	Everett Stern on Budget & Economy

End notion that only job of business is to maximize profit

A radical free market fundamentalism has stripped the US of vital manufacturing know-how for the purposes of enriching the few and impoverishing our working and middle classes. In a grab for quick profits, the life blood of our prosperity and National Security is being drained. The economic ideology of Milton Friedman, that the only job of CEOs and company executives is to maximize profits for shareholders at the expense of fraying the social fabric of this country has to come to an end.

Pro-growth: make small business loan more readily available

I will promote pro-growth policies focusing on small business and job creation. Small businesses are the major driving force of job creation. I will increase jobs in Pennsylvania by lifting federal impediments to small business development by making it easier to obtain small business loans.

I am a Pennsylvania small business owner and a average citizen that built his company Tactical Rabbit from nothing. I could not acquire a small business loan, so I waited tables at P.F. Chang's to save enough money to start his company. I am on a mission to ensure that enough financial resources are available to Pennsylvania small business owners. When small business grows so will the amount of available jobs. My plan for the economic growth of Pennsylvania's small businesses will create the necessary jobs that our citizens need.
