One of the celebrity guests on "Extreme Home Makeover" on ABC commented the other evening that the family they were there to support is "what America was made on."
This family seemed great, and they had certainly made tremendous sacrifices to help those in need in their area to feed their families and support themselves.
While those virtues are very honorable, America was not built on charity. It was built on freedom, capitalism, tremendous natural resources, and the intelligent men and women who had the ambition to put one foot in front of the other.
Charity is great. It improves our communities, brings people together, and certainly helps those who need a helping hand. (along with a lot of other people who don't need help)
It's just that somebody had to make the money, goods, or services to donate in the first place, and that is what America was made on.
