The majority of American citizens that are unemployed are such for three reasons, roughly.  They have no idea how to live comfortably in the great outdoors by their own means as millions of people did on this continent for 20,000 years before Europe found the damn thing.  They have no idea what their employers value most and so are easily fired or layed-off.  They were never told that going into business for yourself and being your own employer is an act of will, a decision that has nothing to do with paying a lawyer to help you incorporate, paying the town to approve your building permits, paying the State and the Fed more than double what employees pay in withheld varieties of rape...none of those mean anything other than tactical details. Being a business owner is more a point of view than anything else, and that point of view has been forcibly stolen from us.
