The American Dream is rooted in equal opportunity. There is no such thing as equal outcomes. That requires confiscation. Opportunity is democratic.

Capitalism is about opportunity for everyone. Everyone.

Socialism is about confusing attempts at equal outcomes for the little people. The folks at the top still want and get power and wealth. They intend to ration and control the outcomes for everyone.

I appreciate your lack of political correctness.

Yes, of course. Government serves its rightful owners when it steals the least possible amount of their wealth. Money in the hands of the government is diminished by the inefficiencies of collection, waste, fraud and corruption.

The smallest competent government is the obligation of the government.

Governments do not create jobs. Entrepreneurs and business persons do. More money available to these folks means more jobs. That is certainly true in the leadership lab known as Texas.

Be well.

I’d go even less politically correct and say that wealth creation as a duty includes the duty of paying the lowest possible amount of taxes. You have to follow the rules or stop playing the game, but as long as you are playing by the rules, you need to minimize your taxes. Wealth in your hands in better taken care than in any politician’s hands.

The simple fact that we are discussing this in the terms we are shows how bad the situation has become. The notion that it rises to the level of a crime is absurd and psychologically troubling.

Employees are folks you are taking care of. Don’t ever think employees lay in bed thinking about your business. They don’t. They’re not entrepreneurs. No bad there, just truth.

If you can create a company and get the efforts of all to align behind your vision and share the wealth, you are taking people where they would never get by themselves.

The Boss has handed out some huge checks to his folks. Checks they would never, ever have gotten absent his Vision and alignment of everyone’s efforts to achieve that Vision.

The Founding Fathers did just that. No George Washington, the entrepreneurial genius behind the execution of making our Nation — no US of A.

You are never a sucker. You are a conqueror. Making the world a better place and making a buck in the process.

I like the idea of wealth creation as a duty. It’s very convoluted that somehow the era of political correctness led so many to view it as almost criminal.

The one for me that is still a sticking point is taking on employees (vs outsourcing/contracting) in an environment that seems to have a war on wealth creation. Makes me feel like a sucker. WWBRCD?
