What a pro-business environment is
ILLUSTRATED: Democrats believe a pro-business environment means an educated local population and a large health care risk pool.
The unreconstructed conservative domestic policy is to cut taxes and accountability on the 3% of Americans who control capital, and that will spur so much economic growth, all problems will be solved. The unreconstructed liberal domestic policy is to increase the budget and authority of the 3% who control our public institutions, and they will solve all of society's problems. Both theories have been debunked in the eyes of the American people.
Last night I was at a dinner party with the theme of discussing the infamous Prop 13 here in California. [Digressing, dinner parties are great to discuss ballot issues and candidates with friends. They are a fun and informative way to connect people to politics] Reflecting, it reiterates that commerce needs a sound, functioning government.
Conservatives talk about "business friendly environments" basically meaning no taxes, little regulation, and making it hard for employees and consumers to sue them. A modern Democrat needs to counter that what businesses need are a smart talent pool and a cheap health insurance pool. Lastly, small businesses, without the economic leverage of large companies, need access to the legal system when they get shafted.
This means that we need good schools, access to higher education, a real health insurance plan, and access to civil justice.
It's all in the meta theme of strength through community, as opposed to isolation.
