Also, I couldn’t find any business school studies, etc. about political identification and business startups after one minute of searching on google, but I did find this:
Small Business Owners Back McCain, Believe Republican Party Holds the Key to Solving Issues Important to Small Businesses
Which party do you think is better for small business?
I suppose you might have had a point before the economy crashed. I’m not so sure that a survey taken today would yield that same result. I think the GOP has squandered its reputation as the party of sound economic policy. I think most will agree that this past election is your proof. Over 65% of Americans claimed that the economy was the primary factor in their consideration for presidential candidates.
You can argue based on ‘what was’ – or you can recognize the fact that you just witnessed a major shift in conventional wisdom and perception.
That being – the GOP is no longer considered the party of fiscal conservatism, or even fiscal responsibility, for that matter.
