So much for the reward part of starting and running a small business. Most small business's take on a ton of risk, go into debt or leverage their house, usually don't pay themselves much when first starting out and work extremely long hours in the hopes of making a go of the business. They hire people, pay rent or buy property, pay for advertising and salespeople, invest in inventory, pay tax as they go and operate under an ever increasing set of government rules and guidelines.  If they go broke, there is no bail out for the risk they've taken. Shame on the liberals for taking away the reward.
