Well the lack of job creation can't be blamed on taxes. Bush cut their taxes, and yet, those "job creators" did not create any jobs, although the luxury goods businesses did just fine during the recession. When will people wise up? If you want a business--cater to the wealthy. They are very busy spending when they are not "creating jobs."
Its very difficult to start a new business. My wife and I started one about 10 years. For the first few years we didn't make anything on it. But the last 3-4 years it has done quite well.
The big thing in our favor was that we did not depend on it for our income. Many people that start their own business do. Its a tough way to go but if you can (and thats the operative word) keep at it you may make a go of it.
Gee, I wonder why businesses were failing in 2008-2011...I wonder if the OP has any idea what was going on during those years.

Pretty obvious junk partisan "research". Which explains why it is in the opinion section rather than in real news, huh?
The data in the study is from 1978-2011. By the way, there are plenty of liberal opinion spin pieces disguised as regular news. I didn't even mention Obama in the OP, and you guys get all defensive.

The trend in government growth, redevelopment and institutional investors are a result of the same players. There has been increasing consolidation. This has been exponential since the 80's.
Most of the money gets slushed into the stock market where actually job creation is only tenuiously connected to the "investment". Mostly it just creates asset bubbles.
If we want to encourage job creation then we need to find a way to encourage people to NOT put the money in the stock market and instead to actually put it into a new small business in the US. That's where Republican talking points always fall down and why trickle down theory doesn't ever really work in the real world or at least only very inefficiently.

Actually the government is smaller now than it was in the 1980s, or even the 1960s
Not to mention the businesses that are never even started thanks to onerous regs and government meddling in the marketplace.
Henry Ford if alive would probably say **** it, if he had to start up now.
Hard to imagine there was once time where the most interaction people had with government was pretty much the postal service.
Smaller? I call b.s. , how can anyone make such a ridiculous claim with all the new laws that are passed upon us annually?
He provided a link, go look.
