Sound very good, right? Do not be so naïve to believe you will get tax cut even though you are within 95% of people who earn less than 250K. Because nobody will like to pay tax (it is not patriotic at all to pay more tax). Do you know that those small business owners who created most of the jobs here? If you raise their taxes, they may not make enough profits to keep the business running, keep current employees working, and keep new jobs creating. Tax increasing will push more companies to ship jobs overseas because the cost will be much lower (look at Motor industry). So more jobs will be killed. If you do not have jobs, what good will Obama’s tax plan will do to you? On the other hand, do you think those business owners are willing to pay more tax? No!!! Do you know what they can simply do? Simple solution: passing those extra tax costs to the employees they hire, to the products they produce. For example, for those oil companies, they can simple increate gas price to cover the extra tax costs, so eventually each of us, American people, will be punished. Have you thought about this???
