A falta de procura

"Small businesses, defined as companies with fewer than 500 employees (Moi ici: Critério norte-americano que Chuck Blakeman tanto critica), account for almost two-thirds of all net new job creation. They also contribute disproportionately to innovation, generating 13 times as many patents, per employee, as large companies do."
Trecho retirado do interessante artigo "Restarting the US small-business growth engine". Aprecio esta clareza e sinceridade:
"Myth #4. Taxes and regulation are small business’s primary constraint."
O que dizem os líderes associativos, é do que podem fazer a nível geral, uma espécie de minimo múltiplo comum. Na verdade, temos:
"Many business leaders will tell you that taxes and regulation are the biggest barriers to starting up and enlarging small businesses. It’s true that some regulations and laws have inhibited the growth of small businesses; the Sarbanes–Oxley Act, for instance, had the unexpected consequence of discouraging some companies from making initial public offerings, a step typically followed by a burst of hiring. But taxes and government oversight are not the primary barriers to stimulating the growth of small businesses. In the latest recession, their owners pointed to a lack of market demand as the primary problem, as well as an inability to obtain financing."
