So few choices and none that I could go along with so I was precluded from voting this time. Sorry, It seems to be your fault.

Not enough options,

But, lets start by given small business/business in general a 5 year plan of what the taxes are going to be like....just tell them....thats all they want....

Whats happening right now is like this:

Majin, I want you to go buy a $100,000 car....and then I'm going to tell you insurance rates are, your APR and your payments AFTER you have lready bought it...

Would you actualy do that?

You pretty much nailed it and already said what I was going to say.

I like it, although I'd replace your #4 with something that would encourage people to be more entrepreneurial. I think in the long run we are better off if we get a small percentage of the unemployed to start their own businesses that hire another 5-50 people each, rather than relying on some the F500 companies to hire 1,000+ each.

I'm not saying I necessarily agree with all aspects of the bill, but get it right.
