I think most of them would say, ``Why don't you work together to create an environment where small businesses and entrepreneurs can create jobs, because there are 15 million unemployed Americans and we need to put people back to work.'' Others of them might say, ``I'm concerned about educating my children. I have college-age children, and I'm looking at the cost of paying for college education, and I'm extremely concerned I'm not going to be able to educate my kids.'' Others might say, ``I'm worried about my parents. My mom or my dad live with me and their prescription costs are going through the roof and it's a major problem for them. I'm worried about health care for my parents.'' I'm sure there are some--there are many--who would say that they're worried about wasteful government spending, that they do want to see this government not waste their hard-earned money.
