Thanksgiving is a holiday where we celebrate prosperity and achievement. Those things only happen under political and economic freedom. America was, and still is, a unique country for its always rising prosperity and freedom — with each generation better off than the last. That’s why Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday. The more we renew our commitment to those magnificent ideals, the more joyful all our future Thanksgiving celebrations will be.
As Ayn Rand put it, “Thanksgiving is a producers’ holiday. The lavish meal is a symbol of the fact that abundant consumption is the result and reward of production.”
Happy Thanksgiving!
