Historically in America who has been president or your senator, etc has meant very little in reality.   What has mattered is how well individuals have designed their lives.  The two biggest things that have enabled this for the most people are… Land Ownership (control of real property) Entrepreneurship (control of your own production of value)   In some ways the place we live is so different from the nation Americans of the early 1800s lived in that you’d think they were different worlds.  Yet the power of entrepreneurship and land ownership has remained fairly constant.  While I don’t expect that … Continue reading →

Yesterday I stated that we are about to in effect go into the middle of a financial war.  I am not sure the analogy was fully understood it wasn’t so much about fighting the battle but more about the way that even if good is the end result how many can be harmed in the process.
