Actually, the small business community until this latest frontal attack on their income, reputations and survival has usually been far too busy struggling to stay above water to have the time and energy to make a noise about their income and their taxes.

The ones with plenty of time and energy and money and organizers to constantly make noise about taxes (they want higher taxes since most tax increases in recent years go straight to their pay, perks and pensions) and compensation (always increases which is why they now on average do significantly better than the typical SB owner/operator and with no risk and much less effort) are the increasingly large and rich and powerful monopoly public sector unions and their pet political enablers.

If nothing else, the trust fund twins Trudeau and More Dough Morneau appear to have finally woken up the SB community to this increasingly unfair and ultimately (as in Greece) unsustainable assault by the takers on the makers.
