They don't deal with reality, they react to a world of caricatures. Apparently, they have dug up a guy whose like everyone, except he owns a plumbing business that does over $250,000 year. Except that he doesn't own the business, and doesn't really have a plan to own one other than working for his buddy. Ok, no problem, but basically he doesn't have to pay more taxes under Obama's plan. <br><br>To sum up, I see a guy here who has no license, no business plan, who thinks that if he can overcome these hurdles a 3% increase in taxes, assuming his business does so well that it nets him $250,000/year, is going to be put off by those extra taxes? Can someone please explain this to me? People don't decide to not start a thriving business because of the high taxes they are going to pay when they become rich.
