The U.S. economy and workers benefit from a strong, healthy relationship between government and business.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We must never forget that it is the private sector - not government - that is the engine of economic opportunity. Businesses, particularly small businesses, flourish and can provide good jobs when government acts as a productive partner.
Our economy is creating jobs and giving businesses the conditions they need to invest and succeed.
The model of the U.S. economy is that we are the country that does new things.
We believe that business is the engine that drives the car. You've got to build your business base. That means creating more jobs, better paying jobs - that's how you raise your standard of living. That's how you raise your quality of life. That's what funds all the other services people want from government.
Government does create prosperity and growth by creating the conditions that allow both entrepreneurs and their customers to thrive; balancing the power of capitalists like me and workers isn't bad for capitalism - it's essential to it.
It's been said that government doesn't create jobs, business does. For the most part, this is true. But government creates the environment in which businesses can excel and expand.
Our growing, robust economy is able to provide the average American citizen access to the best social program there is - a steady job.
Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States.
The economy is designed to serve the individual.
There's an inverse relationship between the size and scope of government and the health of our free-market economy.
