re: Corporate power

Oops, didn't read it- just grabbed the numbers:)
It goes on:
"Census data show there were 5.7 million firms with
employees and 17.6 million without employees in 2002 (and
18.6 million without employees in 2003). Applying the sole
proprietorship growth rates to the nonemployer figures and similar
Department of Labor growth rates to the employer figures
produces the 24.7 million figure. Small firms with fewer than
500 employees represent 99.9 percent of the 24.7 million
businesses, as the most recent data show there are 17,000
large businesses."
My assumption was wrong, and not sure I can apply the math to this since large number of business are owned by a single entity [corporate or individual]. Anyway I'll finish reading this reference before making any other foolish statements:)
