The United State is a country like most countries that are littered with entrepreneurs. What separate The U.S.A from the rest of the world, is how entrepreneurial ism is en-braced within it boarders.

Let me briefly explain. The United States, as most have come to realized, formed an economic system based on capitalism and encourages innovation, private ownerships and profits.

Entrepreneurial-ism is a respectable profession. It should never be condemn or looked upon as an evil predator on society as some would want to. There are some whom have forgotten that it is the entrepreneurs that have taken the risk, both financial and physically, to propel this nation to it greatness.

Politicians, with all there noble ideas, cannot save this economy. It is well proven from the end of the American Revolution, through the Civil War, WWWI, WWWII and including the great depression, it has been the entrepreneurs who has been the last line of defense against poverty and starvation, and when the chips were down, it's the entrepreneurs who take care of things. Unfortunately, we became a society that believes some politician in red tights is coming from a distant planet and going to fix our ailing economy. "NOT true! Politicians don't save economies. Politicians redistribute and regulate(strangulate)" everything they touch.

Moreover, there are some who don't appreciated the endeavors of the entrepreneurs and want to demonized them. The next time you spend your evening listening to a politicians speak remember the words of a Politician is like a hole in the ground and a liar at the entrance.

I don't dislike politicians, I just don't trust their judgment most times.
In a speech titled "Citizenship in a Republic" Theodore Roosevelt laments about his feelings about critics in the press. Politicians in my mind are very similar to press critics.

So I leave you with this passage of President Roosevelt speech. The passage is a good analogy of entrepreneurial-ism.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

To your success!
