I don't remember this ever not being the case. Even when I was little back on the 90s, everyone's "dream job" was owning a small business. If you didn't own your own """"small"""" business, you'd better be a doctor or something because otherwise you were seen as "unsuccessful."

It's constantly reinforced. As I got older and looked into how businesses were built, I ended up turning into a commie because there was no way to own a business without doing unethical, ghoulish shit. Even though those methods may not be illegal, you aren't getting ahead without destroying other people's lives.
