i believe mr.kidd posted it up...but it's also been posted in a number of different articles....but the AVERAGE tax increase from the $227k-$603k range is an additional $12. not to mention, this increase only affects PERSONAL INCOME...not business income. if the company was being built for the past 30 plus years, then this increase won't be any higher than the level it was at when reagan was in office (28 years ago). not to mention, reagan CUT TAXES (like mccain is proposing), and ended up having to raise them 6 TIMES to keep us from tanking. also if your heard obama was cutting capital gains tax...then he heard wrong...he's increasing it. based on all of that...then your boss doesn't seem to have too much to worry about...

to stay on topic, the tax issue isn't as black & white as some make it seem. what some people fail to realize is this country (like many others), was built on the backs of people who weren't given fair opportunities (due to sex, race, religion, etc.). here's someone who is promising (for ATLEAST the next 4yrs) to assist WORKING INDIVIDUALS, who struggle to afford the necessities in life, by skimming off of the backs of those who can afford them 10 times over. what's good for the goose is good for the gander...right?
