TechCrunch (March 15, 2012) We’re in the thick of a presidential election year here in the United States, which means that Democrats and Republicans are at each others’ throats even more than usual as each party fights to win votes. But even now, there is still one political issue that both sides have to get behind in order to stay in voters’ good graces: Job creation.
And since so many jobs these days are created by startups and small businesses, a number of politicians have started championing initiatives to make it easier for people to start their own companies. One such example is the Startup Act, co-authored by Republican Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas and Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia.
