No, you've misunderstood. I'm aware of how prevalent those kinds of businesses are, but the goal of this conversation isn't to provide a full legalese explanation or complete set of policy. The purpose is to talk about and have a sense of what the fuck we should be doing. Of course there is going to need to be a different set of rules for businesses with few employees, I never said otherwise. Of course there is going to need to be exceptions, I never said otherwise.
But you've jumped to conclusions instead of asking and having an actual conversation about what this would look like.
Worse, I'd argue that sole partnerships, simple partnership, etc already are employee owned. So even if I was saying that the previous stated limits should be applied with no exceptions or other considerations, it largely wouldn't have anything to do with those kinds of businesses.
Stop gaslighting.
You replied to a comment where I had presented the case of a small business, valued at $150,000 to $250,000. I presented that hypothetical small business as an example of unrealized gains.
When I asked your preference, you stated:
After responding to an example of a small, $250,000 business, you used unequivocal language about businesses to demonstrate your point. You certainly did "say otherwise".
My grandmother could make that "jump" in her wheelchair, and she died three years ago.
Your plan is not particularly well formed and/or you are communicating it rather poorly. Slow down, take your time, present it reasonably, and be prepared for reasonable criticism.
