We live in the kind of society where, in almost all cases, hard work is rewarded.

People that create jobs create tax payers, which benefits society as a whole.

People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.

We need more good jobs that reward hard work with rising wages, dignity, and a ladder to a better life.
