Default Barack Obama Supports Small Business

Just one more... Obama's plan to help small business

Quote:
* Provide Tax Relief for Small Businesses and Start Up Companies: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will eliminate all capital gains taxes on start-up and small businesses to encourage innovation and job creation. Obama and Biden will also support small business owners by providing a $500 “Making Work Pay” tax credit to almost every worker in America. Self-employed small business owners pay both the employee and the employer side of the payroll tax, and this measure will reduce the burdens of this double taxation.
* Create a National Network of Public-Private Business Incubators: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will support entrepreneurship and spur job growth by creating a national network of public-private business incubators. Business incubators facilitate the critical work of entrepreneurs in creating start-up companies. Obama and Biden will invest $250 million per year to increase the number and size of incubators in disadvantaged communities throughout the country. Welcome to Obama for America
A Democrat cutting capitol gains tax? Unheard of.

Talking with my employer, if Sen. Obama is elected, a lot of businesses of the size we are will go down. Right now, we're just about breaking even and Sen Obama's tax plan will increase our taxes substantially. Unless the economy dramatically turns around and home building picks up again, we may very well close our doors. That would mean that no twould this company fold, but so would the community that it's in. This town is completely dependent on the company I work for and as we go, so does the town. If Sen. Obama is elected and his tax plan is put in place, there's a good chance that this community will pretty much dry up and blow away, along with about 2,000 jobs. This scenario will be repeated across the country as business of our size get hit hard by the tax increases that Sen. Obama is proposing.

I hope your employer appreciates how wrong he is when that doesn't happen, unless your business is already in financial troubles...
And of course, all this current economic hardship is not going to be a problem, is it.
It's "Obama" that he's scared of???

Barack is not going to touch businesses with less than $250,000 income, unless it is to decrease taxes.

That would be true for McCain elected president as well.
Unless your employer thinks McCain is going to fart rainbows out of his arse, and Palin's going to track them down to find the pots of gold where they land...

And aren't you the one who was saying earlier that our economic problems aren't that bad, and that it's just people's OPINIONS of the market which are causing problems???

OVER and OVER again it's the same damn thing.

Hey, Micheal J. Fooks, this isn't Back to the Future.

Deal with what is and what might be, not what WAS.

Bush isn't running.

John McCain has different ideas than George W. Bush.

Who (but you?) doesn't know that John McCain proposed REGULATING FANNIE & FREDDIE in 2006?

But then again, this past weekend, I learned from SNL, of all places, that GWB had tried regulating F&F early in his first term!

So, if you you aren't informed by the news, and you aren't informed by the Comedy shows, maybe you should offer to give 'favors' to Shep Smith. Maybe he'll scream out news headlines at the moment of release.

The economic forecast is not that good no matter who gets elected.The BA never saw a spending bill they didn't like and there's bound to be blowback no matter how much McCain tries to distance himself from this administration! It may not be right and it may not be fair but the bottom line is this...McCain will have to answer for Bush. I've seen this kind of thing before,it's the way our system works,people grow impatient with a poor administration and it's spending habits and they will hold the GOP accountable just like they did in 2006.

Deal with it...

No, I'll "deal" with it IF it happens.

And if it does, we'll ALL have to deal with it.

And with every increasingly Socialist/Communist, anti-small business, tax & spend proposal, anti-Patriotic, sneaky and unethical move he makes
you will think of me telling you to "deal with it."

Those who don't learn the lessons from the past are doomed to repeat it.
What 'is' involves a lot of people refusing to acknowledge the problems of the past.
And that goes for both sides of the table.

McCain has openly stated that he regrets nothing. He doesn't comprehend how his deregulation has directly lead towards this crisis.

And then we have people saying that "if Obama is elected", they think they are going to go belly up?
Ignoring the fact that McCain hasn't learned, and he whole-heartedly embraces Bush's mentality???
"The Fundamentals of Our Economy Are Strong"...

NO. They are NOT.

Are you rolling your eyes at your own claim?

Would you mind elaborating on WHERE McCain differs from Bush?

Ah yes.
Once again, the best way to "defend" McCain is to smear Obama...

Since this thread is about "small business", how about we deal with your attack on him there...
HOW is Barack "anti-small business"???
Would you mind explaining that one?

You mean to say you're going to give this administration a free pass and that you do not understand that the American people have traditionally blamed the party in power by refusing to support the heir apparent from said party? If you believe McCain to be the true messiah, we are both in for a good deal of disappointment... IF... he manages to pull a win out of this mess.

Sadly.. all of us will have to deal with it.Your failed brand the GOP..loves company when it comes to dealing with misery..

Deal with that....
