Editorial See other Editorial Articles Title: Columnist: Dems Want Blacks to Rely on Government A conservative author and columnist is advising black business owners to push for an extension of the Bush administration's tax cuts. Ron Miller, who is also a veteran and a member of the tea party movement, says liberal Democrats might as well be telling black businesses to "drop dead" when it comes to their lack of interest in extending the Bush tax cuts. "Black businesses actually soared under those tax cuts," Miller reports. "We had the largest increase in the number of black entrepreneurs from 2002 to 2007, we had a 60.5-percent increase in the number of black-owned businesses during that time, and the overall increase in businesses was 18 percent." But he points out that while the Democratic Party has failed to notice, it has not escaped the attention of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. Ron Miller (columnist, commentator)"The president of the Black Chamber of Commerce indicated that he didn't see this as a coincidence," the conservative columnist notes. "A lot of people would probably want to try to find other reasons why this significant increase occurred, but he attributed it directly to the policies of the Bush administration" -- not just for its tax policies, but also for its efforts to limit regulations, like excessive paperwork, on small businesses. All things considered, Miller decides it is "a cruel irony" that liberals, who declare themselves to be best friends with the black community, would rather keep blacks subservient to government than encourage them to create their own wealth. He argues that in order to keep alive the view that the U.S. is a "fundamentally flawed" nation that only Democrats can redeem, the party needs to have a group that feels they are not getting their fair share. So Miller says "they've become experts at persuading the black community...that there is something owed them, that society has not yet rewarded them adequately. As long as they can keep that mindset alive, they're always going to have that support," he concludes. And because the black community has proven to be the Democrat's most loyal constituency, they suffer the most, he adds. But as long as they believe that they have reason for bitterness and resentment, "we won't see that change," Miller laments.
