he's gonna pay more tax.. i'd be more critical as well.
As if he can't afford it, greedy bastard. I rolled my eyes when he said Obama's plan will cut taxes of 95% of the "people" in the country, same as the McCain camp and the McCain supporters on this forum keep lying about, I guess they think that if they repeat it enough people will believe it. Obama promises to cut taxes for 95% of "taxpayers", not the damn total population of the country....spin spin spin.
Steve is a decent chap, but he isn't his old man, who was a real man.
If Warren Buffett can fess up that tax rates are off the mark in favor of the wealthy since Bush's 2001 cuts, then guys like Forbes should shut up and keep counting their millions, they won't miss a few thousand bucks here and there.

Obama:
"Here's what I can tell the American people: 95 percent of you will get a tax cut. And if you make less than $250,000, less than a quarter-million dollars a year, then you will not see one dime's worth of tax increase."
This statement is not entirely true. According to the Tax Policy Center, only 81.3 percent of tax units would receive a tax cut under Pres. Obama. The "95 percent of working families" figure mentioned earlier in the debate is fairly accurate, but it's not 95 percent of the entire population. As for those making less than $250,000 not seeing a "dime's worth of tax increase," technically some households or tax units that benefit little from Obama's individual tax cuts could pay more due to Obama's closing of what he calls corporate tax loopholes, under the assumption that owners of capital would bear such a tax increase.
This is not that significant a tax hike for those making under $250,000, but there are still some tax units or households making under $250,000 that could pay more in taxes under Obama's plan.
