Awhile back there was a pretty good TV commercial during which the spokesperson stated gruffly, convincingly, and in a way that made him seem completely intolerant of stupidity, as he looked over his glasses, shook his head emphatically and stated in his stentorian voice…“We make money the old fashioned way, we earn it.”

This statement delivered with such hearty intolerance for wimpy sentiments, may or may not have been entirely true of the company represented, but at one point in time, a long time ago, it was entirely and 100% true of The United States of America.  Of course the very early sentiments of America were even more hard core than that, and were stated quite clearly by the county’s earliest flag.

These non-wimpy positions characterize quite well how America started, grew, survived and prospered as a nation. Almost none of the impetus that propelled us from a prairie state to the largest super power on earth was borrowed.  There was no phony paper, speculation or needing a bank loan to make payroll when the people and the companies that made this country great made it great.  

Bailout, at the time when the American economy was the roaring blast furnace of production that was the envy of every other civilized nation on earth, bailout out that point in time was something you did to a sinking boat on a weekend fishing trip.  It was not a new method of government by which the blind and the broke attempt to help the blind and the broke with corrupt new ideas on how to get by without producing anything at all substantial or meaningful.  

So now, our nation’s motto…instead of Don’t Tread On Me, or We Make Money The Old Fashioned Way, We Earn it…now the motto has become something like…Have You Got Any Spare Change I’m Trying To Get Enough For A Bus Ride To See My Sick Mom?  

Super.  Can You Lend Me A Couple Hundred Trillion…I’m Good For It, Really. Those are today’s mottos. And guess what. If you think they are going to lead us to anything like the kind of success hard work and making things leads to, you’re stupid.  And here’s a second opinion, you’re crazy too.

The American economy that was strong and the envy of the world was based on creative individuals who were able to take raw materials and turn them into products people wanted and could use and were thereby willing to pay for at a price, that would provide profits for the makers and sellers of the stuff, so they would have enough money to keep making it and selling it.  That is how jobs are created.  Not by Barrack Obama sending people $500.  That’s a crack party, not an economy. The United States can only return to prosperity and prominence by making it’s way there…and making it’s way there at a profit.  

At Rubber Stamp Champ, we’re proud to still be making things, and we’re proud of the fact also that for us, making and selling has indeed turned into job creation, customer satisfaction and a small portion of economic progress forward for the United States.  We challenge the government to get out of the business of giving people money, and get back in the business of inspiring folks to greater heights of entrepreneurial productivity.

And if you need money, think of a creative way to make something and sell it to people who want and need it, or provide a service, or get some experience busting rocks in the hot sun, anything legitimate to make money…it’s much more the American Way than begging for a handout.
