Thanks for sharing Todd, I completely agree.
I'll share my story. My Dad and his family lived through Nazi Germany. After the war was over, Opa was released from being a Russian prisoner of war, they fled Germany to this country. They arrived with very little, knowing hardly any English. Imagine you are German immigrants here after WWII (!) They all worked very hard, and what they've all accomplished is impressive. The same with my mother's side, her great grandparents right off the boat from Sicily. All of them fought ignorance and prejudice here when they arrived only to prosper. They did this through the opportunity that a free market and a free country gave them. That is why it's so crucial that we fight to sustain it, so that our kids will continue to have these opportunities.
