I already said I disagree with all new taxes. The people they employ, however are not screwed because their salaries are still deducted as business expenses for net income is computed for tax purposes. No we don't all pay for it.
I don't want the feral gubmint to have more money, and I think that taxes should be cut for everyone. But this small business owner as hero of the country argument is a bit much. The professional who earns a salary has invested just as much, works just as hard, and has just as much at risk, perhaps more.
Bullcrap. Total garbage. And I am a salaried professional, not a business owner.
