What makes America great?
President-elect Obama and I disagree on a few things. I think Obama has a great deal of character. I just hope he makes a good American president.
Democrats like to speak of the wage-earners in our country as if they are what makes our country great. I believe that wage-earners make our country strong, but they are not the source of America's greatness.
Perhaps I am partial to entrepreneurs, but I believe innovation is what makes our country great. The ability for someone to follow their dream and control their own destiny is the stuff of greatness.
Innovators, problem-solvers, and dreamers create jobs, products, and services. I understand the importance of the middle-class and wage earner. I consider myself to be both at the moment.
The Democrats belief in universal health care, increased taxes for many small businesses, and an overall semi-socialistic mindset may hamper the innovations that entrepreneurs come up with in the next few years.
I, for one, hope and pray this does not happen. I am going to be optimistic about Obama and hope the innovator's climate somehow improves rather than think we are in for stormy weather.
