Obama's class warfare scam that will increase taxes on roughly 1.2 million pass-through small businesses has been explicitly endorsed by Rockefeller and Manchin. It is estimated that 54 million Americans are employed by small businesses that pay their taxes through personal income tax. This makes it unanimous: every policy proposed by Obama hurts the economic recovery.

Who has estimated this, and by what is a "small business" measured as opposed to a medium sized or large business?

The reason I seek this clarification is that if the average shlomo on the street gets wind of this, and can adequately understand it, Obama (and perhaps even Mssrs. Rockefeller and Machin) are in considerable trouble come their next reelection bid.
