Who really cares. Whats important is Obama said he was going to spread the wealth, that is socialism. Obama has a marxist past. Buyer Beware.

Good!!

To hell with these CEO''s making 8 figures and asking for government subsidies, and then file their taxes with SO MANY LOOPHOLES, they hardly pay anything at all!!

McSame last night said that our corporations pay the second HIGHEST corporate tax rates in the world. So why did GE''s taxes come out to approximately 11.5% in 2002, as just ONE example?

"Joe the Plumber shold''''ve kept his mouth shout. Now he may be in trouble......

He owes $1,182 in back taxes (I guess he IS looking to lower the tax rate eh?)

He owes $1,261 to St. Charles Mercy Hospital (How''''s the health care working out for ya Joe?)

Neither he nor his employer hold the proper licenses to do business in Lucas Co. OH (Oops)

Joe had no real plan of "buying" the business. He and the owner have simply tossed the idea around for him to take over at some point. (See late taxes)


Under Obama''''s tax plan, approx. 2% of small businesses will se a tax increase."

Great post by policrypt that I had to rewind.

When Joe buys the business and his boss retires, that leaves ..... Joe. Joe must be a REALLY good plumber to make more than $250,000 per year all by himself.

Maybe because he saves money by not paying taxes or getting a license :)

Imagine what would happen if Republicans used the tricks Obama used to win his first election. Obama challenged every signature and got his opponents thrown off the ballot. Of course, we should hold Republicans to higher standards than those set by the Messiah.

OK Mr Business Person you can work more hours take on more debt and grow your business so the Obama''s tax men can come and take it.

Or you can shelter you business don''t hire any one new and keep it small so you don''t get hit by higher and higher taxes.
