More on Small Businesses and the Administration

The Corner • September 3, 2010

Thanks to Kevin Hassett and Alan Viard for setting the record straight about the impact that letting the Bush tax cuts expire could have on small businesses. The numbers are clear. According to IRS data, fully 48% of the net income of sole proprietorships, partnerships, and S corporations reported on tax returns went to households with incomes above $200,000 in 2007.

From a pal in the Great Wen : John, I'm sure your mailbox has been inflated with fulsome missives on the weighty topic of porcine poets , beefy balladists and corpulent chroniclers.
