One of the values we need to promote is the dignity of hard work. The newly arrived immigrants, legal or not, have a yearning to work their way up in society. We can win hearts by recognizing and rewarding their success. For the broad population we need to recognize and reward small business success. Republicans should initiate some highly visible programs at local levels and national levels to give awards to the most innovative new businesses, or the most new employees hired.

Yes, and explain *why* work has dignity and offer policies to make that insight meaningful.

Very well said , Bob - I agree wholeheartedly. It is so refreshing to read in this thread about something that would lift people up instead of put people down. Both sides have been doing mainly the latter - especially over the last twenty years or so.
