But business expenses are deductible, so if they want to invest in growing their business, they can do that pretax anyway.

Plus, if a "small business" is not only making $250,000 in taxable income, but making enough over $250,000 that the extra money taxed at that rate is significant, they are not the local corner store that politicians want you to picture when they use the phrase "small business".
