We cannot get serious about helping the private sector create quality jobs without focusing first on the main drivers of our economy - the American middle class and those struggling to enter it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We've been so preoccupied with getting the government to behave in a fair and democratic way, we were not able to focus on the private sector where most of the jobs are, where most of the wealth and opportunities are.
When we get the private sector going through job creation and growth, then the governments at all level have revenues to do the things that they need to do. And that's why it's so important to get this economy moving, to get jobs created. We can't keep going on with this anemic recovery.
We need the private sector to create jobs. If the government could create jobs Communism would have worked, but it didn't.
I spent my whole life in the private sector, 25 years in the private sector. I understand that when government takes more money out of the hands of people, it makes it more difficult for them to buy things. If they can't buy things, the economy doesn't grow. If the economy doesn't grow, we don't put Americans to work.
I responded that we needed a private sector to improve the market situation and make peoples lives easier.
America's private sector job creators need elected leaders to lead and get out of the way.
You're not going to build private-sector jobs if you don't like business people.
The private sector doesn't sit around and say - 'Well, since the president said we should do this, we should do it.'
I believe the private sector and small businesses drive our economy, and that means the federal government should work to ensure the private sector is as robust as possible.
If I could create one job in the private sector by helping to grow a business, that would be one more than Congress has created in the last six months.
