I was born in New York City, grew up there, have family that
still live there and I have always had a place in my heart for NYC. But it has
become a cancer in this great republic. If this cancer is allowed to spread it
could take much of the country with it. The way to cut this cancer out is to
show the rest of the country that we as Americans no longer can accept the
demonization of free markets, freedom, and capitalism. The message must be
clear that if we hope to turn this country around we need to support and
promote the greatest economic system in the world.
Wall Street is the heart of capitalism. It is where the
world comes together to invest in the millions of ideas and organizations that
drive global wealth. The fact that it is in the heart of one of the most hostile
and socialist cities in the world give it the opportunity to start the reform
back to common sense. The newest Mayor of NYC is a socialist that campaigned on
destroying the wealth that built the great city of NY. He wants to punish
success and take the money from the people that earned it and give it to people
that did not.
The Governor of NY just declared there is no place in NY for
conservative Americans. The environment in NY is more like the Soviet Union
than the United States. It is time for all hard working, successful people and
institutions to move that success to a place where it is appreciated. There are
many states that would love to host these successful Americans, and if the
Stock Exchanges that are currently hosted on Wall Street want to protect the
future wealth of this country they should move on out. That’s right; it is time
to find a new location.
I think that Wall Street firms and financial institutions
should put out a RFP (Request for Proposals) on real estate that could house a
new center of capitalism. The financial markets need to find a more hospitable
place that does not punish their success or the success of the people that make
the financial markets tick.
I am sure that Florida and Texas would respond to the RFP. I
think North and South Carolina, Colorado and many other states would love to
house and support the center of our capitalist system. Think of all the
benefits for the state that is on the receiving end of a successful bid. Think
of the boom for that state and its economy. Think of how wonderful it would be
to see capitalism celebrated rather than demonized!
There has to be a group at the exchanges and financial
institutions that have the guts to get the process rolling. There has to be
someone that says enough is enough. Sean Hannity is the latest high profile entrepreneur
to make the move out of NY. Rush Limbaugh has moved his operations to Florida,
and Glen Beck has moved his operations to Texas. They have put their money
where their mouth is and have stood on principle. They are only a couple of
examples but by just the three of these conservative and successful individuals
leaving NY they have taken millions of tax dollars with them. They have taken
business taxes, property taxes, employee taxes, and all of the sales taxes that
they generated while living in NY. Imagine if the financial center of
capitalism did the same?
It is time to send a message to politicians and the people
that when you target successful people they will leave. It is a lesson that
must be learned and the example must be set for future politicians that free
markets and capitalism are to be honored not demonized.
It is time to defend our country from the current assault
that has become more brazen by people that don’t have a clue about what really
makes this country tick…
