I Democrats demonize profit.
-- have Occupy Wall Street demonizing profit what's wrong with profit.
Nothing's wrong with profit and I think that that's the case we have to make the young people we have to show them that when you're making a profit.
Usually that means you're serving somebody the way they -- -- be served it's a great piece of information we always talk about profit as incentive.
We -- its information and in a world full of uncertainty.
We need that information -- our colleges themselves to blame though I mean some 63% of professors are liberal they're categorized as a liberal or even far left today.
When they're stay any talking to their classrooms are they talking it.
I'll tap profit that's it -- dirty word -- you know I think I give students a little credit here I think when they see -- humanities professor standing up in front of them saying profit as evil they're probably thinking.
You know what does this guy really know what he's been in the academy his whole career right I think the bigger issue is that proponents of free enterprise haven't made their case very compellingly.
We talk about markets in terms of efficiency all the time and that's true.
It's utterly uninspiring right we have to start telling the narrative about what businesses do in the world.
And how they serve people how to -- they help people with their daily life if you didn't have business and you only had nonprofit what would our world bit like that's right so much of the service we see around us all the time the things that make life better -- wouldn't be here.
-- -- great stuff I was so blown away by that I guess we have to open our eyes out young people view business exactly thank thank you are right.
