The only proposal I've heard of is raising the rate from 36% to 39%, the rate that they paided in the 90's. How is that "oblivion"?
The 250K crowd right now pays 33% in Federal income tax liability.
Here we go ....
WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND----is that there are millions of S-corporations in the country--aka small business aka (mom and pop shops) that this President has continually threatened them with this 39% tax bracket. 39% is the EXACT same tax bracket that large multi-billion dollar corporations pay. John McCain tried to explain this to you -during the campaign season-but you didn't get it.
If you add in state and local taxes--you're talking about taxing the most innovative--hardest working people in this country. 50 cents on every dollar they earn.
3% of all small businesses make over $250K. Even if ALL of them made over $250K, they still would not pay 39%. Why?
Because they only pay that on the money over $250K!!
Why do people talk about tax brackets when they don't what they're talking about?
I am a 30+ year sub-S corporation small business electrical contractor. I know my taxes. There was never any DISCLOSURE by Barack Obama--that he would graduate up to the 250K bracket and eventually end up at 39%. Barack Obama has ALWAYS stated 250K--tax bracket 39%--and that is where he has drawn his line. This is the EXACT same bracket that large multi-billion dollars corporations pay.
And you're full of crap if you believe that only 3% of the millions of small business in this country make 250K. That's what Barry told you--and with his flood the basement economic policy--flopping--it's kind of hard to take him serious on anything he says about this economy.
It's a lot more than that. All you need to do is walk down main street to tell you that. They are your doctor's office--your dentist office--your auto mechanic--your trash collector--and your construction businesse's from A to Z etc. etc. etc. All of them very capable of making that 250K bar.
