BTW plenty of
small businesses that actually employ people make barely any profit,
so raising their rates doesn't really matter, and many _highly_
profitable "small businesses" are essentially self-employed
consultants in wall street, banking, and other sectors where money
flows freely. They aren't creating any jobs. I say tax 'em! Down with
plutocracy!

My oldest daughter and her husband (and now their 2nd son) own/run a
supermarket. They employ about 30 people, mostly part time workers.
