		<description>Sean, I appreciate your comment.

I'm curious. If your company is making $250,000 how many employees do you think you can hire? Do you know how much it costs to employ the average worker?

Do you know what (revenue stream) constitutes a small business in the US?

I think you would be surprised what the SMB looks like in this country. Check out this document.

Table of Small Business Size Standards
http://snipr.com/4ed6q 

Where will our next Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, or Warren Buffet come from? If we start down the road to wealth redistribution now.. where do we end? What will drive innovation and entrepreneurial spirit?

One of the biggest problems with Obama's tax plans is that they are poorly laid out. We have no idea where he is going to run with them because he does not include details.

When did success have its definition changed to "greed"? Also, don't give me this line about "think about others before yourself." If I wanted to spend my life looking out for other people I would have joined the Peace Corp. I chose to have a career and to learn and to become successful. When possible I assist others but I do it on MY terms not the governments terms or anyone elses. This is the American way as it has been since the beginning. Those hoping to live in a society that takes from one and gives to another would most likely be better served by finding a home across the pond.

Again, I thank you for your comment but I think you need to take some time, as a business man, and think about how hard you are going to work to make yourself successful and whether or not you want that success pillaged in order to benefit those who may not have tried as hard as you. Or would you rather make that decision on your own.. who to help and when?</description>

		<description>I think Obama covered himself pretty legitimately when he mentioned, " If everyone under you is doing well off you will always have customers who can pay for your services. "  

As someone who is starting up their own business as well I can appreciate that.  If you have a company making $250k+ then, come on you are pretty well off.  

Think of others before yourself, we can't fall further into a greedy selfish country can we?</description>
