Stop making sense! Seriously though, I can't help but think that there is a much larger plan in motion. Not sure what it is, but watch the other hand.

I am considering closing my business for the very reason you mentioned and the potential tax increase coming my way. I do find it interesting that there is so much mis-information in the press. For example everyone making over $250K being considered rich. They do not seem to understand the tax implications for those of us that own an S-Corporation. I am incentivized (paying a lower tax rate) to NOT expand my business, hence NOT hire new employees that would be required to perform work associated with an expanded work load. In other words, if I keep my net at $249,999.99 or below, I will avoid a tax increase. Go figure.

The fact is that I own an S-Corporation and WILL NOT hire anyone until I understand the implications that are a result of this administration. With an S-Corporation all revenue minus deductions (Balance of dollars left in the company banking account) is distributed on the shareholders and is included on their personal income tax return --- so I am considered rich (over $250K) even though I intended to use the money to hire another employee to increase future revenue. In 2011 it is not gonna happen. I will not help with stimulating the economy AND will reduce my revenue in 2011 if my incentive is to just pay higher taxes. Sorry.

"I am furious that my opponent has misinterpreted my statements. This is nothing but a right wing, racist smear campaign, so let me be clear - I absolutely did not accept PAC or special interest money while I was an attorney general while serving in Vietnam during the war".

My first thought when I read the article was "better watch the other hand", but considering Kudlow;s acceptance of Barney's deception I knew what the other hand was doing.

MM is making an attempt to make good on his mortgage and avoid foreclosure. Great to see that your life decisions have worked out so much better ............ oh wait............. never mind...... MM can live through a foreclosure, but you can not live through being an unsympathetic idiot.

The worse part about all of this is that life experience tells me that it takes much longer to fix things than it does to wreck them. Kinda like wrecking your vehicle in a matter of seconds, fixing it will takes weeks.

Would also like to say that I am a business owner and this administration is going to make me "take the money and run". Employees be damned. We are consultants to the Petroleum/Chemical industry and specialize in the optimization of their facilities/operations. Services include the reduction of emissions, improved reliability and a safer working environment for employees. It's a shame.

As soon as they announced that they weren't going to take the money I bought 3000 shares at under $3.00/share. Of course I did not have the patients to hold it until it passed $8.00/share a few months later. I sold because I thought that the government would pass legislation requiring new mandates, that Ford could not afford to comply with, in an effort to run them out of business or make than take a future bailout. Obviously GM and Chrysler would be able to afford the mandates because you and I would be paying for them.

This would punish people that worked hard and applied themselves, we all know that is a bad behavior. Guess I should have been more clear, my bad.

I will bet you $.50 that Alan West will be called an Uncle Tom, Trader or Cracker Lover by the black community. Are you in? Please keep in mind that I do not own oil leases, just a small business owner in the Petro/Chemical industry that is being nuked by this administration.

His district parallels the Mexican border and his constituency is over 55% hispanic. He is accountable to the legal and illegal hispanic community. Crackers need not apply (or ask questions).
