If you DO get the laws changed, I will expatriate myself to a freer country than the United States and take my capital--AND the taxes I pay on same--with me.
And a bunch of small business owners will be joining me.
Discover the joys of a small percentage of the tax base taking an inordinately high percentage of the tax receipts with them as they leave.
When the top 1% of all taxpayers pay 37% of the taxes, you have three choices:
1. Accept that you're getting a free ride, and get used to the idea of government of, by, and for that 1% of taxpayers;
2. Say "tax the rich even more," chase 'em away, and then wonder why the hell your taxes just tripled;
3. Say "Good grief, this is stupid, let's try reducing taxes to a sane level," and watch the economy improve.
You're going for Option #2.
Fine. Just quit posturing as a conservative.
Who is John Galt?

Sounds like a great idea,Poo, , when can we book your ticket. I am sure there are plenty of people/companies which will be happy for taking your business.
Note, you may wish to set up your business in another country and sell your stuff there, and pay their taxes, and support their government, and have their 'rights'.
China sounds like a good place for you. You should be very happy living in China. (But gesh, we let in Chinese stuff. No, better pick another country where we embargo - how about Iran - yes move to Iran).
