Michigan Business Done Right - Reagan ShruggedBy JGillman, Section News
Who is Jason Gillman?
That strange question, which from time to serves as an answer to a myriad of other questions that serve to discover otherwise unexplainable truths. It is the real world variation of a similar question "who is John Galt?," asked early and often in the book Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. Galt, an inventor, innovator, and objectivist, withdrew his talent from the country as he saw it usurped, taken for granted, and used inappropriately by those with an entitlement mentality.
 Galt's acts in the story served as an iconic statement of the direction we as a nation are heading. And though John Galt was a fictional character, the very lessons to be learned in the story which features him among others, is valid in Michigan and in other states as well. Lessons which speak to the desire to create, and the many ways in which that can be quelled by government complicating the process. Lessons about "greed," and how for some, that master, is the driver to steal from the very creators who would otherwise use it (greed) as a tool to build wealth for themselves and for all.
So who is Jason Gillman?
Sales work often relies on the creation of products by others, but it also serves a valuable purpose in the creation of wealth by a nation. We would be lost if the products created to enhance life, add productivity, or BUILD among other things, disappeared from the shelves of stores. In our business, the solutions we provide assist in these things. Even as simple as a CCTV, or primarily security equipment warehouse.
We have facilitated the following types of businesses, and institutions with their needs for safety or tools to create their own wealth. The list is hardly complete, as it is off the top of my head, but I would like to point out less than a third of these listed use the equipment for security.
And though some projects served could have been done with solutions from other vendors, a few of these shown required an innovation that was unavailable immediately elsewhere. Innovation that is uniquely my own, and is unlikely a candidate for duplication. There are specialists in too many areas to list, (certainly too many for any select group of bureaucrats to consider) as I have done above with those that I serve. Each person brings his own talent created by a set of experiences unique to them as the proverbial snowflake. But the truth remains that each one could also fade with the heat of government intervention in his or her craft just as easily.
Michigan has seen those who create unique solutions rewarded with higher taxes, which go to pay for the perceived need of the state to provide for the general welfare of particular businesses. And though those industries arguably provide jobs, the stifling effect the taxes used to reward THEM is often the reason other businesses with unique innovators give up. No matter how hard Government tries to create jobs, it can only in that process, inhibit wealth development and discoveries. In its quest to maintain spending, Michigan allowed the MBT to be created, and even expanded it. I have personally spoken to manufacturers and other businesses which have had to lay off employees to pay for the increase. This results in a greater workload for the remaining workforce, and less consideration for spontaneous solutions and real invention within the remaining businesses. It sometimes causes the experts in a particular field to give up entirely.. and maybe take a job flipping burgers, which may not be such a bad job after all. One SINGLE man's disappearance and subsequent loss of his expertise might well stop no large amount of industry. Michigan has highly technical institutions which are capable, and have played a part in discovering and molding raw technical talent into useful enterprise. However, in an aggregate manner, the entirety of unique individuals who develop, design, or otherwise create wealth, health, and convenience for all might likely withhold those talents.. if a poor environment for their talents is created by government and punishment is the ultimate reward.
