| Ail said: What I really don't understand is the whole republican logic around the fact that raising taxes for people that makes over 250k a year will slow job growth. I mean it's easy. Who in this country makes over 250k a year ? The list isn't that long. - Lawyers, traders, executives, doctors, salesmen( some not all by far), actors, professional athletes... Most small business owners do not even make that least . And last I checked very few of the people in that list are actually engaged in creating new business, they already have a well-paid job and are pretty happy with it......( executives affect job creation but based on the company finances, not their own pay or tax level). So explain to me how the way those are taxed affect job creation? In a logical way please...
PS : I'm going to come close to that 250k limit this year due to exercising a lot of stock options and I can tell you for sure I am not planning to create any job.... |
in some years (not for a while), my Dad.
he is the owner of a painting business, one that paints mostly new residental homes. he employs around 7-8 painters. and as you can imagine that business is very hard right now, and fragile. with the housing market as it is now, its very hard for him to find work, but he does. he works twice as hard, for less.
but fortunately he is very productive and so are his painters, in fact his paint reps (the people that sell him paint) all thought he was a business twice the size because of all the paint he buys (meaning he gets a lot done).
who will raising taxes affect? people like him, small businesses will be devestated.
and a better question would be: how would raising taxes increase job growth?
at bolded: would you plan on creating any jobs if your taxes were raised?
