Re Payback Time

"As a small business owner, I pay a very high amount in tax, and complex corporate structures are not an option for most of us. Still, I believe in the redistribution of wealth in a country of plenty, and fair taxation for all, not just those who can afford it."

Actually you don't pay a very high amount of tax as a small business owner. You have an annual subsidy to reduce the federal and provincial tax rate on the corporate income. In addition, you have income splitting opportunities, estate freeze strategies, creditor proofing strategies and taxable benefit strategies available to you and your family members, and the fees for professional advice to implement the strategies are tax deductible.  So I guess your concept of redistribution of wealth is somewhat limited and fairness is in the eye of the beholder.
