On: The United States is not the nation of small businesses

Is this just upmodded because people here like to bash Europe? A simple google search shows that the poster is just wrong.

Please tell us in detail what he said that was wrong, and what sources show the correct facts.

Can you not check for yourself. Is your only method of retrieving information people on hacker news?

I don't see anything wrong with requesting that someone back up their claims in a discussion. Your suggestion that the rest of us should just RTFM (or in this case google it) adds no value whatsoever.
