I guess since so many people agree with Obama about raising taxes for small business owners....so when these businesses will be taxed higher, Obama fans don't mind losing their job.....?

IMO it is only fair to fire them first since they were all in favor of Obama's tax plans, so don't start whining if you loose your job or vote for McCain!

When a small business owner makes 250K after his overhead has been taken out, he should be able to pay a bit more. It is not going to be any more than what was in place when Clinton was in office.

BTW I know a few small business owners and they would LOVE to be able to make 250K a year. IMHO, to make that kind of money, it really isn't a "small" business...it is more like a mid level operation. Small business is the corner store with 5-8 employees or the hobby shop that hires kids after school...

Obama plans to save all the tax breaks for US businesses that actually create and keep jobs in the US.

McCain wants to keep giving tax breaks AND add more breaks to the big companies that have sent all their jobs to China so they can give millions in bonuses and salaries to CEOs while they pay slave wages and give no benefits to the Chinese workers. Oh yeah...and so they poison our children with lead paint tainted toys and kill our pets with poisonous pet food. I'm on Obama's side. Screw those companies that export jobs and give us dangerous products. I'd rather see tax breaks for companies who make and keep jobs right on US soil.

I recall this very same argument when the Congress was considering to raise the minimum wage, actually every time a rise in the minimum wage is considered.

I think it should be raised in smaller increments and that is easier for a business to absorb the additional cost rather than large increases which does hurt the business owner to a degree initially.

Ah, I hate to bring this to your attention, BUT, have you happened to NOTICE the thousands and thousands of workers who have been laid off and fired in this past couple of months? Ah, just in case you don't know, this has happened WHILE the Bush/McCain tax break for the wealthy IS IN PLACE.

If Obama is elected, these Obama robots will be living will carboard boxes for their houses eating worms for dinner and they will still be blaming McCain for everything.
