All my adult life, and for the decades when I was deeply involved in politics, I knew one simple thing about government and business.
At last, and for the first time, I heard it from a president of the United States. A truth that only Donald Trump can say publicly and clearly. He said this in Poland on July 6th, this year.
“Finally, on both sides of the Atlantic, our citizens are confronted by yet another danger — one firmly within our control. This danger is invisible to some but familiar to the Poles: the steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people. The West became great not because of paperwork and regulations but because people were allowed to chase their dreams and pursue their destinies.”
Of the three or four great truths about life, this is one. The others are the need for meritocracy which can not thrive with the presence of an hereditary elite, the 2nd amendment and the right to self defense and the power of openness.
