“I believe that the free enterprise system is the greatest engine of prosperity the world's ever known. I believe in self-reliance and individual initiative and risk-takers being rewarded. But I also believe that everybody should have a fair shot and everybody should do their fair share and everybody should play by the same rules, because that's how our economy's grown. That's how we built the world's greatest middle class.” WorldShouldBelieveSelfPlayIndividualI BelieveKnownClassEconomyRiskShareMiddleShotsBuiltFairsShould HaveProsperityI Believe InEnterpriseMiddle ClassEnginesInitiativeSelf RelianceRelianceFree EnterpriseFair Share Author:Barack Obama
“We preach free enterprise capitalism. We believe in it, we give our lives in war for it, but the closest most of us come to profiting from it are a few miserable shares of stock in a company that doesn't pay large enough dividends to keep a small mouse in cheese. The truth is, most of us are job serfs. At a time when invested capital returns 20 to 30 percent, we have no capital. We only have our wages and salaries, and a debt so high that something like 20c on every dollar we earn is spent to pay off what we owe.” GivingBelieveWarEnoughWisdomJobsPoliticsPayCompanyEconomyOur LivesShareReturnTruth IsPercentCapitalismDollarsDebtMiserableLiberalismEnterpriseClosestCheeseMiceWagesSalaryDividendsFree EnterpriseSerfs Book:Left at the post Source: Left at the post

“Our Founding Fathers well understood that concentrated power is the enemy of liberty and the rights of man. They knew that the American experiment in individual liberty, free enterprise and republican self-government could succeed only if power were widely distributed. And since in any society social and political power flow from economic power, they saw that wealth and property would have to be widely distributed among the people of the country.
