Bob Pucella: it wont, especially when they are hurting
Lue Podewils: The site is extremely busy if you cant get through keep trying.
Nicolas Cooley: Your small business, and most small business owners have more write offs than the man in the moon. More than the poor slob working for you, with zero benefits. So try another republican question!!
Shena Etulain: If that is true, it is fabulous..
Erica Bottaro: It's a very bad idea from amateurs.
Paul Maymi: If you do will you go to (http://www.nostimulus.com) and sign the petition there are currently 96,000 signatures and the more they get the more leverage, the person behind the site was just on the news saying that so many people are calling and e-mailing reid and pelosi that their phone lines and e-mail are not able to operate will you sign?
Felipa Nosis: That's because only like 1-5% of americans make that much. What are you even asking?
Pasquale Pollet: The tax increased won't a! ffect any business making less than $250k in profits a year. And taxes are ONLY on profits, not on revenues. Why don't people know this?Edit: Sigh. You're using equivocation. Let's review:You said: 90% of the people who will be affected by Obama's tax plan are small business owners.I said: most small businesses don't make more than $250,000 a year in profits.Do you see why these are not the same thing? If you are trying to argue that a lot of the money is going to come from small business owners, then your point is an important one. If, however, you're going to argue that most small business will be affected by the reversion to the old tax scale, then your point is irrelevant....Show more
Rona Ising: President Bush gave those job creators the majority of the tax cuts and they only mananged to create 407,000 jobs in 8 years.Doesn't sound like cutting taxes is the right prescription for job creation.
Myesha Zerbe: Mr. President says~~because I say so~P
Jayson Brod: This is the only rise in taxes that Obama is sp! eaking of. I don't know too many folks who make over $250,000 per year.
Monty Sieloff: in the event that they go away the US, the place are they going to pass? very almost each developed usa in the international has a much larger tax fee than the US. sure, i think they might burst off to a pair Muslim usa or sub-Saharan Africa or something, yet do you think of they could want to stay there? And sure, some human beings left Britain with the aid of larger taxes, yet Britain continues to be doing in simple terms superb and that's sales have been going up consistent with annum, so that's for sure no longer an argument....Show more
Kenneth Blacker: No and the people around where we live are against it. This will not be the last of of such stimulus, from my understanding they are planning another 1 trillion stimulus later. There is so much pork in this stimulus, it is crazy. I know people need help, but as a governor said today, this money is not creating jobs for ! his so much as it is keeping people employed, and this is exactly what is going to happen. Companies will still not be able to create new jobs, they will use it to keep workers employed and at best it will only create temp jobs, but you have to keep this money out of the pockets of the execs, which is what they will do again. It is a fact that the ones who stimulate the economy are you and me. Giving huge amounts of money to people who already have huge amounts is not going to help us, it will not help us pay our mortgages, it will not help us put food on the table, it will not help us pay our bills. This so called stimulus is nothing but payback to those who helped to get Obama elected.
Melissa Lavallie: Most small business's make more than $250,000. If you have more than 10 employee's you would have too. So they will raise the prices of goods and services to cover the extra cost. Which is a fancy way of saying you and me will pay the tax.
Willetta Munha! ll: It won't but it will help support those who would rather stay at ho! me instead of looking for a job. Besides, it just goes to re-enforce the stance that "don't worry, the government will take care of you" while their policies continue to ruin businesses.
Abel Adger: well the most wealthiest people in the country generally are at the top of the businesses and then relate those taxes through there products to us.
Fritz Hawkey: Most 'small businesses don't make over 250 K a year. They won't have any tax increases. Those that do make over this are not small businesses. If they do classify themselves as this, they need to see a tax attorney who can help them become a Corporation. Then they will recieve the tax breaks that corporations receive.
Enriqueta Steffen: I'm 47 and did vote for Bill Clinton.
Ellis Cellar: A) Obama would let the Bush tax cuts expire. End result, $1200 tax hike on people/couples making $30k to $90k a year.B) It is not possible to only raise taxes by 3% on people making $250k or more a year and pay f! or Obama's listed spending increases. It's a lie.C) You're assuming Obama, a Democrat, is being honest about his tax policy. When was the last time that happened? Democrats always campaign on tax cuts or tax rates remaining the same and they always raise taxes.D) Obama is not just proposing that tax increase. He's also proposing capital gains tax increases.E) The $250k number has changed a couple times. Started at $250k, then hit $150k, then back up to $200k, now it's at $120k.F) Do something new and different. This question is asked three times a day and gets the same answers every time....Show more
Alexander Villas: cant access site from work - already sent e-mails to senate, assemb and Obama - "Dont do Pelosi's Pork"
Coleman Petropoulos: You don't really think the President will even see this question, much less respond; do you?The amount has now dropped from 250k to 206k and falling. :)
Lita Thammorongsa: You know, Obama and his thugs in the congress ! are pulling out the entire makeup case for this prize pig. I hate feeli! ng out of control of my destiny, and these people are doing it to me and you.Thanks for the link. It will be passed along a lot by me and my peeps.
