America needs more entrepreneurs

Sustain Us Restore Us CNN recently had an article that said that the US needs to import entrepreneurs in order to create jobs. America was built on the idea that anyone could come here, start a business and succeed. Looking back at the strength of our country at the start of the twentieth century, we were a nation of innovators and entrepreneurs. 


By the end of the twentieth century, no other nation possessed the wealth and power that ours did. As we look at the state of our economy now, we can only ask ourselves, "What happened?" 

I agree with the article that we need more entrepreneurs in this country in order to create more jobs, but I don't necessarily believe that they must be imported. I think that if we had Universal Health Care it would be easier for Americans to be entrepreneurs and then we would then enter a new period of growth. We say that we want and need green jobs. A lot of people have good ideas, but it is difficult for them to get started. 

What do you think might help to get things rolling?

    I agree with your idea about Universal Health Care helping entrepreneurs and jobs. Imposing all those costs on a business creates a big start-up cost and ongoing cost; It's a big disadvantage vs. overseas competitors, too, where often health care is paid by direct taxes. It should be funded here by a simple tax, like a value added tax. That would even make imports bear part of the cost.

    I think the entreprenuerial spirit is out there - I see a lot of it. But the burdens are so much that talented people with ideas are driven away aor can't overcome the barriers.
