And hopefully whoever wins will realize that universal health care will enable our country to be more productive, make small businesses better able to compete with big businesses for employees and improve the quality of life for all of our citizens :)
Seriously though, I think that everyone wants to see small business succeed. There are competing theories on how best to achieve that. If the solution were obvious and without any conflicting evidence or debate we wouldn't be having these discussions. Hell, I'd wager that the left is more tied to the notion of increasing small business ownership than the right is. Local business development, fewer big box stores and chains, smaller disparity between the top and bottom salaries in small business, etc, are all mantras of the progressive left. Historically it is the anti-regulation mantra on the right that has helped push for the consolidation of industries into fewer numbers of larger companies. All about cost cutting and synergies, right? So you can certainly disagree with whether or not their approach will work but I think that the left's focus on encouraging small business development over big business development is pretty clear.
