		<description>You see what you want to see.

All I see in Canada that people and a lot of media love enterpreneurs, federal,local and  city governments, universities provide financial help and research centers for new start up companies. Most people love enterpreneurs in America, they are heroes.

I see a lot of positive stories about enterpreneurs in media often and businesman are portrayed well - for example Dragon&#039;s Den show comes to mind. I always see some good news about Buffet, Soros, O&#039;Neil and many others.

If you see only negative things on CNN, well then swith the channel and watch the good news.

You see around you what you want to see.</description>

		<description>Great Post Perry! Did you know that the President is one of our biggest supporters? I&#039;ve attached his proclamation to that effect:

Presidential Documents
61259
Federal Register
Vol. 74, No. 225
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Title 3—
The President
Proclamation 8454 of November 19, 2009
National Entrepreneurship Week, 2009
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Throughout our history, American entrepreneurs have been an effective force
for innovation at home and around the world. From the airplane to the
Internet search engine to new tractors, they have pioneered technologies,
products, and processes that have improved lives and shaped the course
of our future. Today, they are fueling our economy with their creativity,
tireless work ethic, and risk-taking spirit. During National Entrepreneurship
Week, we renew our commitment to supporting American entrepreneurs,
including social entrepreneurs, who are spreading opportunity and prosperity
across our Nation.
Entrepreneurs are the engine of job creation in America, generating millions
of good jobs. Many begin with nothing more than a good idea, and translate
new products and services into vibrant businesses. To secure our Nation’s
future prosperity, we must ensure that our entrepreneurs have the tools
they need to survive and thrive.
My Administration is working to provide opportunities and conditions for
entrepreneurs to succeed. We are supporting the flow of credit by increasing
loan guarantees and reducing borrowing fees to help more Americans start
businesses. We also made the Research and Experimentation Tax Credit
permanent to help burgeoning companies afford the high costs of developing
new products and technologies. The recently formed Office of Innovation
and Entrepreneurship at the Department of Commerce is building on these
efforts with new policies and initiatives to unleash creativity and innovation,
as well as turn inspired ideas into new employment-generating businesses.
Our Nation led the world’s economies in the 20th century because we
led the world in innovation. To strengthen our position in the 21st century,
we must rededicate ourselves to harnessing the creative spirit that has made
America great.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States
of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution
and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 16 through
November 22, 2009, as National Entrepreneurship Week. I call upon all
Americans to recognize the important contributions of entrepreneurs to our
economy.

of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.

		<description>David, your perception of all entrepreneurs as richer than the average person is exactly the myth Perry is referring to. What he is saying, and it appears many here are agreeing with, is that they go through a great deal of hardship, years of not making money, struggling to meet payroll, and yet are still generous throughout. In the years of losses, their IRA stats would put them in that very poverty stricken group you were comparing them to. Yet they still give, You can&#039;t begrudge the fortunate ones who actually make it big, I think we all know the stats on what percentage of the total actually make it there, versus how many wind up losing a lot or everything along the way.
As many stated here, their motivation is not always entirely for the cash, or for selfish reasons at all, often it is just to make the best new baby widget or whatever, the rewards are secondary, and in their hearts I would suggest is a greater propensity to be generous than many who never try, yet wait in the poverty lines or their &quot;secure&quot; mid level jobs.</description>

		<description>Entrepreneurs twice as generous as especially the low income purely based on percentage of total income? Considering the percentage of giving to discretionary income may give a more accurate albeit less flattering picture (to high income earners that is).</description>

		<description>Great article, i&#039;ve never seen those stats before.  I don&#039;t give a lot but do give some which is more than my NON-entrepreneur peers.</description>
