1. Creating a job is a compassionate thing to do.
2. Billions of dollars are paid by Free Enterprise when an entrepreneur owns a commercial building and pays property tax. (This helps local schools, police and Fire.)
3. The employer and employee are the backbone of Free Enterprise. Three’s a crowd so Government can sometimes get in the way.
4. Anyone with good work ethic and makes an honest effort can participate in Free Enterprise.
5. Free enterprise even provides for the unemployed. Businesses pay 100% of unemployment insurance.
6. Michael Jordon, the best basketball player ever, is often applauded because of his skills, Successful business people should be applauded too. We don’t take away from Jordon’s accomplishments; please don’t take away our successful accomplishments.
7. Free Enterprise is not free==Participants work hard to create jobs and pay by spending long hours away from their families working to be sure they can meet a payroll.
8. For every hour a person works in a Free Enterprise business a portion of their Social Security and Medicare taxes are paid by the business owner.
9. When Steve Jobs was 24 years old he told his girlfriend he was going to become a millionaire someday. Free Enterprise is for dreamers—don’t take that dream away or America’s future will be a nightmare.
10. After Steve Jobs died admirers laid flowers at his home. They respected him as a businessman and a participant in Free Enterprise.
THAT IS THE AMERICA I LOVE
