Conservatives: The Builders of Wealth. Liberals: The Critics in the Wings.

The entrepreneurial dominance of conservatives doesn’t just create wealth—it creates resentment. Deep down, many liberals understand the truth: conservatives hold the keys to America’s economic engine. They build the businesses, take the risks, and reap the rewards, while liberals, often unwilling to embrace the uncertainties of entrepreneurship, find themselves as employees within systems shaped by conservative hands. This knowledge is a bitter pill to swallow, and envy has begun to take root. I am talking about entrepreneurship and not solo-preneurship.

The ideological divide between conservatives and liberals is perhaps most evident in how they view the economy:

• Conservatives see the economy as a meritocracy where rewards go to those who take initiative and create value.
• Liberals prioritize collective security and advocate for redistribution policies that conservatives view as punishing success.

This ideological chasm is reflected in hiring practices, workplace culture, and even community development. Conservatives, as business owners, often resist liberal policies that threaten to undermine the profitability and autonomy of their enterprises, such as higher taxes, increased regulations, and union expansion. No wonder conservative business owners are less likely to hire liberals into their businesses.

Envy and Jealousy: The Unspoken Divide

Liberals’ preference for structured, low-risk careers in government, unionized positions or the corporate world often leaves them financially dependent on the very people they criticize. They may scoff at conservative values like self-reliance and free markets, but their livelihoods—whether through private-sector jobs, government programs, or public infrastructure—are invariably tied to the success of conservative entrepreneurs. Even colleges and universities that were established by industrialists are now infiltrated by liberals (12 to 1).

This dynamic fosters a quiet but growing sense of envy and frustration:

• Liberals resent the financial independence and power that entrepreneurship provides, yet they remain reluctant to embrace the sacrifices and risks it requires.
• They advocate for higher taxes and stricter regulations, seemingly blind to the reality that these measures often target the very businesses and individuals who fund their paychecks and public programs.

This envy isn’t lost on conservatives. They see it, they feel it, and they factor it into their decisions—especially when it comes to hiring.

Why Would Conservatives Hire People Who Hate Them?

For conservative small business owners, the workplace is an extension of their values: grit, independence, and personal responsibility. Hiring decisions are no longer just about skills or experience—they’re about culture, loyalty, and trust. This is where the divide grows even sharper.

1. Perceived Hostility:
   • Conservatives are increasingly reluctant to hire liberals because of a simple truth: why would you hire someone who despises what you stand for?
   • Many conservatives view liberal candidates as potential sources of conflict in the workplace, bringing in ideological baggage that could disrupt team cohesion and loyalty.
   • Liberal rhetoric that vilifies wealth and success doesn’t sit well with employers who’ve built their livelihoods through hard work and sacrifice. Why risk bringing that resentment into your business?
2. Cultural Fit:
   • Conservative business owners prioritize harmony in the workplace. They want employees who share their drive, values, and work ethic.
   • Hiring someone with opposing beliefs feels like inviting a critic into your home—a person more likely to question or undermine your decisions rather than work in alignment with your goals.
3. Protecting Their Legacy:
   • Conservatives see their businesses as extensions of themselves. They take pride in what they’ve built and want to surround themselves with people who respect that, not people who view their success as a problem to be solved.

A Vicious Cycle of Division

Over 78 percent of US employment is by small business. The reluctance to hire liberals creates a feedback loop:

• Liberals face fewer opportunities in small businesses, pushing them further into public-sector roles or progressive industries where their values align more closely.
• Conservatives strengthen their control over private-sector wealth and economic power, amplifying the divide.
• As conservatives grow wealthier and more influential, liberals’ envy intensifies, fueling further polarization and calls for redistributive policies that conservatives see as punitive.

This dynamic plays out in hiring practices, workplace culture, and even broader economic policy debates. Conservatives, armed with the knowledge that they’re the economic backbone of America, feel no obligation to placate a group that often vilifies their success. Liberals, increasingly excluded from the entrepreneurial world, double down on policies and narratives that demonize wealth accumulation and conservative values.

The Broader Implications

This growing rift raises uncomfortable but necessary questions: can a society thrive when its creators and critics are locked in ideological opposition? Conservatives, confident in their economic dominance, are unlikely to change course. They’ll continue to build, hire selectively, and consolidate power. Liberals, faced with limited pathways to wealth creation, may deepen their reliance on government intervention, corporate jobs and public-sector careers.

This isn’t just an economic divide—it’s a cultural reckoning. As conservatives solidify their role as the drivers of American prosperity, liberals must decide: will they continue to criticize from the sidelines, or will they step into the arena of entrepreneurship and compete on equal footing? The latter is unlikely to happen as the liberal mindset is not fit for entrepreneurship.
