BTW, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration, a common misconception about the U.S. economy is that is dominated by huge corporations. Small business makes up roughly 99 percent of all independent enterprises in the country. Small business are defined as those that employ fewer than 500 people. This means small businesses technically dominate the markets in the United States, accounting for 52 percent of all workers.

Find ways to help the true backbone of this country.
I’m not keeping it. I’m putting it back into the companies that provide most of what we use. My ROI is minuscule but that’s not the point anyway.

Small business is great but they don’t provide all that much employment. The deli can maybe hire 2 workers at minimum wage where larger establishments hire many more at better wages.

Do small businesses provide you with your light bulbs, your car, your medications or even the cereal you had for breakfast? Of course not. And that’s why we need to bolster all phases of the economy including farmers.
