In fact, most enterprises are built on a dream and end up losing money. Yes, entrepreneurs usually desire material rewards. But the satisfaction from creating an enterprise or product that will make a positive contribution to the world is also an important factor.

Religious conservatives should be particularly wary of the statist temptation. He didn't say that it was their employers' responsibility. Or their co-workers' responsibility.
