I was taught that the “higher the risk, the higher the rate” when it comes to investing. Entrepreneurs risk a lot – often mortgaging their homes to get the capital they need to start or keep a new business afloat. They’re also the ones who provide the most jobs for those of us not willing to take that type of risk, work the long hours, or have the headaches that come with getting a business to become successful. Why shouldn’t they be rewarded for that, if they’ve earned it?

So, if you win, you pay less, but if you lose, they pay you. All because you had money in the first place. Huh…?

Corporate business profits are taxed 35%, same as maximum rate for salary.
