Independence

Today is the anniversary of one of the first major steps in freedom. Everyone born in this country is now more privileged than 99% of the world, thanks in large part to that step. Economic mobility is more possible here than anywhere. You can be born with nothing, and, through hard work and determination, make a better world for yourself, your loved ones, and everyone else. As real progress is made, it's important to not forget that very little if any of that progress would be possible were it not for July 4th 1776.
