Absolutely right.  That's the whole idea.  In thier world-view,
which I think is widely held in America, businessmen (and women!)are the
heroes.  Adversity -- like unemployment -- spurs the heroic to action --
to take risks, start businesses.  In this way the heroes provide incomes
and opportunity for their meeker brethren.  Taxing the heroes reduces both
their ability
and their incentive to take risks.
