How do you define "marginally less"? Open your eyes and look at the graph I posted.

Let me name the obvious few: Christensen and Fornais (Saxo Bank), Jesper Buch (Just Eat), Mads Peter Veiby (M1), Lars Tvede, Toke Kruse (billys), Martin Thorborg (Jubii/Amino/Dinero/Agera). They are all members of Liberal Alliance and all of them frequently advocate lower taxes. Janus Friis (Skype) fled the country to avoid taxes (nuff said). I have met at least 50 entrepreneurs who openly complained about the current level of taxation.

Using the numbers in the graph, if you make 1 billion you would have 580 mio. after taxes in Denmark and 720 mio. in UK. The difference is huge in absolute numbers but relatively it is not. I doubt that entrepreneurs would have any less drive or motivation to succeed because of this difference.

Most of these are liberalists who happens to be entrepreneurs. They also all belong to the commercial/business type of entrepreneurs.
