Jack Kemp Leaves A Small Business Legacy

May 11, 2009 RSS Feed Print

Former Congressman, vice presidential candidate and free-market promoter Jack Kemp died last week. Today, Jim Blasingame, host of the Small Business Advocate radio show (and who I've interviewed in the past) has a nice tribute to Kemp in the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Jack Kemp cared about small businesses, and he believed in the importance of American entrepreneurship. For those small-business owners who, like me, just want the government to not take too much of our precious capital away in taxes and get out of our way as we attempt to serve customers, create jobs and achieve financial success, we've lost a champion and a friend.

Risky Business

Matt Bandyk, a reporter for U.S. News, explores capitalism from where it all begins, with the entrepreneur, whose risk taking and experimentation provide the roots from which the rest of the economy grows. As much courage as it takes to create one's own business, even the entrepreneur needs some help, and this blog will look at news, trends, and practical advice for starting and running a small business.
