Steve Forbes shares some wonderful news.
Â
Longtime readers of this blog know the great admiration I have for Whole Foods CEO John Mackey. Steve Forbes recently had a great interview with him about his new book Concious Capitalism, which is currently making Progressive heads explode all across the land.
Enjoy!
This article at Common Consent asks a good question, here is my response:
I have hired cleaning services when overwhelmed by asthma and ill health in general. I know those hired were thankful for the money and I was grateful for the help. I believe Mothers should do whatever is in their power to teach children to work, but after observing my teens, the greatest thing we did for them was require that they get summer jobs instead of playing and attending camps/EFY.
They all have learned the value of a dollar by earning it themselves. No amount of chores at home could teach the life lessons that hard work in the form of childcare, lawn mowing, landscaping, bagging. groceries, and being accountable to a boss taught them.
We live in a really affluent area and many of the LDS teens I know have never worked a part time job. Some brag about never being willing to work for minimum wage. The Entitlement attitude is really what needs to be squashed in our culture.
I see nothing wrong with hiring domestic or gardening workers, especially if the Home Maker is in a time or season when an extra pair of hands can keep Mama healthier.

David Horowitz has been a favorite author of mine since I read his Biography Radical Son. Watch the whole video, it is enlightening, especially since the Koch Brothers have become the new Enemies of the American Left. It is extremely helpful to crunch the real numbers and have it all laid out clearly.
As they were describing how totalitarians want to control 100% of everything, I could not help but think of the birth machine and how those who defend it cannot stand to have less than one percent of us birthing at home.
The tactics, money, and power are all with the medical model, yet the American Mother has truth and Freedom enshrined in the God Given Rights guaranteed by the Constitution backing her and her family up.
It is a similar fight and one that I hope all people of good will decide to take on sooner than later.

PS In Horowitzs Biography he details the Home Birth of his son Benjamin who was born Unassisted without Birthing Professionals. Â While I am certain he would be the last person to stand up and shout that fact out in the media, it did serve as a connection while I devoured his book. Â Give it a read if you want to understand American Politics. Click HERE for Radical Son..
