Minorities do poorly under Republicans? Don’t tell that to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Current data is showing that in 2002 Hispanics owned approximately 1.6 million businesses. That would be a 31% increase from 1997. This growth was 3 times the national average, with the businesses generating over $222 billion in revenue.

And here I thought the Republican Creed of creating an environment that promotes entrepreneurship and the ability for anyone to become successful who wants too, wasn’t working.
