Bus - because that article is based upon rock hard statistics like "found that only 14% of respondents
said they had $200,000 or more in annual income."
Have you ever spoken to a small business owner and asked them how much they make? 99% of them (and I am one of the right now) will tell you that "they dont make anything / dont take a salary / etc.," but yet somehow these same people still account for half the millionaires in the country. I dont care who tells you, the primary goal of a large corporation is to increase the share price, but the primary goal of a small business is to minimize taxes. I just got back from a conference where there were over 200 small business owners doing what I do, and as wealthy as they were, not one of them told me that they were making any money. Not one of them. Small business owners fear the tax man like the plague, and consequently they have the right to fear one of these candidates far more than the other......
