From Ezra Klein:
Chart of the day: America’s surprisingly tiny small-business sector.
The one thing every American politician can agree on is that small businesses are a crucial driver of the U.S. economy. So it’s somewhat surprising to discover that, as John Schmitt of the Center on Economic and Policy Research points out, the United States actually has the smallest small-business sector among wealthy countries.
Click through for the chart. The constant cries of "Raising taxes on the wealthy will cripple small business and small business is the engine of our economy!" seem a bit hollow, don't they?
