There is a great tug of war going on in society. The polarizing effects of our banking institutions has brought it to the fore front. Todays global economy can effect everything.
Not only our banking systems, but our very way of life.

Entrepreneurialism is founded on the premise of free thinking individuals. Merit, success,
hard work and individual prosperity is rewarded to those who maintain focus and discipline creating a venture that benefits all and the belief in unlimited wealth. That is the essence
of Capitalism. Capitalism allows free enterprise to take place and businesses to flourish.
It's value is simply based on one thing, the free voluntary judgment of the consumer.
Capitalism offers the freedom of choice.

There has been a slow erosion of Capitalism, a shift towards a more all inclusive system that "shares the wealth". The premise is based on the fact that there is a limited amount
of wealth to be shared in the world. It must be equally divided thus the work be equally
divided. There is no penalty for not meeting the minimum requirement and no reward for
individual merit. The mere idea of "shared wealth" minimizes the reward to the hard worker
and encourages a dulling of creativity. Now, if you were offered a job that told you no
matter what you do, you get paid. You don't get paid more or less than anyone else. There
is no additional pay for overtime, but you receive your benefits like everyone else. Sounds
secure doesn't it, sounds like an easy way to earn a paycheck. Sounds like Socialism.

Socialism is a utopian ideal that kills free enterprise. It stifles creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit. In Americas's Silicon Valley there were no new IPO's for the second quarter in what was once America's second industrial revolution. There was only One new IPO
in the third quarter. Clearly there is a slow down in the economic growth to put it mildly. Complicated tax codes and bureaucratic penalties for doing business in the United States has forced many Industries to outsource or outright leave for kinder shores.

The Internet is the last bastion for the free thinker, the maverick, the maker of dreams
that is the Entrepreneur. It is untouched by the bureaucracies of our governments. It offers unlimited wealth for those who are disciplined and work to create innovative opportunities.
It reaches every country, every shore, every nook and cranny where the fre*e thinker may
exist. Every day, a new dreamer is born ready to live the dream that we here in America
created in 1776. The world is a much smaller place with the innovation of the Internet; we
don't know where the next Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison or Bill Gates will
crop up. But as long as the Internet remains the realm of the Entrepreneur, they will be found, cultivated and grown. Capitalism is the hope and dream of many around the world searching for freedom. Wealth and prosperity for the individual IS possible as long as we keep this beacon
of light burning strong.
