Ted, Then that business has very weak margins and probably shouldn't continue. Any business that is susceptible to slight fluctuations of any kind is not a strong one.

Start-ups and small businesses can't afford any more pressures than they already have from taxes, regulations, and competition. You're focusing on the ones that aren't efficient and probably shouldn't be allowed to survive, but there are many other businesses that need to get over the initial barriers to entry, as well as businesses making certain transitions that have to survive lean periods.

At least you confirmed a basic theory of taxation: Higher taxes means fewer businesses means less tax revenues.
