It's most certainly true in France and I guess in other Latin countries.

But but but « entrepreneur » is a French word!

So how did entrepreneurs like Sarkozy and Berlusconi ever get elected?

Entrepreneurs aren't worshiped like gods by default just for being entrepreneurs, that's all.

Sarkozy is not an entrepreneur. It's theorically a lawyer but he is a full time politician for 30 years (He was mayor of Neuilly since 1983).
