Even though this is not income, that is how the government views it. That said look at this chart: You'll notice something, the two largest contributors are income tax and payroll tax followed by corporate tax. To a business owner this is THREE taxes in one. A business owner is taxed for owning a business (corporate), having employees (payroll) and having an income (income). Now these are two taxes the average non-owner doesn't have.
