they're not asking for the gov't to provide answers - they're asking for reduced taxes, reduced red tape, something about breaking up banks that i don't totally understand, and assurance that their guns are safe (i'm sure i'm missing a lot, but it's that sort of stuff). of my perhaps 12 non-liberal friends here, 4 have started businesses (including one that is pretty innovative). none of them went to more than a year of college, none started with well to do parents, they're making solid money by ohio standards, and employing 15 people in total. not sure if they're an anomaly, but the belief is widespread that if the govt loosens the shackles, new small businesses will blossom i'm not interested in arguing about whether that belief is well founded or self-consistent, or whether their vision of a hands-off gov't is sustainable (i'd argue that neither is sound, but they're not so obviously wrong as to be equivalent to asking for a handout)
