> Because raising taxes isn't going to keep someone who would already be considering starting a business from starting a business.

How can you say that? Have you polled everyone starting businesses? This very thing happened to me with a distribution business in which taxes, and the potential for them being raised, made the business unprofitable compared to the same business running in China.

Subjective and impossible to calculate but by all means because not everybody can find a way we should kill it for everyone right? Because not everyone is smart enough to become a medical Dr, we should ban the profession or implement pay caps right?
