Jack Kingston: “A small business, independent business person raised his hand and said: I tell you what. I do not want the government to…”

On the recordMay 22, 1996
A small business, independent business person raised his hand and said: I tell you what. I do not want the government to be my partner. In fact, the less I see, the less I have to do with the government, the better for me and for my business. I think that said so much, because people do not want the Government in their lives setting up, as you just mentioned, these obstacles and then coming up and saying, 'But I will get you through them.' 'Well, why do you not just remove the obstacles and get out of my life, too, and that would be better.'
