Yes, I agree.
No pandering, but YES to making ourselves known.
Reach out to those black owned barbershops, nail salons and every other black owned business in the inner cities and talk about reducing taxes and regulation so they can thrive. They are the people who will spread the message to their customers. I’ve met enough of those people to know that they do understand the tax and regulation threat.
Its what many miss about the election of Mike Duggan in Detroit. Duggan understood where the information terminals of the inner city really are and went directly to them and they spread his massage. First white mayor (liberal) of Detroit in nearly 50 years and he ran as a write in candidate.
Personally, I would get some of the big money guys like Roger Penske and Dan Gilbert to work with me to make connections with the small businessmen.
