Bust your ass and get rich.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make a boatload of money. Pay your taxes. Lots of taxes. Hire people. Train people. Pay people. Spend money on rent, equipment, services. Pay more taxes.<\/p>\n

When you make a shitload of money. Do something positive with it. If you are smart enough to make it, you will be smart enough to know where to put it to work.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care what anyone says. Being rich is a good thing.<\/strong>\u00a0Not just in the obvious sense of benefiting you and your family, but in the broader sense.\u00a0 Profits are not a zero sum game. The more you make the more of a financial impact you can have.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not against government involvement in times of need. I am for recognizing that\u00a0 big public companies will\u00a0 continue to cut jobs in an effort to prop up stock prices, which in turn stimulates the need for more government involvement.\u00a0 Every cut job by the big companies extracts a cost on the American people in one way or another.<\/p>\n

Entrepreneurs are needed to create and grow companies to absorb those people in new jobs. If entrepreneurs don\u2019t create those jobs, the government ends up having to spend more money to help them one way or another.<\/p>\n

So be Patriotic. Go out there and get rich. Get so obnoxiously rich that when that tax bill comes , your first thought will be to choke on how big a check you have to write. Your 2nd thought will be \u201cwhat a great problem to have\u201d, and your 3rd should be\u00a0a recognition that in paying your taxes you are helping to support millions of Americans that are not as fortunate as you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In these times of \u201cThe Great Recession\u201d we shouldn\u2019t be trying to shift the benefits of wealth behind some curtain. We should be celebrating and encouraging people to make as much money as they can. Profits equal tax money. While some people might find it distasteful to pay taxes. I don\u2019t. I find it Patriotic.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying that the government\u2019s use of tax money is the most efficient use of our hard-earned capital. It obviously is not. In a perfect world, there would be a better option. We don\u2019t live in a perfect world. We don\u2019t live in a perfect time. We live in a time where the government plays a big role in an effort to help lead us out this Great Recession. That\u2019s reality.<\/p>\n

So I will repeat my point. Get out there and make a boatload of money. Enjoy the shit out your money. Pay your taxes.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the most Patriotic thing you can do.<\/p>\n
