McCain should have picked a different plumber - Page 2

All I can say is the title of this thread is 100% correct.

All's fair in love and politics. McCain should have had him fully vetted prior to using his name a dozen times in the debate.

Small businesses who make over $250,000 only comprise about, I think it was, 2 or 3 % of small businesses.

Remember the movie Wag the Dog? This is McCain's Good Old Shoe.

Gullible closed-minded people abound when it comes to falling for this mindless propaganda. I'd laugh if I didn't feel so damn sorry for them.

There was no accident. Fox made sure they were there, and the Republicans put that guy there to ambush Obama on camera. I'm just happy Obama handled it with class, honesty, and integrity rather than telling the guy to fuck off as he deserved to be told.

Obamas plan is for a marginal tax increase of 3% over $250,000.

That is only $900 more for an income of $280,000.

Shut up with your facts. I SPEET on your facts!

I don't think they even did that with Sarah Palin.

Get used to it. Politicians have to fight dirty in this country.

Oh, hell, everyone has an extra $900 they can just pull out of the budget for the business. Might be smart to go ahead and fire at least one employee. Obama will take care of them.

Also, small businesses are able to claim quite a few tax write-offs, so a minimal tax increase would affect them even less.

Come on Merc.

Its the profits that are taxed, isnt it? The money that is left after employees are paid.

Being out $900 is not going to force any somewhat viable small business to fire anyone. Especially a small business that's making enough profit to be taxed an extra $900.

Yeh - The picked a guy who isn't licensed, who owes back taxes "though officials admitted he might not know about the arrears." and only makes $40,000. Go get your foil hat and put a strap on it. It seems to have fallen off and allowed some harmful sun to bake whats left of your brain.
