While I’ve worked here, I’ve began to realize the importance of small businesses (as defined by some law). I know you hear it all the time. I used to not believe they were all that importance, but now I’ve learned that: 99.7% of employers are small businesses, 50% of private sector jobs are created by small businesses, and small businesses account for 75% of all new jobs. See: http://usgovinfo.about.com/cs/businessfinance/a/sbatopten.htm
IMO Law makers need to be much more careful about making business more difficult for small businesses.
A quote that our CEO Clate Mask uses in his email signature sums it all up.
”The difference between the great and good societies and the regressing, deteriorating societies is largely in terms of the entrepreneurial opportunity and the number of such people in the society. I think everyone would agree that the most valuable 100 people to bring into a deteriorating society would be not 100 chemists, or politicians, or professors, or engineers, but rather 100 entrepreneurs.” –Abraham Maslow
This is so true. It seems like the government spends a little too much time bailing out big businesses when they should be looking more at this. If people have drove the business billions of dollars into the whole you know what that screams to me? Not bail them out, more like let them disect that company and sell it off to more competant people. On another note, if you look at the richest people on the earth, and most millionaries, you’ll find that most of them started their own business, they weren’t you’re average employee.
