Am I saying these numbers are the real numbers? No
Is it possible that 95% of small business make less than 250 if the average owner makes 250? Sure, it just depends on what the actual numbers are, so until you can prove otherwise, I am inclined to believe the numbers at face value.

Think about it this way...you don't have a hard time believing that 5% of the population pays 95% of the taxes...Very large or small numbers can skew averages way off from what you might think.
Eh. I guess you're right but I just have a hard time believing that out of 5 million small businesses only 5% are doing well enough to support half the jobs in this country. You're talking about 250,000 businesses making up for 4.75 million basically tiny businesses. I can see where you're coming from but at the same time you see what I'm saying?
