Now more than ever, hard-working Texans need good jobs to support their families and invest in their retirement future. The national economic crisis that resulted from the failure of the previous Republican administration to regulate financial markets – in the name of “deregulation” – threatens the economic security of all Americans. Democrats are working to address the unemployment crisis by creating jobs for skilled workers. Republican policies, on the other hand, have cut and outsourced jobs, which is another reason we face tough economic times.

Democrats strongly believe in promoting entrepreneurship and consumer confidence through a market system that is checked and balanced by government to prevent financial abuses and excesses. By contrast, many Texas Republican politicians support a version of the free market system in which the highest-paid CEO’s make thousands of times more than their employees, even when there is evidence of gross corporate mismanagement.
