America is supposed to be the cradle of capitalism, born on the Fourth of July.

And yet America’s largest employers have been under attack from left-leaning politicians and the administration. The White House has made doing business in America more difficult, costly and punitive.

In the UK — where people chose to divorce themselves from the Brussels bureaucracy — business is actively sought after and welcomed.

A recent example was during the final push in Britain over whether to Brexit. UK Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne took part (alongside JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon) in a town hall-style meeting with JPMorgan employees to explain some of the ramifications for JPMorgan and the UK economy and employment.

JPMorgan is headquartered in the US and a mere 16,000 of its 235,000 employees are in the UK — less than 7 percent. Yet the UK chancellor and the CEO reached out together to hold court and explain.

Here in America, under this administration, onerous regulations and hundreds of billions of dollars in punitive penalties have hurt job growth in the sector and the economy.

Last week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who has made her name in part by vilifying American bankers, spread her wings and bit into Apple, Amazon and Google.

Warren is now focused on growth companies. She claims that due to their success in their respective industries, their current size — get this — “threatens our Democracy.”

Come on. These three companies directly employ approximately 400,000 people. Indirectly, in areas like app development and shipping, some estimates exceed 627,000 for Apple alone.

So how are Warren’s comments helpful to America? They’re not.

On this July 4th weekend, let’s remember that the American Dream — to own a house, raise a family and see your kids do well — is entirely based on a steady, good-paying job. Because that’s what we need more of to make America a great place to work again.
