What this usually means is that the small business wants gov't handouts or a
reduced tax rate.
Pay your fair share...the unionized working class sure are.

NFIB's "glowing references" are only given when a government official
acts/votes in a way that supports small business...and that simply doesn't
describe the vast majority of democrats.

Why must you always be such a dim bulb? The "unionized working class" would
not have jobs if not for small businesses. Here's some stats for you:

Small firms (less than 500 employees)


a.. Represent more than 99.7 percent of all employers.
a.. Employ more than half of all private sector employees
a.. Pay 44.5 percent of total U.S. private payroll.
a.. Generate 60 to 80 percent of net new jobs annually.
a.. Create more than 50 percent of nonfarm private gross domestic product
(GDP).
a.. Supplied 22.8 percent of the total value of federal prime contracts
(about $50 billion) in FY 2001.
a.. Produce 13 to 14 times more patents per employee than large patenting
firms. These patents are twice as likely as large firm patents to be among
the one percent most cited.
a.. Are employers of 39 percent of high tech workers (such as scientists,
engineers, and computer workers ) .
a.. Are 53 percent home-based and 3 percent franchises.
a.. Made up 97 percent of all identified exporters and produced 29 percent
of the known export value in FY 2001.

Actually, you have it backwards. If it weren't for workers, there
wouldn't be any small businesses, or large businesses, for that matter.
You can have a society in which every man or woman is his or her own
producer (a farmer, a sawyer, a cobbler, et cetera, who trades with
others for sustenance, and without anything but the smallest family
businesses, but you cannot have most small or any medium or large
businesses without workers. We had such a business-less society when
this country was first settled.

Capital is subservient to labor.

I knew you'd make this point...and I really can't argue against it, except
for the exceptions you made below. However, I'd add one caveat to your
statement: businesses *can* operate without *unionized* working class.

Agreed.

So it can work...but we'd be living in the dark ages.

And vice-versa.

Yada...yada..
Same line we hear in this area..
Small business provide all the jobs so gov't should reduce/kill taxes...give
incentives to attract.. help to train employees,
give grants on and on..all at working taxoayer exoense...
After all those workers are 'lucky to have a job'...don't ya know?
