Democratic Presidential hopeful and New York Senator Hillary Clinton told supporters during a speech today that we are “all in it together”, and fairness cannot possibly exist without the help and influence of the federal government.

Speaking in Manchester, New Hampshire, Clinton said "I prefer a 'we're all in it together' society," she said. "I believe our government can once again work for all Americans. It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none."

Clinton called the Bush administration's view of society one of “ownership” and “on your own”, while arguing a society that she supports includes a well-regulated “free market” and one that depends on government policies to produce a “fair” environment for all Americans.

"There is no greater force for economic growth than free markets. But markets work best with rules that promote our values, protect our workers and give all people a chance to succeed," she said. "Fairness doesn't just happen. It requires the right government policies."

Hillary Clinton fails to realize, of course, that a truly free society and one that lets the free market flourish is one void of undue government interference. It rejects the idea that government knows best and instead relies on the skills and determination of the people to provide for its existence.

Clinton depicts the typical big government leftist very well. A politician that believes fairness can only be derived from government intervention is a truly dangerous individual to lead any nation, especially one built on the guidelines of democracy and capitalism as the United States once was.
