For good or ill, this is a dramatic 57 percent increase since 2000 in the number of Americans who pay no personal income taxes.

And Obama wants not only less people to pay taxes, but to give each person $1,000 in addition. Highest spending in history + more spending = depression...

He hides his true agenda under a complex system. He knows exactly what he wants he just doesn't want you (the people) to know it.

There goes you're credibility. Take the two seconds to do the research and educate yourself. Or heck just read the thread.

Good! These CEO's are have been getting away with way too much absurd crap and Obama should have some of the in fear. I realize about the job creation so that could be a concern. However, maybe they will get some of that money back by incentives to keep jobs in the US and not ship them down to Mexico.
I don't think they are living paycheck to paycheck on 20 to 40 million dollars a year for one. So even with the Obama tax plan, they won't exactly be hurting.
Also, Obama will put a stop to stuff like the CEO's of United and Northwest running their companies into bankruptcy and getting "rewards" of 20 to 30 million dollars, that goes to them, not back to the company.

Why don't you find out what the readership demos are for CEO Magazine and get back to us. Then we'll talk about "credibility."
