       What would be your ideal candidate's preferred philosophy
       regarding JOB CREATION?

       I'm not an American, but my own view regarding the creation of
       jobs in any country is to do with the fact that Big Business
       generally likes to achieve economies of scale so that they can
       create efficiencies that enable them to do more with fewer
       workers, while smaller businesses generally like to take on
       people as they grow. So, in short, Big Business likes to fire
       people while smaller businesses (when allowed) like to take on
       more people.
       So, corporation tax regimes should favour smaller, growing
       companies - whether in the energy sector or other industries -
       while red tape that holds managers back from recruiting people
       should be scrapped for small firms. For example, here in the UK
       workers' rights such as maternity leave and greater job
       protection means that managers of small businesses need to think
       long and hard before they make a hiring decision.
       Sadly, politicians of all hues appear to see Big Business as
       their main constituency...

       Sadly I must agree with you.  Our congress is beholden to the
       business lobbies.  If you don't give them money they can't seem
       to hear what you're saying.
