Small Business Promoted by Mastercard

Mastercard has termed owning your own small business "priceless". No suits, no cubicles, no corporate ladder to climb. Really. I just find it a little amusing that this giant worldwide corporation is promoting small business ownership.I know, they just want to make more money but they have tons of ways of doing that without promoting small business ownership as an alternative to the corporate ladder to success. Could it be that small business ownership has finally joined the mainstream? Could it be that we are in for massive growth in this area?

I wonder what the corporate ladder climbers think of this ad? Maybe on days that the traffic to work is horrendous, when the boss treats them like dirt, when they don't get the raise or promotion they were expecting, or maybe when they get laid off, they might think of this add and wonder . " Owning your own small business: priceless".
