McCain ad has a small business person saying something to the effect of this:

"He want to raise our taxes, he says he understands business but he doesn't. He never had to try and keep the lights on (at a business)."


If you're worried about keeping the lights on then you don't have 250k in profits, so your taxes aren't going up.

Income taxes are paid on profit. The "light bill" is a business cost and isn't taxed.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
