Free Market
Bernie Sanders
"I think there is obviously an enormously important role for the free market and for entrepreneurial activity. I worry how free the free market is. In sector after sector, you have a small number of companies controlling a large part of the sector." BSI
Hillary Clinton
- "Launch a national effort to cut the red tape holding small businesses back...Provide targeted tax relief for small businesses and simplify tax filing" HCW
Donald Trump
- "I’m a free trader. I believe in it but we have to be smart and we have to use smart people to negotiate." RD6
Ted Cruz
Unemployment Rate
Donald Trump
- "Don’t believe these phony numbers when you hear 4.9 and 5 percent unemployment. The number’s probably 28, 29, as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent." DTS
John Kasich
- "The anemic growth we have today isn't because the federal government failed to do enough but because it succeeded in doing too much" TS
Marco Rubio
- "Washington went along with his prescription for joblessness, which was the stimulus package, and unemployment is higher than it was when he took over, significantly higher. In fact, we have not had unemployment this high for this long since the Great Depression, with no signs of it getting better." POL
Small Businesses
- Ted Cruz: “Imagine instead of economic stagnation, booming economic growth. Instead of small businesses going out of business in record numbers, imagine small businesses growing and prospering.” (politifact)
- Ben Carson: “The current regulatory climate has harmed the ability of small businesses to grow and create jobs. For example, small businesses cannot expand beyond 50 employees without facing significant economic consequences from Obamacare. I believe removing such burdensome regulations would boost small businesses and help jumpstart the economy." (BCW-SB)
- Jeb Bush: "You think about the regulatory cost and the tax cost--that's why small businesses are closing, rather than being formed in our country right now. The big corporations have the scale to deal with all of this." (OTIC)
