Summary

This quote suggests that America's prosperity is derived from the hard work and ambition of its people. It argues that criticizing or undermining the notion of success diminishes the motivation for individuals to strive for excellence.

As a result, the ability to support those in need would be compromised, as a substantial portion of resources would not be available.
