I think we need to pose this question every time we hear about the mythical "job creator". Very few rich people are small business owners. And the only jobs they create are gardeners, Nanny's, and maids.

If they do net over $250K, what's there to complain about? Pay your damn share and STFU. You're doing damn well!
