Ultra-Successful Entrepreneur Explains Job Creation
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

Thanks for the post, Analytics. For me, the statistic that stood out the most was that if median household income had kept pace with the economy, it would be $92,000 a year instead of $50,000.
The economy is a pump that needs to be primed, and in order to prime the pump you need consumers that are able and willing to buy.
