>Those businesses employ the the vast majority of workers.
For my own edification, I looked this up.
There are about 125 million full-time employees in the U.S. [0] Of which, there are:
* 35 million Fortune 1000 employees [1]
* 22 million government employees [2]
So, government and the Fortune 1000 account for about 45% of all employment.
I also found a census reckoning [3] (that seems to exclude government altogether) that puts large- and medium-sized enterprises at 65% of all employment (and growing).
