#2 For the purposes of economic prosperity only - property rights are more important than democracy. The Homestead Act and the granting of railroad concessions were critical to our development.

The class dispute jargon is a little on the heavy side.

#3 Didn't Hernando De Soto discover Florida? Or at least invent the sedan?

#4 Hernando de Soto

I have a picture of DeSoto overlookng the Mississippi.

It was my Dad's '57 near Natchez.

#6 SH,
granting of railroad concessions were critical to our development.

Yeah, agreed with the caviat that most of the grantors and grantees should have been hung. I expect that this is one of the few times I'd agree with NMM.

#7 One of the best and most surprising articles I've ever read.
What made America rich is little noted- our Founding Fathers also invented the patent system.
Intellectual property, just as my faith and speech are MY property.

Now if only the drug warriors felt that way about my bladder- if it's not private, nothing is. Note the trends concerning children, homes, cars, bank accounts, internet usage, gun registration, -etc.
