As a small business owner (imaginary), there perhaps would be plenty of meaningful/useful opportunities that i would want to look into other than REGULAR attandance in CD forums. There's just no correlation there. On the other hand, if was making 30K, working from 9-5.........go figure.
Completely agree

It's interesting to guess how many among the folks making less than $250K have been arguing - hysterically - against their own best interests.

Are you so selfish that you only consider yourself when deciding on an issue?

I think it's great that BO would give me a tax cut, but not at the expense of someone else. Overall, I don't think that is in my best interest, or yours...even if you are one who will get a larger handout.

I think I can best decide how to spend my money and help the poor, I think you can best decide how to spend yours and the same for folks who EARN over $250,000.

I am thinking of Joe the plumber (and the many small business owners like him) who will have to figure out how to pay the additional taxes imposed. Will he have to work more hours or cut hours for one of his employees? How is that good for anyone? Oh, I forgot.....it is good for the folks who vote only for their own interests.....it makes me sick.
