small business taxes
obama wants to let the bush tax cuts for the rich expire. republicans say it will hurt small businesses. the problem here is they are using different definitions of small business tailored for political gain. shocking i know. the dems mean small businesses with small revenue. so they're right. taxing the rich won't affect these small businesses at all. the reps mean small businesses with a small number of employees. like, none. without regard to how revenue. this definition would include movie stars, professional athletes, law firms that charge $1500/hr, and rich people masquerading as small businesses. in other words, people who have power (money) and don't need tax cuts but get them anyway cause the pols need money to get elected (power).
