How Much Small Businesses REALLY Make

You’ve heard Obama say it a thousand times, “We can’t afford to raise taxes on small business owners – anybody making less than $250,000.”  The bar has been raised somewhat lately to the point where people earning less than $400,000 are “small business owners.”   Lies!  All lies!

According to the IRS, the average income of all Sub Chapter S firms is only $100,000.  The vast majority earn less than that.
