On his radio show today, Dennis Prager said: “The dominant idea at the Republican convention was self-reliance. All the stories were of people surmounting adversity and becoming a success. The Democrats have stories about people who are suffering and need government help. Republicans have stories about people who were suffering and worked their tails off and found some success.”
“Polls show that conservatives are happier than liberals. I’d argue that it is because conservatives are more into self-reliance.”
“People are happier when they rely on themselves. Why do people fear being incapacitated? Because then you have to rely on others.”
“How can you argue that relying on the state will make you happier? It can’t.”
