Happy New Year - 2010

Welcome to my blog dedicated to free market capitalism. It's become apparent to me over the last decade that our long proven system of business, finance and trade is coming under attack as never before.

Having been brought up in a long line of free market capitalists and supporters of the system, I feel compelled to contribute to it's survival and spend as much time as I can in securing its future in America.

I dedicate this blog to Brian S. Wesbury, Chief Economist at First Trust Advisors, LP and Economics Editor for The American Spectator. Reading his book "It's Not As Bad As You Think" published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. has sparked a desire in me to help as many other Americans as I can to realize how blessed we are to live in this country and benefit from this system of finance and business.

I completely agree that changes to laws and policies are an ongoing process and no system is perfect. I only seek to assure future generations that the free market system be left intact and viable for their use as it has proven itself superior to all others in world history for one simple reason:

Capitalism provides personal dignity.

I hope you like what you read.
