Real supply-siders believe either (1) that unemployment is mostly voluntary and the unemployed should get off their asses and start a business or something instead of whining and looking for a hand-out; or (2) that the unemployed are unemployed because well-meaning entreprenuers can't create jobs for them thanks to bureaucratic red-tape, high taxes that punish success, and government regulations that force businessmen to pay workers more than they're worth. or some combination of (1) and (2). Remember that back in September, Dick Armey publicly opposed extending unemployment and health benefits on the grounds that such hand-outs were "not commensurate with the American spirit." Ellen
