I think the question should be about the balance of what a salaried employee gets and what a business owner gets. If you're working for a salary, you'll have benefits and a pension plan. You'll have an employer who takes care of all the risk. If you're a small business owner, you have a number of risks that you have to deal with. Even more importantly, as a farmer, you have weather risks that other groups don't have to contend with. You also have to make sure you have the investment income and the ability to create those jobs.
I think it's very difficult to compare a salaried worker to a small business person, because there's a different scenario. Before I started farming, I worked for a large corporation and everything was covered. I didn't lose any sleep at night. Working as a farmer, you're losing sleep, you're worried about employees, you have a number of things you have to manage, and some of these tax policies give us tools that we can use.
