I strive never to forget the real world consequences of my decisions on individuals, businesses and government.
Liberals tend to be much more concerned about business and corporations as the oppressors. They look to government as the solution. On the Right it's the opposite.

Whenever I tour my district and I ask small businesspeople 'what can I do to help?,' they tell me to just get government out of the way and they'll create the jobs and grow on their own.
As a businessperson, I don't have the power to change the government. That is in the hands of the political leaders. However, as a taxpayer, we have the right to be critical of the government and demand change.

You cannot have a government for and by the people if it is not represented by all of the people.
We need to allow people to bypass government... to look to themselves for solving problems rather than asking the government to do things for them.
