This nation was founded on the principle of wealth creation. As
a young Henry Clay said in the House of Representatives in 1812,
“It wealth creation is a passion as unconquerable as any with which
nature has endowed us. You may attempt to regulate—you cannot
destroy it.” That is supposed to be the federal government’s primary objective.
It is supposed to promote the creation of an environment conducive
to the creation of wealth—not job creation, not bailouts, not subsidies,
not expansion of the federal bureaucracy, and not providing lifetime
support to those who choose not to take advantage of the innumerable
opportunities that exist in this nation for them to create a better,
more productive life for themselves.

However, I am an optimist and I strongly believe in the bright future of the international Olympic movement.

There was a time when all we had was black baseball.
