Some people genuinely believe business owners shouldn’t get any tax incentives above PAYE employees.
As if the person who takes zero risk, has no money invested, gets holiday pay, sick pay, a pension, protections, and guaranteed wages should be treated the same as the person who puts everything on the line with no safety net at all.
Running a business means years of uncertainty, sleepless nights, personal sacrifice, missed time with family, no days off, no benefits, no guaranteed income, and the very real chance of losing everything.
Meanwhile, someone with a stable job turns up, does their contracted hours, and money lands in their account every month like clockwork.
And they think the rewards should be identical?
This entitlement mentality is exactly why Britain is hostile to entrepreneurs.
If you want jobs, innovation, and growth, you reward the people who create them, not pretend they’re the same as employees who carry none of the risk.
