The Screw One of the simplest inventions in history may also teach one of life’s greatest lessons. Take a common screw. If you want to build something that is strong, stable, secure, and valuable, you turn the screw to the right. Righty tighty. Every turn strengthens the connection. Every turn adds stability. Every turn increases the integrity of the structure. But if you want to take something apart, loosen it, weaken it, or eventually destroy it, you turn the screw to the l

Chapter 2: The American Advantage. Purchasing Your Freedom. Ladies and gentlemen, we live in the greatest country that has ever existed in human history. Not because we are perfect. Not because we don’t have challenges. But because no other country in the history of the world has offered: More opportunities, More freedom, More property rights, More access to capital, more ability to create millionaires from nothing, and a Constitutional Republic that protects the individual

One of the most important responsibilities of elected officials is protecting the financial well-being of the citizens they serve. Campaign promises are important, but written commitments provide voters with an additional measure of accountability. Rhode Island gubernatorial candidate Aaron Guckian has signed the Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) Taxpayer Protection Pledge, committing that, if elected, he will oppose and vote against efforts to increase taxes. Since its introduc

U.S.A. If your goal is to divide the United States, I encourage you to reconsider. We don't all have to agree on every issue, but we can choose to find common ground. The American Republic has endured for nearly 250 years because generation after generation has been willing to debate, compromise, innovate, and work together. Let's leave our children and grandchildren a nation that is stronger, freer, more prosperous, and more united than the one we inherited. To those who spe

Tax The Rich As a financial literacy teacher, entrepreneur, and student of economic history, I have a simple challenge for every politician who constantly talks about taxing the rich, taxing producers, taxing creators, taxing inventors, and taxing those who develop intellectual property. Instead of taking more from those who create value, why not create value yourself? If you truly believe you have the solutions to society's problems, then prove it in the marketplace. Start a

Aaron Guckian There comes a time when citizens must decide whether they want more government or more opportunity. For too many years, Rhode Islanders have watched taxes rise, regulations expand, housing become less affordable, businesses struggle, and families leave in search of better opportunities elsewhere. Aaron Guckian understands what many Rhode Islanders are feeling. He has worked in education, banking, healthcare advocacy, nonprofit leadership, and public service. He

Plunder or Production For most of human history, wealth was not created—it was taken. Before the rise of free-market capitalism, the primary paths to wealth were inheritance, conquest, plunder, theft, political privilege, and control of land. Kings inherited kingdoms. Nobles inherited titles. Armies conquered territories. Wealth flowed to those who possessed power rather than those who produced value. A farmer could work from sunrise to sunset and never become wealthy. A craf

June 11, 2026 was a day that reminded me of the power of relationships, cooperation, and the simple act of connecting friends with friends to make things possible. One of the greatest privileges in life is being able to bring people together, solve problems, and help create opportunities that benefit an entire community. Sometimes all it takes is a few conversations, a few phone calls, and a willingness to help. Recently, the Romanian sail training ship N.S. Mircea needed a p

Elon Musk and Haym Salomom Throughout American history, certain individuals have used their resources, influence, and willingness to take risks to support causes they believed were larger than themselves. Two names that often emerge in discussions about finance, innovation, and the future of freedom are Haym Salomon and Elon Musk. While they lived more than 240 years apart, supporters of both men argue that each played a significant role during a pivotal period in history. Ha

Junius Groves - Financial Freedom As a financial literacy teacher, I am a big believer in case studies. History is filled with examples of individuals who achieved financial freedom through grit, determination, innovation, capitalism, and yes, sometimes a little luck. One of the greatest examples you may have never heard of is the story of Junius George Groves. Imagine walking 500 miles with only 90 cents in your pocket. Now imagine that just 25 years later, a major railroad

On June 20, 2026, the city of Baia Mare will host one of the most ambitious youth development conferences ever organized in northern Romania. The CREST Forum Baia Mare 2026 brings together approximately 150 young professionals, students, entrepreneurs, and civic leaders for a day dedicated to personal growth, leadership, innovation, and purpose. This is not simply another conference filled with lectures and presentations. CREST Forum is designed to challenge participants to t

Mothers and Freedom As America celebrates Mother’s Day, it is important to remember that mothers have always played a critical role in the strength, survival, and future of the United States. Long before modern politics, social media, and technology, the success of the American republic depended heavily upon the values taught inside the home. Following the American Revolution, the founders of the United States understood something very important: freedom could not survive unl

📖 The Scripture That Most People Ignore… But Shouldn’t Bible — 2 Corinthians 6:14 “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers…” This isn’t just a spiritual warning. 👉 It’s a life strategy 👉 A relationship filter 👉 And—if you’re paying attention—a financial blueprint Because the truth is… Most people don’t fail because of lack of income.

Ron - Thank you 🇺🇸 A Story Rooted in Florida Soil In a time when many talk about success, few live a story that defines it. Ronald “Alligator Ron” Bergeron is one of those rare individuals—built not in boardrooms, but in the mud, sweat, and sawgrass of South Florida. Ron’s journey began in the small town of Davie, Florida—when it was still a place where “there were more places to tie your horse than park a car.” ( Ron Bergeron Everglades ) His family ran a humble grocery s

N-Pursuit By Chairman Bob Sutton Financial Educator | Advocate for Economic & Civic Literacy The Turning Point: 1920 and the 19th Amendment In 1920, America reached a defining moment with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. This amendment prohibited denying the right to vote based on sex, officially granting women the constitutional right to participate in elections. But let’s be clear—this wasn’t just legislation. It was the result of decades of persistence, sacr

Today, we pause to reflect on and celebrate what Martin Luther King Jr. gave to the world—not only through historic achievements, but through timeless moral clarity. His words continue to challenge us, guide us, and call us to action in moments of comfort and crisis. One of Dr. King’s most enduring quotes captures the heart of his philosophy: “The time is always right to do what is right.” This statement is far more than an inspirational phrase. It is a moral command. Dr. K
