Very few of us “socialists” are talking about the mechanic shop or restaurant owner, etc.
Yet, the very taxes you are proposing raising would, in many cases, dramatically affect these very people.
I know that, as a consultant, who is incorporated as a one person company, I’m paying more taxes now than ever before–by a wide margin.
Yes, I’m doing better as well…but I’d suggest that some of you who want to raise taxes actually sit down a few times a year and write out a couple of 5 figure checks to the government and see how you feel about it then. That doesn’t even include the payroll taxes I’m paying, that’s just quarterly income taxes.
When you actually have to put pen to paper and write down those large digits on the check you are sending off, it seems a little more real than some arbitrary number you see on your check stub that you never think about.
