“It is an oft-repeated axiom that a person can learn a whole lot abouta society by how it treats its poor; but just as much may be learnedby looking at how that same society treats its rich. Indeed, the economicfuture of the poor—and our nation—will be determined in the coming decades by how we treat the people in this country who create great wealth. It will be determined by our understanding of theso-called rich and by our need to foster and protect this minority oftrue wealth creators.”

“We were born a nation of entrepreneurs. That is why so manypeople came to this country from so many different nations and culturesaround the globe. The entrepreneur sees the opportunity, takesaction, and successfully learns from the experience. They go on tocreate wealth. They become part of that demographic that is called“the rich.” They, not the government, drive the economy and createjobs. Only a mind with an envious, greedy perspective would considerpunitively taxing the rich as a viable solution to our fiscal miasma.This is a solution springing from the fount of ignorance and deemedwise only by fools.”

“I believe that to create real wealth one must be willing to abandonone’s limited thinking, remove the boundaries around our abundance,and stop outlining how it is to appear in our lives. Remember not tocreate boundaries and remember not to define the outcome. Mostimportantly, stop letting people who are motivated by jealousy andenvy dictate what your limitations are.”

“I strongly believe that the best economic policyfor any administration is the one that seeks to produce more entrepreneurs,not just more minimally educated college graduates withnowhere to go. Nothing against recent college graduates, but manyof today’s best universities are no longer providing the basics of aclassical liberal education.That is why the single most important economic issue of ourtime—and one that impacts the poor and middle class alike—will behow we treat the entrepreneurs and wealth creators among us, fromboth the government and the private-sector viewpoints.”

“There is a major difference between theoretical knowledge andexperiential knowledge. Academics think they know how the economyshould work; successful business owners know how the economy doeswork. They have been there and done it. Our government should beturning to those who have experiential knowledge when it comes tosolving our fiscal problems. They would realize that many of theircurrent policies may sound good but don’t work in the real worldand must be abandoned. They would spend less and live within theirmeans. They would be promoting the creation of more entrepreneursand business owners, instead of hiring more bureaucrats, consultingmore academics, and enlisting more lawyers to harass and prosecutethe true wealth creators of this nation.”

“Never let yourself be pushed around--but treat the good people great.”

“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.”
