We need to get government OUT of business as much as possible. They've regulated away all the incentive to start or grow a business, and increased the incentive to retain part time versus full time labor and run as lean as possible.

Just prior to the last increase in minimum wage, some friends and I were eating at a food court (we ate there a couple times a week during lunch break). As we sat there making small talk, I watched the staff behind the various counters - how they treated customers, how they treated coworkers, how the handled orders, followed instruction, etc. After a bit, I looked at my friends and pointed out my guesses for which employees wouldn't make it more than a month after the increase. I'd hazard I was about 80-85% correct.

And let's not even begin to discuss GE and the mercury squiggle light bulbs.

I respectfully disagree.

We need our government to make American jobs the priority.

Maybe some factory owners won’t like that, but maybe they’re exporting American jobs.

Bring back American jobs.
