ow, our opponents tell us not to worry about their tax increases. They tell you they're not going to tax your family. (Laughter.) No, they're just going to tax "businesses." So, unless you buy something from a business, like groceries or clothes or gasoline -- (laughter) -- or unless you get a paycheck from a business, a big business or a small business, don't worry, it's not going to affect you! (Laughter, cheers, applause.) They say they're not going to take any water out of your side of the bucket, just the other side of the bucket! (Laughter.) That's their idea of tax reform.
This makes sense. This is the way it works. If as a business your costs go up, they will pass along those increases in costs to you...
I know this may not make sense to someone who says that an increase in cap gains tax would make people hold their stock longer. But this is simple market economics.
Unless you want to argue that obama isn't proposing tax increases on Big business like oil...
lets look at the individual tax plans then... I posted a link comparing them a while ago... it is a non biased analysis of pros and cons of both plans.. But who would you trust most with a struggling economy and defecit? I'd go with a democrat.
