America Works Thanks to Business

One of my favorite quotes comes from a good friend who ran for Congress.

He campaigned with a memorable handout - a pin emblazoned with a concise reminder of his guiding philosophy: "America works thanks to business."

During this week of thanks, his refrain echoes in my mind.

America works thanks to business. Americans work thanks to business. American infrastructure works thanks to business. In our market system, business is the lifeblood of our economy. Those who herald new ideas, forge new paths, and employ our neighbors deserve our thanks.

So thank you, business community, for innovating, risking, employing, and investing our way to a stronger country. You have my respect and gratitude.
