This piece from buffettologist.com sums it up.
"On the side of a country road a few months ago stood a young farmer with a sign advertising apples he had grown that were for sale for a mere five dollars a bushel. To the casual passer-by this young farmer might have gone un-noticed, just another person trying to make his way through the turbulent economic times of the last few years, but—in my mind at least—what this farmer really represents is a businessman at the most basic level. This young farmer is a person who created (grew) something that people want, and is now directly selling the fruits of his labors—at a great price too—directly to his customers. Not only is this what the exchange of goods is really about, but, in my opinion, this farmer should also be viewed as a classic entrepreneur."The answer to most American problems (if not most world problems) are six: education, entrepreneurialism, caring, sharing, self responsibility/determination, and small government. A government has never created wealth or liberty... only free people can do that.
And no, I'm not a Republican. The Party of Lincoln ceased to exist years ago.
