    Small businesses grow, that’s how capitalism works. When OP talks about empowering individuals, that’s liberal ideology. When talking about how self-employment is better for society, that’s liberal ideology.

      That’s patently false. Most small businesses start small and never grow beyond that small stage.

      I don’t get the impression that you have any experience with small business. You certainly don’t have enough to speak with the degree of authority you have assumed.

        I know plenty of small businesses. I know none that keep to one person and aren’t disguised employees.

        But then, if there are two persons in your business, who’s the boss? And if there’s none, congrats, it’s a cooperative!

        Employment is something workers won in the early 20th century. Ask yourself why they fought for it maybe. Then come back with your arrogance.
