The MSM and their liberal worldview refuse to submit to the notion that entrepreneurs are what make this country’s economy great. Unless the jobs are created by large corporations, they don’t exist. Never mind that Microsoft, Apple, Intel and a thousand other start-ups would never have been counted under the old payroll data.

You are correct, IMHO. There has been a structural shift in the economy. Millions of people have taken their golden parachutes, severance packages, retirement nest eggs, portfolio gains and rainy day money and decided to start their own businesses. I read somewhere that LLCs are being founded at a record rate (>40% more than last year). Don’t expect the media to pick up on that, either.

It’s very sad. There are huge stories out there that are missed completely in an effort to boost Kerry. I for one have had it. If Bush loses I have purchased my last newspaper (and I’m a newspaper junkie).
