Machineguy:
Beautiful,
Your spot on in your approach to problem solving.
If you were forced to make cuts, then that would only be fair.

I absolutely cannot believe CBS published this info after all their biased reporting. I am amazed.
Thank you, CBS.

There were higher taxes under Clinton and Reagan than we currently have. When the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire, we will all see an increase in taxes which will give us all less purchasing power and that will depress the economy.

When Barack gives you back a little of the tax breaks, he will claim he has cut taxes for the middle class. He is a sham and a scammer.

It''s up to the stockholders of the companies to hold the BOD''s feet to the fire when they negotiate contracts with CEO''s. Just imagine what kind of dividends they might have without the multi-millions going to those CEO''s (including Raines at Freddie Mac - who should be indicted).

CEO''s salaries should be a base salaray then bonus tied to performance and earnings only. I really hate when the Dems talk about the wealty Republicans when, in fact, most of the wealthy are Dems.

Dear Fellow Business Owners,



As a Business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama wlll be our next President, and that my taxes and fees, will go up in a BIG way.



To compensate for these increases, I figure, that the Customer, will have to see an increase in my prices to them of about 10%. I will also have to lay off 6 of my employees.



This really bothered me as I believe we are family here and didn''t know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did. I strolled thru the parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on my employees'' cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off since they knowingly approved of these changes in tax law and the resulting consequences affecting our business and their jobs.



I can''t think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know.



I''m sending this letter to all the Business owners that I know.

Wyatt Andrews provides one more set of reasons to be skeptical of the redistributionist "wonderkid" -- you know, the one who talks a great story but has never really run anything or accomplished anything significant... But the kool-aid drinkers continue to follow along, thinking "this is great, look what I get..." It''s just plain stupidity on too many American''s parts, but if Obama wins, there will be a lot of us sitting around saying, "see, we told you so".
