I could not think of a more fitting time to honor and pay tribute to Ireland, a country that has embraced a free market and low taxes in order to create peace and prosperity. When people make money, start businesses and express multi talents in entrepreneur attitudes people lay down their arms, they get together to embrace their differences and stop bombing and killing each other. When people make money, they can embrace a better lifestyle and nothing can be more profound than for a country that truly has emerged from famine to prosperity beyond any stretch of the imagination. Countries watch on in bewilderment as Ireland has now created more millionaires than in any other European country sparked by the new found drive within when people see what life has to offer, when they can feed their children and send their sons and daughters off to colleges and Universities based not on government handouts but on the fruits of their own labors.
When Ireland took to handshaking instead of bombing they began to look at their economy and decided to stimulate it through lowering taxes, relieving high tariffs and thus attracting foreign investment within Ireland. You hear all this talk about how the U.S. is investing money in India and China however the American companies invest more direct money into Ireland than they do in India and China combined.
I am half Irish and have a deep pride in my ancestry. I am honored to take this time of the month in which we celebrate St Patrick's day to honor the amazing progress of this small country that is accomplishing great things. Many Americans are in love with Ireland and thus the tourist industry has flourished. There are new flights being added to Ireland from many parts of the U.S. To visit Ireland and bask in it's rich history is on many Americans vacation planning lists, those with Irish roots and also those without Irish roots. Of course, if you love golf, then this is the premier destination to test your skills. You can even rent out a Castle for you and your family to stay in for a few nights. Ancient romance coming to life amidst the modern conveniences Ireland relishes in today.
Ireland is a great model for all countries to look upon who are struggling with their markets and restraining free trade and free markets.
The one thing that above all the restriction of people to move freely and to express their talents and contributions to the society causes is extreme poverty which then results in fighting amongst each other from within. Nations who have fascist governments and even socialistic governments create apathy among their people. When one can not longer exersice their own agency as a result of some entity above them pushing them down it is no wonder they begin to fight about religion, economics and social models. No one can ever convince me that money doesn't matter. We see by living both sides of Ireland that this surely does happen. If you want fighting to stop in countries then teach them to farm and teach them to create their own businesses. Entrepreneurship is the awakening of one's abilities, talents and purpose. This is true freedom. As long as there are hand outs and the embracing of humiliating humankind with social programs that only perpetuate the complacency and loss of dignity; the end result is the loss of purpose and in that loss of purpose the people degrade themselves and feel worthless. When this happens life no longer matters and life is considered expendable over petty arguments and spontaneous rages.
There is a great lesson to be learned from Ireland's past and present, from their famine to their prosperity. Abundance has been introduced to Ireland's people and lucky clovers abound today in this beautiful green country. May we ever be grateful as Americans of our freedom to make our own choices. There is always a choice and here we live in the most abundant country in the whole entire world through which others countries model their markets after. Here you can start with nothing and make something out of yourself. Let us celebrate our love for our country and welcome Ireland into our fold.
Join in Celebrating St Patrick's Day with thoughts of gratitude for all that we have and all that we have to share with the world. Celebrate our freedom and our choices.
