Milton Freeman the economist had a series on PBS years ago. He said something that has stuck with me. Something to the effect of real wealth is created when you make something. It could be a tomato a camper a house or in my case a power measure. Other people make money, the realtor makes money when he sells the house a carpenter has built but the carpenter created the wealth when he built the house. Now we as a nation manufacturer less and less.
