The President for Entrepreneurs? It's Hillary Clinton

[SecularMotion]

Each year, four hundred thousand people in the U.S. have a dream -- the same dream that was sparked in Hugh Rodham, Hillary Clinton's father after he returned from defending our country in WWII. These courageous founders take the leap of faith to open a business. Capitalizing on new ideas and spotting new trends these entrepreneurs are the innovation engines that keep the tens of millions of people in the U.S. employed. Some remain small, but are no less critical to our economy. Others aspire to build global companies. Entrepreneurship has been the backbone of America since our country was founded. It is the foundation of our global economic strength.

Entrepreneurs come in all stripes: democrats, republicans and independents. We live all over the country: Yes, in Silicon Valley but also in Columbus, Ohio and Spartanburg, South Carolina. We know what it is to work hard, struggling to find the capital we need to fuel our businesses and attract the best people with the right skills to deliver exceptional results.

We appreciate the regulatory support that keeps our businesses and products safe and the transportation infrastructure we need from government. But we also want government to let us innovate with little interference, streamlined processes and only moderate taxes.

Success or failure? We know it falls largely on our shoulders, as it should.

5. Nicely dressed up free market conservatism, GOP style

Before you take out the knives -- Yes business is important and worthwhile, and entrepreneurs are to be admired and should be supported (the good ones anyway). And needless red tape and bureaucracy and too high taxes are bad.

However, there's a fine line there, and there's a fine line between legitimate support for business as part of economic revitalization and the right wing "business uber Alles" and the blind support for corporate imperialism and crony capitalism that has dragged down the country over the last 30 years.

That column seems to seems to contain many of the code words that conservatives used to bash liberalism with a velvet glove. We don't need to go back to the deregulation, privatizing and gutting of the safety net that the "centrist" conservative Democrats pushed in the 90's and 00's.


And thius: "Partnering with people across the political spectrum she instructed U.S. embassies across the world to fight unfair business and foreign government practices and tackle investment barriers to secure our global leadership in products and services. It is a tricky undertaking. It is a delicate balance between prying open markets and having them slam shut."

In other words, imposing Corporate Colonialism and attempting to undercut national sovereignty and policies that run countrer to unregulated free market capitalism.

Beware of Trojan Horses disguised with fluffy feelgood language.

This has to do with small business being able to play with the 'big companies' in terms of exports. The people and the profits stay here in the United States. Being able to sell your product and/or service on the global market allows small business to thrive... to grow. This spurs new hiring and helps strengthen our economy.

Many Small Businesses can't compete on a local level with the cheap crap coming out of China/Asia. This gives them a chance to explore business growth from outside the US.
