story.
This de-constructs and avoids historicism and its destructive long-tail, or the decades-long narrative artifice-as-argument favoring select identities.
Perhaps the most effective invention in the message is negating teleology underpinning the Left's doctrine of equality as an anti-racist phenotype.
We are equal where our respective opportunities are optimized.
The sentence structure prevents hostile takeover or manipulation.
