[quote=JustLurking][quote=SK in CV]Karl Rove is a liar.
[quote=Zeitgeist]
“Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel says he’ll pay for the Obama health proposal by raising taxes on Americans making $280,000 a year ($350,000 for couples). Most of those stuck with higher taxes will be small business owners. [/quote]
Most small business owners don’t earn $280,000 to $350,000 or more. Not even close to most. [/quote]
SK – the quote does not say that most small business owners make more than $280k. It says that most people making more than $280k are small business owners. That is an entirely different thing. I have no idea if it is true, but it is plausible. People who make good money often work for themselves and not someone else.[/quote]
actually it depends upon how you categorize the income.
Most the wealthy earn off of capital gains so, they pay 18% and won’t
be subject to any of these taxes. Seniour corporate managers get their
incentive payments in the form of stock grants so they pay as capital gains
it’s far fewer who earn high incomes through w-2 or 1099.
