Capitalism in America
In the United States of America, opportunity is on every corner. There are mom and pop businesses opening their doors everyday. These small companies are the back bone of Capitalism. I am sure many of you have heard of “Freedom of Speech”. Rarely have people been introduced to the concept of Free Enterprise and Capitalism. Let us take a look at the Heart Beat of America.
Free enterprise or Free Market directly correlates with Capitalism. The business world thrives in today’s free market. There is no limit to how much wealth you can create. Unlike other countries who are stagnate due to their government & tight regulations, We as Americans are free to grow our businesses as big and profitable as we desire. Americans are known to have a Capitalist Society.
Our survival is dependent upon Capitalism to keep us as the leading nation of the free world. If our economy remains strong than we are able to invest tax dollars into our military programs. Having a strong military force to protect our freedom to live as Americans is of the utmost importance. This freedom allows us to use our creativity to invent new products such as computers, cars, and different types of energy.
Other countries recognize that Americans produce and innovate new products year in and year out. China has invested a great deal in our country so that their economy may be stabilized. Even though they are communist nation, they are aware that it takes a Capitalist infrastructure to make a nation economically strong. To their demise, China’s government rather have power over their people and retain a weak economy rather than allow for a Democratic Society.
Our founding fathers discovered America and fought for our freedom and liberties over 200 years ago. They allowed Venture Capitalist to start businesses to enable America to grow. People from all over the world came to the United States seeking wealth and Rich’s. Some came to enjoy the freedom of life and the pursuit of happiness. As you dig deeper into American history, you can see that Capitalism is the core DNA of every American.
Capitalist have evolved over the past 200 years, for more businesses are on the Internet than ever before. They are able to create wealth & Rich’s as they sleep. With hard good sites being the biggest money makers, others are using affiliate marketing due to the low start up cost. As in the days of our beginnings as Americans, The Internet has sparked the hunger for great wealth and Rich’s as did the gold rush of the 1900s. It is these new beginnings with the Internet that allow Capitalism to thrive as we enter the 21st century.
We stand strong as “One Nation Under God Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All”. Somewhere in there, Free Enterprise and Capitalism should have been mentioned. If not for the Free Market, we would not be able to enjoy the lives we live today. I say to all who wish to thrive in America, become a Capitalist and bring forth thy fruits which have made us the greatest nation in the history of the world.
