“One time one parent had their son tell me what he had been taught was the difference between Republicans and Democrats; and that is that Republicans believe in big people and little government, and Democrats believe in big government and little people. I think President Clinton and some have moved beyond that, but there are many in this body who are still criticizing that. They do not seem to understand how jobs in America are created, how people can have choices. So many millions of American people through Amway, through Discovery Toys, through the many different things that have branched out, as well as new computer-based businesses at home, give not only mothers now the choice to stay home with their kids or women to be able to start a business, but now many men are working at home in different types of businesses. If we do not recognize these changes, we kill the engine of economic growth of how jobs are created. They are created not by government but by people looking for creative ways to combine the needs of their life-styles and the needs of capital and the shortage thereof.”
