You do make a good point that’s always been true: In some areas of endeavor, small to medium size companies can succeed with flexibility and lack of cumbersome management, etc.
The problem is that in many areas, the advantages of being small have been overwhelmed by the disadvantages that I described above. There are still many “niches” that work, but there are fewer every year, and they are not making a big enough contribution to the total.
My own opinion is that the Dems (for the most part) want to suffocate the small to medium size business owners, because as a class, those business owners are usually fiercely independent, and (for the most part) opposed to the liberal agenda.
As for your own endeavor, I wish you all the success in the world! (Well, ok, maybe leave 50% for the rest of us!)

Fortunately, I work in a business where knowledge, dedication and passion can still go a long way ... and doesn't require a lot of overhead costs!
