Steve Wahl argues economic freedom is as fundamental to liberty as ending slavery, introducing the concept of economic abolitionism. He frames Titan Impact Group's work around expanding economic participation as a path to genuine freedom.
My fellow compassionate capitalists, Steve Wahl here. And of course, behind me, as always, the Declaration of all declarations, the one that clearly and boldly states that all men are created equal, that they have been endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among those are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Of course, I have the rare honor and privilege to literally live in a museum. I get to study the handwritten letters and the artifacts left behind by those who have gone before us in order to pass on the lessons they've learned and allow us to have a better future. I'm not going to stand here and apologize for our country's founding or our founding Fathers. In fact, I'm going to celebrate it. I'm going to celebrate the fact that our founding fathers knew that to err was to be human and that they gave us a constitution, a basis of law, which could be amended in order to right the wrongs of future ills. That it could be amended by a consensus of the people. Now, February, of course, is Black History Month. And as we go throughout this month, I will be taking you little tours and stuff of some of our artifacts and letters of those who were abolitionists as well as prominent African Americans who fought for freedom. And one of the things of how all this ties into Titan Impact Group is that African Americans did not become free because they pricked the social conscience of society. They became free because they were allowed to participate in the economy. You see, what is slavery but subjugation? When someone other than you tells you that you can no longer work for yourself, that you cannot provide for your family, that you cannot move about your country freely, that the ability to have an American dream, the ability to provide for yourself and to either fail or succeed based on your own merits, that that will be taken away. So throughout this month, we will be making the correlation between slavery of yesterday and slavery of today. We at Titan Impact Group are the sentinels of the American dream. We are economic abolitionists. We know that what the government is doing to us today is wrong. And as with all the other great abolitionists, we will take a stand, a financial stand. We will show those who have fallen behind, suffering from economic hardships, have found themselves entrapped in bondage, forced by the government on what they can do to hold on to their American dream. I hope that you stay tuned with us as we continue these videos throughout the month. If you like it, go ahead and click on the links below and, like, give us your comments. And I hope that you truly consider becoming a compassionate capitalist, an economic abolitionist. So that you and others will never have to wake from the American dream. I'm Steve Wall. I know money. And I am a sentinel of the American dream.
