## Resource

In this episode, Michael dives into a thought-provoking discussion about wealth, work, and the American economy. He tackles AOC's statement that you can't earn a billion dollars, arguing that it's based on economic errors and a zero-sum fallacy. Michael also addresses the idea that work is not the enemy of human dignity, but rather a fundamental aspect of it. He shares personal anecdotes and historical examples, including the stories of Henry Ford and Andrew Carnegie, to illustrate the importance of hard work and innovation in building wealth. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in economics, politics, and the human condition. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
