Live and work in DC my friend. All kinds of folks around here do very well with one and two person consulting shops working for World Bank, various agencies, etc. You know, like Tom Daschle's wife that we all used to complain about. You set up a little LLC with yourself as sole proprietor and you start peddling your influence. It's the stuff our democracy is made of.
That it may well be. However, your comment implied that it was what the vast mahority of sucessful small businesses were, and therefor we shoulden't worry about taxing them so heavily.
That is not true.
