The governments only task is providing the correct business climate, anything else and we're entering a system where the government is the primary employer of people -- which isn't something that I'll ever want to see. Leave it up to private enterprise and we'll be fine.
What do you think providing a correct business climate should entail? I agree with you that the government should be less involved, rather than more involved. I feel like one of the best things that the government could do is to work on education. Since they've taken on public education, they can just put it in there. Schools talk way too little about business. That's not what they were made for. They were made to produce factory workers. I think if we had encouraging classes about entrepreneurship and patents etc. that we'd have a lot more business, a lot more competition, a lot more progress and a lot more jobs. It should become an important part of the culture. They could also do advertisements encouraging people to pursue their business ideas. They could provide support for small business owners. I think this would be a very good option.
