Republicans are and should be the party of entrepreneurs, of small businesses, of those climbing the top, seeking to start a company in their garage and topple the big businesses that are there. You know, when you talk about jobs in the economy, 2/3 of all new jobs in the economy come from small businesses. Did you know there are 2.3 million Hispanic small business owners?
