Obviously, healthy business creates jobs. However, now the Republican Party is finding acute dissatisfaction in its own ranks with its traditional bias toward cheap labor and expensive management.

There are actually Republican workers who keep business alive and now they are demanding to be heard. They are also customers, and without customers there is no business. Customers are the unsung job creators.

Watch out for politicians who are trying to co-opt this anger for their own purposes, creating scapegoats and stereotypes, and do not truly represent the interests of we the people who are fed up with the dysfunction of our polarized Congress that only listens to the vested interests with the biggest bribes.
