Obama’s Entrepreneurial Lesson

Bret Swanson

See my take on the election and the prospects for capitalism in today’s Wall Street Journal:

If Barack Obama ran for president by calling for a heavier hand of government, he also won by running one of the most entrepreneurial campaigns in history.

Will he now grasp the lesson his campaign offers as he crafts policies aimed at reigniting the national economy? Amid a recession, two wars, and a global financial crisis, will he come to see that unleashing the entrepreneur is the best way to raise the revenue he needs for his lofty priorities?

Wrong.

Obama's victory, while containing certain entrepreneurial elements was fundamentally about community and the shared goals that society can achieve--a reduction in poverty, for example, and access to healthcare for all--by acting in concert. An example of acting in concert is a progressive income tax. Get over it.
