Matt Naugle alerted us to
this article written by Ken Blackwell for Human Events. It is really quite good and worth reading the whole thing, but I am not so sure about one sentence. Here is the setup:
Many Republican leaders have demonstrated little commitment to one or more of our conservative principles—limited government, individual liberty, free-market enterprise and belief in the sanctity of life.
Our bourgeoning government has used program after program to seize paychecks of Americans and line the pockets of corporate giants and politically charged organizations.
All of which is quite true...but then there is this:
These measures have stunted the growth of a free American market and squandered our people's ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit.
Uhh...put me down in the column that says, "I'm not so sure about that."
Bizzy, you have an opinion on this? My take is that the markets are doing just fine and there are more small businesses today than there were when Clinton left office...but I'm not a financial guru, nor do I play one on the Internet.
