“The way we sell the idea of self reliance is by elevating the life of Frederick Douglass. As a slave, Douglass lived on entitlements. He ran away from slave master entitlements. He wanted his God-given right for self-rule. He wanted life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, and, because he used his talents, his God-given gifts, he created a better life for himself, his family and others. This is the role model.”
Tea party activist K. Carl Smith