Marquetta Gimm: no
Tereasa Sorensen: Not true CP-I am in favor of socialized medicine. It works for other countries.
Alden Soldano: COLUMBUS, Ohio - The man who served as national manager of former President Clinton's 1992 campaign plans to endorse Sen. Barack Obama, WOW that say alot about the Clinton!What do you think about this?
Ronnie Panas: I think it makes no difference.Wilhelm worked for Mr. Clinton, not Mrs.He's free to change his mind over the course of 16 years.
Cornelius Thornborrow: Yes, it would drive up the cost of goods. Companies are considered individuals as well, and we end up paying for it in higher cost in goods. I'm not concern of that but that it won't stop there. More social programs and taxes for the not so wealthy. They always finago some way to take from the middle! as well
Idell Syed: Poor people don't higher workers.the rich higher workerstaxing from the rich is taxing from the workers because the rich control the workers wages and have the power to fire people to keep the same amount of money they had only this time there are fewer workers and less wages
Vince Delarge: Indicate which part of President Obama's plan taxes small businesses. You can't.
Rosio Pasculli: Well, Ms. Breeze, if Obama's being honest about all of his taxation and spending goals, we'll be another 10 trillion in debt by the end of his first term.I'd like to think the American people are too smart to permit that level of spending and requisite inflation. But nobody ever went broke betting on the stupidity of the American public.I guess the bottom line is that he's lying about something. It's either about the taxing or the spending. I don't say this as a partisan; I will be writing in my own name for Pres this time around. The real question ! is which one YOU think he's lying about....Show more
Ayesha Genov! a: Just because these folks are in the minority does not mean they should be screwed more. The next time you go to the ER you will meet a lot of these wealthy elitist and I am sure you will appreciate they are making good money.
Efren Clankscales: Yes I agree its a pork filled bill that will hurt our great country even the CBO agrees and over 250 economists say the economy will rebound WITHOUT the Bill.
Oren Eskelsen: Beyond bad.
Bryant Chaudhry: Its a HORRIBLE idea. Actually the basic idea is socialist, but a little help in the right places is not a bad thing. Whats wrong with this bill is that its only got about 7% worth of actual stimulus, the rest is paybacks, kickbacks, and other Democrat political favors being repaid. For the non-believers who still have their heads in the sand, just Google Stimulus Bill or go to a neutral news source like the Wall Street Journal and read on their take and see how many billions and millions are going to pork projects! that will stimulate nothing more than the next tax increase.
Karl Jantzen: It won't help at all. Small business is the back bone of our economy and it will be broken under Obama's stimulus. Of which only 1% is going to "help". What is 1% of one trillion anyway? Not enough that's how much. He will be the death of so many small businesses in this country. More and more people are going to need his increase in social services. A start down the path to socialism? Looks like it to me. Let's pray that some republicans get voted into congress in 2010 to help stop the spending....Show more
Nilda Bafia: did.good post.
Lissette Semon: Source?Oops I forgot. RepubliSCUMS don't know the meaning of the word source.
Dorinda Metzer: I am against it. I'll take a look at the site and I'll sign it if there's nothing objectionable about it as a site. I've already sent emails and will be calling.link broken? (I tried 3 times. Link broken.)
Derick Ki! nnard: Adam, 90% of all people (couples in Obama's tax scam) making ove! r 250k are small business owners
Cliff Tyre: Not directly, no. However, the effects will be felt on down the line. The money going for taxes will be taken out of the economy and not used to buy goods, services, pay raises, etc. and they will be passed along to the poor and middle class as higher priced goods.Also, It's $250,00 today, $150,000 tomorrow, by the end of his presidency it will be $60,000.Also, Obama will let the Bush tax cuts expire. While not technically a raise in taxes, it's the loss of lower taxes and it's the same effect. Obama is playing with semantics. He knows your taxes are going up....Show more
