Why not??  What a ridiculous comment.
Both have their own business that do very well, both keep funds in the business when it doesn't do well, those funds are invested in stocks and other growth vehicles.  On those funds invested, they will now pay 73% tax on the return of those investments..

How is this hard for a civil servant to understand?  If you have never risked anything of your own, please do not comment on something you know nothing of.
