A: It is hard-working individuals, not government, who built America and made it the most prosperous country in the history of the world.
B: And the only way the United States can continue its present-day prosperity is for government to get out of the way and allow those same individuals to continue moving the country forward.

Part A is 200% true. There is no doubt that freedom made us what we became - the most prosperous and powerful country in the world.

Part B is partially true, the exception being "present day prosperity". While this may apply at the individual level for some, the fact remains that for those 100+ years of socialism, and particularly the past 54 years after the abandonment of capitalism in our country (marked by the introduction of fake currency and the abandonment of the gold standard by the Johnson administration in 1965-68, later ratified by Nixon), not only are normal people worse off, but the country's financial condition, as per the Treasury Secretary's own words in the 2018 US Financial Statements, is "unsustainable". Being $23 TRILLION in the hole does that to a country. We are now the greatest debtor nation in the history of the world, and the consequence of that will not be pretty.
We WERE a prosperous nation. We WERE a prosperous people. But the abandonment of capitalism and the embracing of socialism changed that. We screwed up. We let it happen. Now, we'll pay the price.
