Statistically, far more people are employed by small businesses vs.
large businesses. It may be possible that the larger the business
the more difficult it is to run effectively.

I guess you could draw the same analogy between small government vs.
large government. In any case, people who run businesses in the
private sector tend to be more accountable than people who run
government (i.e. politicians) and they tend to get less of a pass
when they screw up.
