Free Markets | Can They Provide Jobs?

....We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed,...." Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
During this weekend of celebrating our countries birth we should pause, remember why this country was created in the first place and judge whether we are currently living by these principles. My conclusion is we can do better.

If we have a government as stated by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 "-- of the people, by the people, for the people, ........" government must assist in finding a way to create opportunity and jobs for the masses that are unemployed. We have a structural and competitive unemployment problem in this country and collectively we must solve it. The free market cannot solve it alone.
