Pro-business is not a good thing.
Pro-free-market is a good thing.
And they aren't the same thing.
The government cannot know what training is needed. What companies are hiring today is not what they are hiring next year. They can't know if money is better taken from individuals and businesses to spend it on parking lots is a better use of the money. If having a parking lot was a better use, then some company would build it and turn a profit from it. The goods and services that the money would be spent on by private entities actually allocates that money towards the most productive parts of the economy. Government allocation is inefficient, misdirected, not responsive to market conditions, based on political influence and is always the result of money being forcibly taken from those who earned it.
You put it more eloquently than I did. I agree 100%. Thank you.
