Integrity: Basic honesty and a commitment to an ethical approach to business is vital for an entrepreneur to succeed in today's business world. Social Media brings constant scrutiny to our leaders and nobody is above the law.
Meritocracy: Society should reward merit. Entrepreneurs grind, drive, push, and pound the pavement. That hard work, combined with intelligence, talent, and competence, deserves both financial and social success. Whigs believe in awarding merit.
Independent Thinking: Entrepreneurs challenge the status quo. The Whig's political process is pragmatic. Whig's review and analyze all possible solutions to a problem.
In addition to Whig values aligning with Entrepreneurial values, The Modern Whig Party advocates for Entrepreneurship education, founded in a long-standing principle in economic development. A Former Whig, and former President said:
Economy I consider a virtue & should be practiced by all; there is certainly no better way in which money can be laid out than in the education of children. -Zachary TaylorSpecific policies on the Modern Whig Party platform are:
- Greater emphasis on and investment in our system of public education so the creative potential of every young person is realized
- Generous grants and contracts to universities and corporations to support scientific research and development
- Maintenance of a sound safety net to promote entrepreneurial risk-taking
- Indirect investment by the general public in the commercialization of new ideas and discoveries through professionally managed public venture funds, with the profits returned to ordinary citizens as a direct "social innovation" dividend
- High schools and colleges teaching entrepreneurial skills and fostering// collaborative teamwork through inter-disciplinary projects.
