Why stop at $250k. We all know family making $100k or more is only ~15% of the total population. Why not increase taxes on any family making $100k and single making $50k or more to help the 85% of the population that make less than that. We should strive for this equality. I mean, it’s such a big injustice that 15% of the population probably control 99% of the wealth. I say, tax them all and tax them hard.[/quote]

Unlike you, I’m a moderate realist. Unbridled capitalism is as bad as unbridled communism in my opinion. I like Obama because he has a balanced approach. He’s going to raise taxes on the richards, but keep taxes about the same for those making less than $250K. You keep trying to mischaracterize Obama’s plan as communism when all it is really is a slight increase in tax burden on those who can best afford it.

As for small businesses, those under a certain number of employees should be exempted from having to pay health benefits and complying with regulations that larger businesses have to comply with. It’s called ‘balance’ and it’s what makes American society work.
