Charlie Maxwell Political Belief Statement

Charlie Maxwell Political Belief Statement

As an American citizen I believe that the government should help to serve the people to the best of its ability in order to try and level the playing field. Each American is born into a different level of privilege. I believe it is the government's job to provide every young American with the opportunity to thrive. Some Americans receive head starts, the government must aid the less fortunate in order to decrease the gap between starting points, starting with education. Capitalism is fueled by competition. Without the aid of the government, those not born into privilege are playing in an already rigged game. This responsibility falls not only on the American government, but on the American citizens with the wealth. Every American should have the right to employment, the right to free education, and the right to pursue the American Dream, because without these things, there is no United States of America.
