Are Nonemployer Businesses Really Entrepreneurial?

Your interpretation of the data matches my analysis of US Census Bureau and SBA/IRS statistics. Interpreting the statistics are not hard. Basic math right?

However, I am puzzled. It seems that every time our state and federal government legislators are in session, they are adding more difficulty for entrepreneurs to start or expand firms. In short, we don't have a lack of jobs in the USA. We have a lack of entrepreneurs.

What does this say about the education system in the USA? Basically, the only education widely distributed is how to be an employee. Very little training can be found through our public education system on how to be an entrepreneur.

Could this lead to the failure of our economy and the necessity of socialism? Think about about it. Less than 2% of the population creates the jobs for 98% of the population. The vast majority of our populace don't know how to (or is afraid to) be self reliant, self motivated, or self supportive.
