Corporate Taxes

Can someone with the Obama campaign give an anwwer as to whether the corporate tax rate will increase on a family business corporation if the corporation grosses more than $250,000. annually? If there is a different amount which will increase the corporate tax rate, what is that amount?

EXACTLY!

How do the people writing these blogs get away with non-fiction journalism. It is becoming tantamount to lying. I thought the press had some kind of ethical obligation to report the news, and not a spin or blatant mislead. Whoever started this blog sounds more like the paparazzi than a real reporter/journalist. You have no respect from the intelligent public, go peddle your heckles to someone with a lunch box and a distaste for other nationalities along with real ideas & tactics that makes sense. If the truth is naturally good, why do you feel an obligation to muddy it, even with untruths? Shame on you! You should be fired from that paper, and if they agree with your tactics, that paper needs to be fired!

Misrepresentation of the Obama Capital Gains Tax Plan

I received a right-wing scare e-mail this week suggesting that Obama's plan to raise the CG rate to 28% will cause a stock market crash. I traced the origin of the message, and it led me to your blog. Cannot believe that more people have not called you on your error. Obama is on the record in the Business Week article of April 3, 2008 (http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_15/b4079017876246.htm) stating: "...I certainly would not go above what existed under Bill Clinton, which was 28%. It would be significantly lower than that." Do you know something about Obama's plan that even he did not know as of April 3?
