The economic success of the Nation is fueled by the drive of free men and women aspiring to achieve their dreams, provide for their families, and further prosperity for their communities. Our Nation declared its independence to fight back against an overbearing government that subordinated the freedom and prosperity of individual citizens to the interests of entrenched elites. In establishing a new Nation, our Founding Fathers sought to unleash the power of entrepreneurship and free enterprise.
