That doesn't mean that they "basically carry the country" as you so outrageously and naively claimed.
Prove your point.

So you are basing your attack/defense on yourdefinition of "basically carrying the country" and how it differs from mine? That's mighty rich of ya! Of course your definition is correct as you have distinctly and clearly pointed out where you are right and I am wrong.

Oh you just chose to assume your view is right and mine wrong. Why not. Brian has studied my posts and political opinions for the last 8 1/2 years and has determine that doth protest too little and you are just picking up the slack. Good job.

Small businesses make up more than 99.7% of all employers

Small businesses create more than 50 percent of the nonfarm private gross domestic product (GDP)

Small businesses employ about 50 percent of all private sector workers

Small businesses make up 97 percent of exporters and produce 29 percent of all export value.

The latest figures show that small businesses create 75 percent of the net new jobs in our economy.


Uh yeah they do.

yea there's all of those unemployed and not paying taxes, illegals some of who pay taxes and some who don't and let's not forget all those government workers, both Federal and local including politicians who are paid directly using taxes.
