A little weekend reading...
Written by Anthony Demangone
America isn't perfect. But I wouldn't live anyplace else. Our declaration of independence was clear. Americans should be empowered to pursue their dreams...
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Success isn't a given. But a chance at success sure should be available to everyone. Â
All of you reading this...you help Americans strive for those dreams. You help them save more efficiently, borrow more prudently, and build financial freedom more effectively.Â
I tip my hat to you all!
