“Federal and state government must limit programs and spending. Business owners and individuals should not look to government, asking ‘what are you going to do for me?’… The government shouldn’t provide bailouts or subsidies to any business sector. This creates a false economy that can’t be sustained long term. An example of this is the ethanol industry. Federal subsidies have dramatically increased the price of corn and diverted corn from human and livestock food to fuel. ... The only role of government should be to provide public safety. Government regulations, mandates such as federal health care, and taxes take money away from businesses that could be used to grow the business and hire more employees.”
