Wow..Alot of haters for Obama. I voted for him, if McCain would have won I would have backed him as President, some of you guys need to do the same. Support Obama. Period.

Which people would "these people" be?

Not just Obama haters. Apparently, anyone who supported Obama is now one of "them". Someone shake me. Am I in Salem? Is it 1692?

I'm hoping that the cap on wages subject to FICA/Medicare is removed.

 

 

There currently is no cap on Medicare.

 

As a self employed business owner who is currently above the FICA cap I'll be the first to let you know I'm not in favor of it. For those of us who are self employed, we pay 12.4% in Fica and 2.9% in Medicare, double what employees pay. I have actually run the numbers utilizing my tax software, and beginning at around $60,000 (for my personal situation) I enter an effective tax rate of 51.2% counting Fed, State, FICA/MC, and local taxes. However, I know that once I hit the FICA cap, that effective rate then falls back to approximately 40% which is MUCH more acceptable in my mind. Without the cap in place, the effective combined tax rate would next go to approx 55.1% as my income increases (using the current federal rate of 31%). I will flatly state that if the FICA cap is raised, I will immediately fire an employee to compensate for this increase because currently I don't mind staffing my office above the minimum necessary to operate. With the increased tax burden, I will operate my business in a much different manner.

 

I am willing to bet my life savings that MANY self-employed business owners will behave in exactly the same manner. Raising the FICA cap is probably one of the dumbest ideas I have actually heard from a standpoint of how it will affect job creation/retention amongst the small business community.

Nope. It's 2008 and with some it's just to late.

So you hope or really believe he will do these things?

Thank you for the reply, btw. I'm curious as to what people really think will be changed.

 

I don't ming the question in this thread, no need to move it as far as I'm concerned.

I will support him if he does something like promoting off-shore drilling. Heck, I'll support him if he moves to the center on his positions.

 

Why do we need off-shore drilling with gas $1.91 a gallon? :scared:

So we're just supposed to forget our differences and all sing Kumbaya around the campfire?

 

If Obama does something that I agree with I will support ity and give him props for it, I won't hold my breath.

Yet, such disdain for those of us...and I'll say it directly...me, when I posted similarly about Bush, especially on the eve of the Iraqi invasion. I'm sorry...can you tell me again why your feelings and thoughts are more valid than mine?

They're not.

 

But I also don't expect anyone to change what they believe either.

 

I will not change my fundamental beliefs even if I was the only person in the country to vote against Obama.
