Re: US #12 in Entrpreneurship

What is worse, some of our best entrepreneurs are not even FROM here. When I worked at Athena Controls, our CTO/CEO was Dave Vos, a South African. An article published in a South African newspaper mentioned him and two other South Africans who made it big. The problem from their perspective is that...

US #12 in Entrpreneurship

US 12th in entrepreneurship? That's something that wasn't mentioned in the SOTU: http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/180431/american-entrepreneurship-dead-alive.aspx Maybe when Obama was talking about all those new taxes he sort forgot about it.
