In the US entrepreneurs are supported by opportunities that simply do not exist in Canada.  While many disparage the US, they have created an amazing business culture.  Government ministries for example set 10 percent of their budget aside for creating entrepreneurial opportunities.  
In Canada, the focus is on protecting and supporting eceryone from birth to death.  Everything has become the responsibility of the government.  And we direct so much of our wealth in this direction and view successful business owners and the wealthy only as targets to further fund the situation. 
My point is that while the article writer makes some good points, fundamentally our government and our society does not encourage risk taking.  With recent attacks on small businesses, its clear our government doesn't appreciate that providing incentives to risk takers is very much worth it to our society as a whole regardless of the ideological 'unfairness'.
