Though you may have heard politicians in the USA profess their love of small business, in general, their actions are contrary to it. Both parties regularly do things which are good for big business, but which do hardly anything to 1. reduce the tax burden on small businesses, 2. reduce the paperwork/bureaucracy burden on small businesses, 3. make it easier for a larger percentage of society to engage in the creation of new businesses. Even though ACA (Obamacare) has been somewhat of a step in the right direction, it's still the case that if you want _good_ insurance, you better be part of a group healthcare plan (i.e. not an individual plan.)
