Hillary Clinton wants you to know that she loves small businesses, and that she knows what's best for them. She's convinced that she could do a better job of running companies than their owners can.
"I will produce ways to encourage companies to share profits with their employees," she said in a speech she gave on the economy today. "That is good for workers and good for businesses. Studies show that profit sharing that gives everyone a stake in the company's success can boost productivity and put money directly into employees' pockets. It's a win-win."
No doubt profit-sharing can have this effect. But Clinton would have us believe that businesses are leaving money on the table, unable to see a profit opportunity or unwilling to take it, and are thus in need of a shove by the federal government, which knows their interests better than they do. Believe that if you will.
