That I understand, but doesn't really have much to do with capital gains taxes or taxes on the highest earners who don't spend anywhere close to 100% of their income anyways.

I just keep hearing the republican robots on TV talking about how we have to do more to help (i.e. cut taxes for) small businesses because they're the ones who create all the jobs.

I fail to see how the taxes paid on profit correlates to how many employees they need to run their operation.
