“The American example is our most powerful export.”
Marco Rubio, US Senator
Senator Rubio was speaking to the Federalist Society when he made the above remark. We as a nation are going to have to refocus on making this an opportunity society. Not by having more programs and tzars, as some on the left propose, but by having a well regulated and transparent marketplace and keeping the governments small.
One measure of if our example is working is whether people are trying to move here. One measure of whether we are setting a good example is whether we let them. The world will be a better place if people are allowed to move from bad places to better places and the nations that let it happen will be stronger for it so it will happen.
