question for the obama supporters

Would like to see your evidence he is raising taxes on businesses. Exxon and all the oil companies have cut jobs over the past ten years. Small to mid-range businesses aren't going to get increases. In fact, many will get relief

What type of tax rate are we talking about? Currently, S corporations face a top tax rate of 35 percent, while sole proprietors and general partners face a tax rate of 37.9 percent (since they’re responsible for paying both income tax and the Medicare component of the payroll tax).

Under Obama’s plan to let the scheduled 2011 tax rate hikes occur, and his plan to raise the self-employment tax on those making more than $250,000, the S corporation rate would rise from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. The sole proprietor and partner rate would rise from 37.9 percent all the way up to a staggering 50.3 percent. Many Democrats in Congress have proposed making all small businesses (including S corporations) pay this 50-plus percent rate. A small business tax rate that high would be the highest marginal rate faced by them in nearly a quarter-century.

The oil companies are cutting jobs because the government won't let them perform their exploration and drilling functions. don't you think many of those jobs would return if they were allowed to extract oil?

One question I have is how the hell is socialized healthcare going to work when the government can barely afford Medicare?
