I'm not convinced that small business really is the engine driving employment. I've heard that assertion, but I'm skeptical. Anybody got any numbers on percentage of working America employed by size of company? My sense is that keeping big banks alive a few months ago probably saved more jobs than helping 1000 small businesses would have.

I'm all for lowering barriers to economic activity, though, provided potential (or historical) abuses are regulated against.

Just out of curiosity, ace, what do you do in your business?
