The approximately 44 million small businesses in the United States provide roughly \u2154 of all new jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ortiz also notes that, relative to their share of the American population, \u201cminorities start businesses more often than their white counterparts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Minority-Owned Small Businesses Generate Wealth and Employment<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the Kaufman Foundation, 360 out of 100,000 Americans will start a business in any given month, but among Hispanics, 540 per 100,000 will do so, and that disproportionate likelihood of starting a business has had rapid economic impacts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe ratio of household wealth between whites and Hispanics went from 8:1 to 5:1 between 2013 and 2019 as Hispanics became entrepreneurial,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cThere are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/want-a-revolution-start-a-business\/\" title=\"Revolutionize by starting a business.\">10 million minority-owned small businesses<\/a> in America, generating $2 trillion of annual wealth and employing 10 million people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ortiz cites the example of the Guthrie brothers, co-owners of Detroit Chassis, which assembles frames for motorhomes and trucks. The Guthries grew the company from a small workshop into a major manufacturer that brings in more than $100 million every year and employs more than 150 people, most of whom, like the Guthrie brothers, are black.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A Large, Redistributive State Limits Economic Mobility<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ortiz argues that the American system is not rigged, and that people of all racial backgrounds can and will succeed if given the opportunity to do so. However, he argues that a large, redistributive state will cause the opposite of its desired effect by favoring large and well established firms over new businesses, limiting economic mobility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSmall businesses, because they are small, are much more vulnerable to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scotus-student-loan-case-could-have-ripple-effect\/\" title=\"SCOTUS Student Loan Case Could Have Ripple Effect\">bad government policies<\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Minimum wages, inflation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-begs-oil-industry-to-lower-prices-as-energy-crisis-looms-report\/\" title=\"Biden Begs Oil Industry To Lower Prices As Energy Crisis Looms: REPORT\">rising energy costs<\/a>, and many other hardships brought on by government policy disproportionately cut into the slim profit margins of small, local firms. Without profits, small businesses cannot develop new products, or hire new workers \u2014 if they start taking on losses, they may not even be able to operate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Entrepreneurship as a Path to Positive Social Change<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cTo lift up minorities and close the racial and ethnic wealth gap,\u201d Ortiz says, \u201cwe should look to the millions of economic pioneers, many of them minority entrepreneurs, who are risking everything to make their lives, and our lives, better every day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>WATCH:<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>better solution for improving the country than social activism or political revolution, especially for minority or disadvantaged children.
