Bill Gates created and organized the greatest computer software company in the world. Microsoft employs thousands of highly paid, highly skilled professionals who make every personal computer come to life. Bill Gates made the mistake of serving the consumers and getting rich and now the anti-trust authorities are preparing to destroy Microsoft. Today, we punish our best corporations with discriminatory taxation, arbitrary regulations, and continuous slander from the political, artistic and academic communities. In spite of modern cultural trends, America should not despair.
Every new entrepreneur means hope for tomorrow.
For while America seems to have forgotten the moral and economic virtues of free enterprise, the rest of the world is just discovering them anew. We should rejoice in the prospect of free enterprise transforming the lives of our global family. Unlimited prosperity and opportunity allows every human to fulfill their deepest values in the peace of social harmony. Maybe in the next century, America will relearn that important lesson from our global neighbors. And maybe, just maybe, a greater vigilance for economic freedom will preserve the great spiritual treasure of entrepreneurship that is hidden within each of us.
