September 18, 200818 yr Oh no, they'll go from making 50 million to 45 million dollars a year. Who cares that the middle class and poor are suffering now, I mean there's a lot more rich people in the U.S. This is garbage. I own several "small" business'...and i am NOT rich! Very few...and I mean VERY few...people make "45 million". Many of my small business' have several employees that make more than I do off the business...and I'm the owner.
September 18, 200818 yr Where did you copy all that from? I live that stuff every day in my law practice representing businesses out here in the real world. You should try it some time.
September 18, 200818 yr It's also good economics. Could you provide a link connecting socialism to good economics?

September 18, 200818 yr Could you provide a link connecting socialism to good economics? I was wondering that myself.
September 18, 200818 yr Its not bull. A lot of business owners have to put their personal assets at risk in starting or developing their businesses. Impose very high taxes on their revenues (thus decreasing the possible returns on investment) and 1. the willingness to incur those personal risks drops, or 2. they find ways to maintain their profitability by decreasing the wages and benefits they pay to their employees or they outsource jobs overseas to remain competitive with their overseas competitors that don't have to pay the high taxes or they high illegals willing to work very cheaply. None of those outcomes I think is desirable. Good response LN. However I ask a question concerning the bolded. I often hear how high our taxes are. Then I hear from some how high the tax in other countries are because of their socialist ways and even socialized medicine. So which is it? Are our businesses a wreck because they pay much more in tax in the US or are their taxes (overseas competitors) higher because of rampant socialism structures and such? Jobs and profitibility of outsourcing has much more to do with cheap labor than tax burden I would venture to say.

A lot of our toughest overseas competitors are not located in the socialized countries that you are thinking of that have the high tax rates needed to fund the socialistic programs.
September 18, 200818 yr Let me keep a dollar and I will invest it in a business. Let the government take that dollar, and they will waste it. Guaranteed.
September 18, 200818 yr Where did you copy all that from?You don't spend much time in P&R, huh. LN is one of the smartest in this forum, believe me, he doesn't need to copy anything.
September 18, 200818 yr Apparently Biden doesn't believe it's patriotic to give to charities since he has given less than $400 per year to charities in the last ten years but he and his wife have made between $210,000 and $320,000 in those ten years.
September 18, 200818 yr Seems strange to me at least, that he wants taxpayers to pay more to the Government in way of additional taxes, but then only gives a small percentage of his money to charities!

September 18, 200818 yr Wade said in a statement to NRO. “Like most regular churchgoers, they contribute to their church, and they also contribute to their favorite causes with their time as well as their checkbooks, whether it’s [Jill] Biden’s volunteer work with military families or the Biden breast-health initiative, or the way in which the family pitched in driving supplies to the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, or the ways Sen. Biden has supported charities that help women, police, and veterans.” I guess then my time helping out my neighbors cutting down trees, fixing downspouts, nailing on shingles, and in general helping out those that can't help themselves because of wind damage, I can claim as a tax deduction in his new tax plan?
