## Resource

What does America really owe its citizens? And what do citizens owe one another? Calls for a "new social contract" have become increasingly common, often centered around taxes, wealth, and government spending. But perhaps we're asking the wrong question. What if the foundation of a healthy society isn't simply how we redistribute money, but how we steward our Time, Attention, Energy, and Money? There are principles that helped build America, why liberty cannot exist without responsibility, and why lasting change has always been built from the ground up, not the top down.
