Hey Joe, the plumber! So your taxes will be raised by President Obama, bacause you've worked hard and now you're in a position to buy the business. Now you're "rich".
So you put your ad in the yellow pages, you create a web page. Your daughter/son/best friend/wife/will dispatch your team. Your bookkeeper will come once a week. Your tax person will call every 2 months or so. Under Obama's plan, you will pay ( X%) more per year on your profits, because your profits add up to more than $250,000. Or do they? So how often does your phone ring? Is anybody out there, hiring Joe the plumber? Who has $3,000 to put in the copper pipe? Yeah, maybe Obama's tax plan will get you your profits, because maybe your customers will have the money to hire you. Or, if McCain wins, maybe not. Maybe they'll just do it themselves. A little less professional but they'll get by. Geez, maybe you are just a luxury, after all. Hey, Joe! Maybe you wanna live in a 3rd world country and pay low taxes. But you'll have to put up that high fence around your lot. Just a little barbed wire? Hmmm? You'll have to buy that new security system. Estra phone line? Your staff may come and go like a revolving door. Their health care problems and such, you know. Maybe that neighborhood your lot is in will continue to decline? Hmmm? People on the street just getting by, causing trouble with your staff: drug dealers, who knows? But at least you'll have that extra (X%) on your profits to pay for it all.
