How's this for a Job Summit brain trust? Let's invite Educators, Intellectuals, Union Members, CEO's of Large Corporations and Professors for their brilliant solutions.
Conspicuously missing is the only element that should have been present.
Whoa is the small business man, the only entity that provides employment, growth and pays all the taxes.
There are two ways to Create JOBS.
You can hire more people on the government dime in make-work jobs (a la Paul Krugman). That, of course, costs a lot of money, which requires higher taxes on small businesses, which kills private-sector jobs. That is the current model being employed by the White House and its congressional allies.
Or you can make it easier for small businesses to hire workers by easing government mandates, cutting businesses taxes and creating better macroeconomic conditions to allow the private sector to thrive.
The Obama administration believes that the private sector isn’t smart enough or altruistic enough to create jobs. It has a deep-seated distrust of the business community. It has an agenda that is pro-bigger government, pro-labor, pro-higher taxes, pro-bigger mandates.
This jobs summit is a joke. Instead of talking jobs to death, the president should start acting to create better conditions for small businesses to prosper.
