The newest addition to the anti-gov't, libertarian movement is a group named "Yes We Built It!" They operate under the guise of advocating for small business, luring business owners in with the same rhetoric found at your local Tea Party Chapter meeting: Big gov't is bad, taxes are bad, all business regulations are bad, etc. Part of their mission statement complains of the heavy burden the corporate taxes impose on small businesses. Of course, small business aren't in the same tax bracket as corporations and don't pay these "corporate" taxes, which makes you wonder if these small business owners (who signed up) are really THAT unaware of how taxes work, or are they lying? If it's the latter, are they someone to do business with? At any rate, a cursory reading of their mission statement should tell you that what isn't propaganda is just plain false, and what they're advocating for is not in any way aimed at improving small business. It's part of the same old false "grassroots" movement to destroy business regulations/taxes and create a laissez-faire economic model.
