Almost One Year Ago Today

[JCnOwasso]

When has the liberal viewpoint ever been to make it easier for entrepreneurship other than sapping the treasury to funnel money into well-connected political allies pockets?  More mandates, like Obamacare, are viewed as more of a risk for the risk-takers.  The liberal view is always that people are not capable of succeeding without the government getting involved at every turn.

Republicans hold the view that limited government intervention helps spur creativity, entrepreneurship, and helps hard work pay off.

You should also add to that statement that limited government ensures that limited oversight will help hide the illegal activities that made them successful.  We can review the long list of happenings over the last decade to show that.

I should say that I am all for creativity and innovation, but I do not believe that you should forego oversight to ensure that happens.  A majority of the big technological acheivements of recent years were funded by Government activities, heck just look at DARPA's resume to find out.  Government funding of the Space program aided in the development and subsequent lowering in price of technologies we utilize on a daily basis today.

Conan, ironically enough, France now leads us in entrepreneurship. Yes, France.
