USA Today:

Small businesses are the little economic engine that can, a new report out today says. The USA's more than 20 million small companies produced 50% of the USA's private, nonfarm gross domestic product, says a study released by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The study covers 1998-2004, and confirms findings of previous research, the SBA says.

This is our great bulwark against unionization, and it's a precious thing. No wonder unions are frantically lobbying to get government to impose on small business the same kind of strictures unions themselves have imposed on big business -- safety regs, health care mandates, and so on.
