Joe was a set-up, turns out he makes less than $50K a year so he is in no position to buy a business with annual net revenue of $250K.

But he does represent something bigger, in the sense of workers who would like to work for themselves, look wistfully at a dimly understood opportunity, and out of misinformation worry that the tax system will deny them.
