I’ve noticed that conservatives are the people who are coming up with solutions that are free of government control.
Our greatest and smartest leaders usually do not hold a public office. If they were to run for office they’d be taking a pay-cut. My gut tells me a liberal would call it greed. I call it logic.
Occasionally the people who have a lot of money feel compelled to give back to the country that allowed them to succeed. Mitt Romney is a great example. Steve Forbes as well. Dean Scontras is the latest.
In the past these kinds of people have lost political elections because of their lack of “political experience.”
I don’t know about you but I would love to have a governor or president who had no previous experience in public office and loads of success in the business world. They obviously would have the ability to create cash flow and balance a budget. After all, that is the reason behind the state’s deficit and lack of ability to sufficiently fund its university system.
My point is that the corporate world is not your enemy – as much as Democratic politicians say they are.
Those people are part of a high class society for a reason: intelligence and/or innovation. If they inherited the position or money then it means someone in their family had to be smart.
Don’t be jealous, ask them real life questions. These kinds of people are the best educators of all. They can also be found in our business school. All the professors in the business school may not be loaded with cash, but they sure know how others have reached that point.
History, political science, art, science and health graduates are professionals in their own areas. They are not professionals in creating cash flow, balancing a budget, marketing a product or entire geographical area, or making decisions that affect the business world and our economy.
Some, however, believe they are knowledgeable enough to hold public office and do indeed have a seat in the house, senate, or executive office.
I don’t know about you but I can’t think of many political science majors who run an entire corporation or profitable organization.
The people most qualified and capable of doing that are businessmen, corporate executives – people who know how to find solutions to problems that will fill a void or gap.
Obviously they have to consult others when in public office and that is where your political science, history, science, art, or health graduates come in.
The leaders, the people with the answers, the few people who know and understand the capitalist system know what works and I guarantee you the common answer is the private sector.
The folks running our private sector truly run this country and have since the colonial era. This country is nothing without capitalism, free markets and its economy.
Those who are so uncertain about our economy are those who know little about how it works. They are the pessimists. You will find that the optimists of our economy are actually in charge of it.
You want answers? You want solutions? You want someone who will provide a working budget that will fund the state’s and university’s real needs?
Well, the answer to those questions lies in the answer to the next.
Who would you rather ask for financial advice? Your political science professor or a successful businessman?
