Well, if someone asks Palin about chasing Terrorists down in Pakistan, she opens her mouth and causes headaches, just for answering her opinion on what is a valid question. Now if someone asks Obama, then all hell breaks loose and the poor guy gets investigated and they find out that he's unlicensed, and he's been cheating at his taxes.
I would hate to be a moderator at one of those events, man I would have my whole background info and all the goodies all up on the internet.
Real questions for real people, no matter how differing they may be, at least they get answered.
Edit:
Here is an honest look at one of the candidates tax plan:
My company which I am CEO has the potential next year to make upwards to almost 300 million in gross earnings, however my top guy that I pay is making bank. He is one of the best engineers in the US, and is breaking my cookie jar, effer...
With his pay, I always use that to measure what I will make, if I make less than he does this year, he will be without job.
Now, with current tax credits, tax cuts, small business loans, and all of the above, my tax percentage is quite low. Thank you Mr. Bush, this is why presidents give tax breaks to big companies, because we can spend, expand and make more jobs.
For this current tax plan, I have gainfully employed about 50 people within the San Antonio area.
Thank God.
Now, if one of the tax credits go through, I'm not going to be happy, now I would be making less than my engineer, my product goes higher, and my services get more expensive. The customer doesn't like it, he says, " you've been at this price for almost a few years". Valid point, but I complain that the new tax credits are killing me and now I have to pay more. They agree and they pay more.
Then the games begin, my new earnings shoot through the roof, the gross earnings are at a record pace, and now I'm in a new tax bracket. Well the tax bracket once again shoots me down below the engineers level after all is said and done. Well, can't win here.
I can either bite the bullet and loose, be resentful as hell at the engineer, and just be stressed all freaking day, or start the red tape.
Red tape wins, I decide I need to make profit I cut 3 workers out, and tell them their services are no longer needed. Down to 22 gainfully employed workers.
The tax is still killing me because my record earnings. Still the red tape wins and I cut two of the higher paid workers.
In what I see now, is that I would need to expand. Paying more for what could be determined as another contract.
Customer is not liking the price, I have to suck it in and lower my price. However I still need workers to expand, what is the answer here?
Answer, expanding on the current limitations of my employees. Stretch them to the limits, turn my job into ___hole heaven, and run it into a sweat shop.
All because a president wanted to raise tax on the higher companies.
