ARTHUR C. BROOKS, THE BATTLE
PJ Anders Linder erinrar om Arthur C. Brooks och hans bok The Battle i SvD den 22 aug. Det riktigt stora med fri företagsamhet, menar Brooks, är inte att den ökar tillväxten, utan att den är oöverträffad i att skapa möjligheter att ta initiativ, utvecklas och göra ett gott dagsverke. Att värna företagandet mot byråkrati och överdriven beskattning är inte bara en god affär, det är också att värna om människors värdighet, sammanfattar PJAL.
Free enterprise is not simply an economic alternative. Free enterprise is about who we are as a people and who we want to be. It embodies our power as individuals and our independence from the government. In short, enterprise is an act of self-expression—a declaration of what we truly value—and a social issue for Americans.
When we reduce the idea of work to nothing more than a means of economic support, we strip it of its transcendental meaning in our lives. When we talk about business only as an economic engine, we forget that it can and should represent our values and give us a way to improve our world. And when we talk about entrepreneurship as nothing more than a method to attain economic growth, we miss what truly drives entrepreneurs and what (for the time being at least) makes America culturally different from the other nations of the world.
Varför bestraffas detta med beskattning? Varje beskattning är överdriven beskattning.
