I love July 4th. It reminds me of why I live in America. As I watch the news of our country’s economy crumble, it would be easy to grumble about our country and think about moving to another place. Although I have not been proud of many of the things this country has done especially over the last four years, America, in my opinion is still a wonderful place to live and do business in the world. It isn’t perfect, but it is at the lead of other systems that are out there.
I still love my country because:
1. You are free to do what you want for work. You are not assigned a job, you seek it out. I know there are economic limitations for all of us, but no one tells you what you have to do.
2. You can start a business still with a minimum of government restriction or regulation. Service businesses can be started with a small amount of money. As we know, more people start businesses during tough time and there are more resources available than ever before.
3. We all have an opportunity to learn and better ourselves. There are plenty of ways to train and educate yourself using public and private resources in person or over the web.
So on this Independence Day, I thank my country for the freedom and still the security it gives me.
Do you still love doing business in this country?
