Another SK educational announcement:
1. The small business is what drives growth in the United States.
2. The small businesses are NOT the 1% as you described.
3. Without GOV intervention and draining money from the economy, more small businesses would survive and be able to compete with large businesses. The increased competition would allow good employees to change jobs from one employer to another for a higher salary THUS increasing salaries from the saved monies from taxes. Your argument is becoming more true, as more burdens are put into place on the small businesses in America by lobbyists from the large businesses. This means the small guys can’t compete and only the big guys have a piece of the pie and YOU have no bargaining chip to increase your salary.

I’m sure that makes sense to you. I have no idea how it’s the least bit related to the topic or the least bit responsive to anything I’ve said.
But for what it’s worth, I agree with you on point 1. I agree with you on point 2, although I never described small business as part of the 1%. And as to point 3….well..I don’t know what your point is and much of it makes no sense at all. And I help run a small business whose only clients are big business, and whose biggest competition is big business and we’ve enjoyed average growth of over 150% per year growth over the last 5 years. And I see neither government intervention nor any money drain in my industry.
