ORIGINAL: rulemylife Fact Check: GOP adrift on small business claim about taxes WASHINGTON – Claims that President Barack Obama's tax plans are an assault on small business skirt the likelihood that most job-producing small businesses wouldn't feel that pinch at all. Obama is proposing to raise taxes on households earning over $250,000 by increasing the rate on the top two tax brackets and limiting deductions, starting in 2011. Republicans and other critics, knowing they will get little mileage from defending the rich, instead are casting the plan as a tax hit on people who run industrious little companies driving job growth. That's not likely, according to one in-depth analysis, which found that more than 95 percent of small business owners would be off the hook. Obama does not propose higher business taxes. Taxes will be going up for everyone. Oh, maybe not defined as "income tax on the wealthy"..but already A significant increase in cigarette taxes has pushed the price of a pack to over six dollars in many areas, and as much as $10 dollars in Manahattan. proposals to significantly increase taxes on gasoline to pay for "alternative" energy when we should be building nuclear plants, drilling for oil and natural gas...and save the country first..so we can save the planet another day. You are better protected these days if you are a polar bear than a citizen who works hard and tries to do the right thing. carbon caps are going to create even more uncertainty on the part of business to build as the rules of the road and government environmental rules and regulations, and taxes, stifle any risk taking. a VAT tax similiar to what is draining Europe...and on and on. Most of the States are already in trouble and mandates for continuing increased welfare payments when the so called "Stimulus" money runs out will result in increased taxes on the local level, as well as elimination of tax relief on the books now. New Jersey Governor Corzine is already talking about recinding tax relief to home owners. Business across the board is under attack and GOVERNMENT is being sold to the public as the only answer to problems mostly created by government. The retirement nest eggs, the "cushion" against adversity money that people have saved have been cut in half in so many portfolio's. And we now have a government that instead of incenting business seems hell bent on destroying business, the very core of capitalism, and continues to advocate populist anti business, anti anyone who has been successful to take those hours of hard work that people have spent building a better life and give the proceds of that work to the losers, the irresponsible, the chaf of society. We are all truly being forced to be our brothers keeper, his benefactor, because he is ENTITLED to everything that we have worked so hard to achieve. Now this radical liberal government is hell bent on destroying a healthcare system that covers eight-five percent of the population with a healthcare czar because fifteen percent, for whatever reasons, don't have insurance. Within a months time, the liberals in Congress and the ideological radical activist occupying the Oval Office have cast the dye for an economic depression, and a test of the viability of the republic not seen since the 1930s. Politicians who forced the banks to make sub prime loans, who changed the restrictions on FannieMae and FreddieMac on the quality of their porftfolio's, politicans who attacked oversight departments when they submitted memoranda that suggested we were headed for danger in real estate, these same politicans are now raping the U.S. treasury funding a liberal agenda, and turning the United States in the largest sub-prime investment the world has ever seen. And we have a President who is measured by his last speech and not his deeds. We have politicans making economic choices based on agenda's. For the first time in our history as a nation, we have put the wrong people in charge. It is no longer theory, it is fact...the cancer of liberalism has metastasized and is no longer contained. All of these "taxes" kill cosumer confidence, and kill a small buinessman when his "customers" stop shopping for anything but the bear essentials. The malls are pretty much empty five days a week these days, and retail is in poor shape with stores going out of business, we are putting tens of billions into auto manufacturers who can't sell what is probably one of the best products they have offered the consumer, and Congress is now designing cars that most people won't buy... Truthfully, will those of you who feel we are on the right path as a nation instead of self destruction explain why you are so optimistic? The Soviet Union spent itself into its demise...what door have we gone through since January 20th..the lady or the tiger... http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/LadyTige.shtml
