>they think the texas millionaire with 4 houses is a small business owner
That is a very likely assumption.

>Among the top 1% of earners ($550k+ per year), 34.9% of income comes from business ownership. It’s even more among the top 0.1% ($2.3M per year), at 43.1%.
There are more people owning a car dealership or whatever small local business among the 0.1% income earners than corporate executives, etc.
