On the primacy of risk.
1. Businessmen, entrepreneurs, are the modern equivalent of the explorers or adventurers of old. They take the chances that move society forward.
Why dont we have a special holiday for the small business owners, the ones who do most of the hiring in our nation, who dont have set hours of work, or set salaries, but who put in whatever number of hours is necessary or reinvest their profits to keep the business going who pay double the Social Security taxes, and their own health benefits
Not even a postal stamp in their honor?

I lived for about a decade, on and off, in France and later moved to the United States. Nobody in their right mind would give up the manifold sensual, aesthetic and gastronomic pleasures offered by French savoir-vivre for the unrelenting battlefield of American ambition were it not for one thing: possibility.
You know possibility when you breathe it. For an immigrant, it lies in the ease of American identity and the boundlessness of American horizons after the narrower confines of European nationhood and the stifling attentions of the European nanny state, which has often made it more attractive not to work than to work. High French unemployment was never much of a mystery."
