We must become the party of small business, where there are higher wages and jobs created
Pal, it may be time to question your standing as a conservative if you're going to make a blanket statement demonizing big business. Just about every big business was a small business at some point. Who stands as the arbiter of classifying any successful business that has grown to a size you would call "big" as part of the problem?
Man, what the heck is happening to this site? Now we're at the point where self-proclaimed conservatives are trashing capitalism too.
Again, there is a big difference between big business (and I am talking about BIG business) and small companies (like the small company I run)
If you don’t believe that big business is just as bad as big government (both become inefficient machines with many unmotivated workers leaching and sucking from it) you clearly do not understand the market
What conservatives have to realize is we are pro market, not pro big business
Pal, it may be time to question your credentials as a conservative if you are unwilling to question outdated dogma.
I am a small business owner. I pay my taxes, my taxes for my employees and half of their SSI along with their health insurance plans.
Meanwhile big business (see Microsoft and their influence on the H1-B program) uses its size to manipulate the market and prevent small business owners from reaching the prosperity they have.
Big business, just like big government, is inefficient (see GM) bloated (see GM again) and no longer provides a net gain to Americans (see the outsourcing trend the last decade)
The engine of economic growth in this country is small businesses who hope to reach the status of the big guys. The problem is, the big guys in corporate America are in bed with the scum suckers in Washington DC (See Hank Paulson, Robert Reich, Rahm Emanuel) and are able to influence the government to make it that much harder for small business to succeed (you know, by making us pay absurd taxes while big companies get to off shore American jobs)
Conservatives need to realize the difference between a market economy and a corporate economy. And sometimes being pro-market means being anti-big business
