“History has shown time and time again thatthere is no such thing as all things being equal. That is why Jeffersonwrote that our inalienable rights were life, liberty, and the pursuit ofhappiness. Nothing is guaranteed in life, especially happiness.”

“We are today engaged in a war. It is an economic war over oursovereignty as human beings with inalienable rights to life, liberty, andthe pursuit of happiness. The “pursuit of happiness” means the rightto create wealth through our labor and to enjoy the fruits thereof.The battle now is over who has the moral, the ethical, and the legalright to the fruits of our labor. Are we to be free, or are we to beslaves? Just whose money is it anyway?”


“The Boston Consulting Group recently released a study showing thatthere were 5.2 million households in America that could be classifiedas millionaires.1 I would love to see a candidate for national office,especially president, come out and announce that his platform wassquarely oriented toward creating wealth, that in 8 to 10 years wewould have 50 million millionaires in America.”


“One of the advantages of living in a constitutional federal republicis that we have the ability, if not the duty, as citizens to repair orreplace those acts of legislation under which we have agreed to live.We must act when it has become evident that said legislationno longer serves us as a people or advances the principles uponwhich this nation was founded, one of these being “the pursuit ofhappiness,” which may only be secured through wealth creation.If it burdens the debt obligation of the government, it cannotbe creating wealth. If it does not advance the cause of regainingAmerican competitive dominance in the global marketplace, it is notcreating wealth. If legislation and regulation were proposed thattaught people how to fish instead of providing fish, then the unemployedwould find a way to create jobs for each other. Wealthcreation is mankind’s natural objective when given the opportunityand the tools.”

Over thepast 100 years, the game has been rigged, slowly and piecemeal atfirst, always in the name of serving the greater good, preventing thenext bubble or providing greater transparency and security. It is as ifthe American people are suffering from battered spouse syndrome; thepoliticians, the greedy bankers, and the Fed all lie to us while theysteal our wealth and our liberty. Every time we call them on it, theypromise to never do it again if we’ll just give them one more chance.So we let it slide and then act shocked when they do it to us again.Maybe we should have our collective head examined.”


“The only thing that is or should be equal in the creation of wealthis the opportunity to participate. Everything else is naturally and rightfullydependent on personal and often exclusively inherent advantagesand disadvantages. The imagined outcomes and side benefits areimpossible to guarantee. The shared human experience should havetaught us, by any objective standard, that making a mirage your focuswill undermine your chances of finding gold.”


“Often in life we forget the things we should remember and remember the things we should forget.”
