Small business owners overwhelmingly support higher taxes for the rich
Republicans can never come right out and admit that their policies are all about heaping money on the richest 1 percent. That would obviously be political suicide. Instead, they rely on phony language. For example, they’re not the super-rich, they’re “job creators.” Similarly, Republicans falsely claim that taxes on the rich are actually targeting “small businesses.”
In fact, a large majority of small business owners believe millionaires don’t pay their fair share in taxes, according to a new poll [PDF], and believe their taxes should be increased.

It should be noted that 50 percent of the respondents of the poll identified themselves as Republicans or “independent leaning Republican.” Yes, even Republican business owners believe the rich are getting special treatment. As it turns out, the only people who support continued giveaways to the rich are establishment Republicans and the millionaires and big corporations that fund them.
