>So many small businesses in this country fail within the first couple years, not because they aren't successful and do well, but because of the ridiculous taxes that are extorted from them.
Yes. Many people complain about taxes. However in the USA there is a fine point that many don't understand, and that is that there are really two opposing camps complaining about taxes that often nevertheless are aligned : 1. people who call themselves libertarians, which is a term that only in North America is means what others call Classic Liberal. This is the crowd that only considers the interests of business and usually that is Big Business. People such as Margaret Thatcher, Reagan, GW Bush etc. 2. small business people, who are oppressed both by government and by Big Businesses that write the laws that policians vote for. In international political terminology these are more often in the "libertarian socialist" camp but because terminology in the US is so muddled, and people know so little about politics, they don't know it.
