Nothing more important than education? Creativity. This is still the land of opportunity. Thousands of Americans with little formal education have become millionaires. With a system that allows people to take a chance on an idea, to roll up their sleeves, work eighteen hours a day to get going, hire good people, pay them well, we get industrious companies like Pelican Parts that provide goods and services that I open up my wallet for because they make my life better.
In the future America will.....
1- either recognize what makes this country work and continue to be a world leader.
-or-
2- decide that equal opportunity is not fair, equal results are. And to acheive equal results we must regulate! It's not fair when someone has more than another, so we must play Robin Hood. Sounds nice in a pie-in-the-sky-sort of way, but the result is killing the human spirit to excell. Killing creativity. Killing true opportunity. Reducing this once great country to third world status as opening markets like China discover the incredible power of creativity.
