Entrepreneurship is the name of the game for job creation.
Everyone knows that Big Business runs the country, spending the most, both under and above the table, influencing how congress votes and who gets elected to congress.
But do the create jobs? Nope. Per the Wilson Quarterly:
"When asked in September 2008, at the height of the financial crisis, on whom the health of the economy depended, 70 percent of those surveyed answered "entrepreneurs." This faith is not misplaced. A study by current and former Census Bureau researchers show that virtually all of the net new jobs created in the United States between 1980 and 2005 - roughly 40 million - were generated by new firms (five years old or younger). This is a remarkable statistic, for what it means is that all other firms collectively hired no more people than they let go: On net, all other firms hired no one."
The friend who posted this also said: "So, now we know that not only does big business run our country in a immoral and detrimental fashion, but we also know that they do not create new jobs.
"I'm proud to know that my distaste for big business has its basis in reality, even though I detest the reality.
"Someone once asked me why I hated rich people. I don't. I've met plenty of them that I like and enjoy. It's big business I hate, and the truth is that only rich men and women are at the helm of big business. So the answer is that I don't hate people for being rich but I hate what they turn into when they also have the power to run and ruin our lives."
Right on!
So much for Big Business creating jobs
