Entrepreneurs create jobs, bureaucrats generally don’t. Investors may create jobs, tax increases don’t. Enterprising poor people can create jobs starting with themselves, regulators can and frequently do stop jobs and may destroy them. Rich people have the capital to be investors and may support entrepreneurs and may hire poor people to do the jobs that they don’t want to do themselves. Government, regulations and increased taxation have a strong tendency to reduce all of the above if not kept in check!

Which side of this divide does our current government fall on?

If government could create wealth and jobs we would never have recessions. Unionism doesn’t create jobs either. No union ever has, ever can or ever will create a single job. Unionism doesn’t create wealth, it siphons it off.

Both Apple and Microsoft started as garage operations. What's needed from government, at all levels, is that it NOT stifle people from starting their own small businesses, some of whom may grow into large businesses.

There was a point where I worked for a 1,000 person company which had started twenty years prior as a family business operating out of the founder's home.
