This Man Can Show You How to Create Wealth

February 19, 2013 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Senator Rand Paul gave the Tea Party’s response to President Obama’s 2013 State of the Union address. While the president puts government in every piece of your business, Dr. Paul wants it out of your business. You can’t have a nation of prosperity built on redistribution of wealth. It’s time for big government to get out of the way. The system is broken. Dr. Paul’s ideas take us in a new direction that is most aligned with the Constitution.

I speak to you tonight from Washington, D.C. The state of our economy is tenuous but our people remain the greatest example of freedom and prosperity the world has ever known.

People say America is exceptional. I agree, but it’s not the complexion of our skin or the twists in our DNA that make us unique. America is exceptional because we were founded upon the notion that everyone should be free to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.

***

We are in danger, though, of forgetting what made us great. The President seems to think the country can continue to borrow $50,000 per second. The President believes that we should just squeeze more money out of those who are working.

The path we are on is not sustainable, but few in Congress or in this Administration seem to recognize that their actions are endangering the prosperity of this great nation

***

What America needs is not Robin Hood but Adam Smith. In the year we won our independence, Adam Smith described what creates the Wealth of Nations.

He described a limited government that largely did not interfere with individuals and their pursuit of happiness.

All that we are, all that we wish to be is now threatened by the notion that you can have something for nothing, that you can have your cake and eat it too, that you can spend a trillion dollars every year that you don’t have.
