Kieffer Twins Debate: Is ‘capitalism’ a swear word?

Lighthearted Christmas video on importance of capitalism for job creation:

Katie quoted in the news:

“Our industry (commercial real estate) and the development process are highly regulated. We need to impact legislation proactively so that we can continue to develop projects and complete deals to create prosperous communities and promote a healthy economy, reflects Katie Kieffer, NAIOP Minnesota Developing Leader (DL) committee chair and Young Professional Forums chair. “Legislative involvement is like a security blanket – if we get involved and promote the benefits that our industry creates, we will have the opportunity to eliminate legislative obstacles to our own long-term career growth. DLs have a lot of power as the fastest growing segment of NAIOP. Our association is well-known and respected, so if DLs get involved in the legislative process, we can leverage our numbers with NAIOP’s reputation to achieve big wins for the industry.”
