Donald Trump has released an open letter of 100 business leaders who have signed on to support him, including New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, former Reebok CEO David Perdue, and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. In the letter, the various CEOs, presidents, and founders write:
Business leaders are particularly worried about America's anemic growth prospects, making them cautious about investing and hiring. The erratic policies of the past eight years have created troubling uncertainty. Will threatened tax hikes happen? How onerous will the many new regulations be? What's next in the messy complexity of ObamaCare, which is unraveling for millions of Americans before our eyes? It clearly is, as even Bill Clinton has put it, "the craziest thing."Donald Trump is a businessman. He knows if we want to have more economic growth, real wage growth, and higher living standards, we need to focus on basic building blocks, not more Keynesian stimulus and financial engineering. Basic building blocks mean making America the best place to invest, helping American workers become more productive, and restoring America to its rightful place as the land of opportunity.
