If the goal is job growth, we need to admit one fact: Political entrepreneurs create fewer jobs than do market entrepreneurs. We need new mass markets, really big markets of the sort Ford, Rockefeller and Carnegie created. Great employment markets are discoverable only by people who create opportunities or see them in the cracks of what already exists—a Federal Express or Wal-Mart. Either you believe that the philosopher kings of the Obama administration can figure out this sort of thing, or you don't. I don't.I don't either.
I have often thought that there was a dynamism to the early 1900's that we lack today. The fact is that it was that dynamism that ushered our nation onto the world stage and since that time we as a nation have drifted away from it. Progressivism or socialism did not make this country great, limited government did.
