If more than 2/3 of all small businesses (and small businesses according to the Small Business Administration is a business employing 500 people or less - or 99.7% of all American businesses) declare their personal incomes <of the owner(s)> as their business incomes, how would that be affected by Obama's tax proposals?
go here and see that there are size standards for every industry under the North American Industry Classification Standards: 2010 CFR Title 13, Volume 1
500 employees is a bit of a shorthand due to the variety of size standards
but i see little impact to small business owners who claim the income of the business as their own on their federal tax returns
i suspect you were trying to make a point there. i was unable to recognize itRegardless, the fact still stands that 2/3 of all small business owners claim the income of their business as their own on their federal tax returns. What does that inherently mean? I believe it means a lot of small business owners will be those citizens above the $250,000/yr threshold.
what you have presented is a propaganda piece funded by charles koch/koch industriesBesides, when the government tries to help small businesses, it actually hurts all businesses and taxpayers, see the small business myth:

Taxes remove money from circulation. Propaganda or not, higher tax rates mean there is less money available to stimulate. To further the point why would the government simultaniously initiate QE2, and raise taxes?what you have presented is a propaganda piece funded by charles koch/koch industries
that republican underwriter who funded the author of that article, the mercatus center, to conclude that global warming was actually a good thing
anybody surprised that a very rich republican is going also use the mercatus center to tout tax cuts as a cure all? how is that neocon political philosophy working out for us these days?

It would make no difference. They essentially already do that.
S-Corps do not pay income tax, the income is indicated on their personal income tax because they have to issue a K-1 to each share holder (similar to a W2 or 1099). Each individual then includes his/her K-1 income on his/her personal income tax and pays normal income tax on it. LLCs either file a partnership income tax form (in the event that the LLC has more than one owner) or a Schedual C on their personal taxes (in the event that there is only one owner), and sole propriatorships use the Schedual C - all of these types of businesses pay regular income tax on all of their business income just as if it had been from employment.
Obama's tax proposal will effect small business exactly the same way it effects people who work for others. I am personally all for extending the Bush era tax cut to the 97% of people who recieve income from small businesses and to 98% of all families, which is exactly what the Obama tax proposal will do. Raising taxes on the consumer class would devistate our economy - which is apparently what the Republicans want to do since many of them are saying that they will not vote to extend the tax cuts on the lower income tax brackets. It really turns me away from the Republican party that I have voted for in the past when their "oppose Obama at any cost" attitude create an enviroment where they choose to harm our economy.
There's a very interesting loophole in the Subchapter S corporate tax structure. One can take a "fair salary" (who decides that?) and then take the rest of the Sub S's income as dividends -- which are not taxed at the corporate level and are (I believe) taxed at the individual level as ordinary income. This results in many small business owners skirting the Social Security taxes on anything above, say $50,000 (if they use that number as "fair"). Many small business owners take advantage of this.
