LESSON: As we have stated for years, the government has NO MONEY. All they do is take YOUR MONEY and give it to themselves, other countries, and to others who do not work. Do not take any money from the government and become their slave! Recently, the Administration promised $5,000 to every U.S. adult citizen if the current party “stayed in power.” I, of course, instantly remembered the Senior Class President promising pizza and ice cream everyday if elected. But, more import

LESSON: We used to understand the American Entrepreneur was the most critical part of building our country and supporting real, hardworking citizens – not the government or large corporations which have become governments! Bring back Ray Kroc before he was a Billionaire! According to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office, America had approximately 36.2 million small businesses as of February 2026. Those businesses represented 99.9% of American businesses, employed a

STOP SALARIES AND HOURLY PAY IMMEDIATELY IF YOU WANT TO THRIVE! LESSON: Immediately change your compensation plans to make all employees and owners’ compensation directly tied to their personal performance and the overall company performance.

Adam Smith in 1776 wrote in The Wealth of Nations,

LESSON: Our Nation must focus on incentives for home ownership and homebuilding to save the economy, the GDP, and the culture of America. Previously, in our May 2, 2026, Newsletter, I reported how home ownership has beaten 99% of all other investment alternatives for young adults in the history of this great country. But the current environment was making this impossible, and the statistics were terrible. Reminder, in the last 55 years, the number of U.S. houses have doubled

LESSON: Stop permitting Baseball All-Star vote-getters to decline playing, NBA Load Management to occur, and College Football Bowl Game opt-outs – players and teams. Last week it was nice to see the American League finally win the Major League Baseball All-Star game for a change, but it was disappointing so many stars did not participate, many due to real injuries but many due to “rest and preparation of the second half of the season.” Can you imagine Pete Rose sitting out an

LESSON: Small Business Leaders must take over the power of Washington, the IRS, and the Media, to finally recreate a proper merit equals rewards system in America. A great oxymoron = Unionize Small Business! Quick Stats: 99% of businesses in America are Small Businesses. 46% of American workers work for Small Businesses. 44% of America’s GDP (Revenue) comes from Small Businesses. In the last 15 years, 55% of all net new jobs have come from Small Businesses. Yet, where was Joe
