Jeff Colyer: Low taxes & less regulation key to expansion

Many working people aren't progressing like they used to; in too many families, their children aren't moving forward with meaningful careers. America has also failed the poor, with too many middle class people sliding right down the pole with them. I believe free and fair enterprise with less regulation, lower, simpler taxes, and less top heavy crony capitalism, is the key to help repair the liberal failure on poverty and progress, and regrow the middle class.
