That's objectively incorrect.
Just in the US alone small businesses, those companies under 500 employees, account for 63% of job creation. 97% of all exporters, 32% of all export value.
Also 43% of GPD and 46% of employment.
And before you hit me with 46% means 54% left over, therefore bigger number wins... That 54% is all companies larger than 500 people, not just the "few giants" you think are running the world.
The source of this information is the US Chamber of Commerce.
