Bush tax cut expiration puts top bracket: 39.5%
New healthcare millionaire's tax: 5.4%
Proposed "war tax": 5.4%
Payroll tax increase proposal: 16%**
Medicare increase proposal: 3.9%
Payroll fine for not providing healthcare: 8%
Top Federal Tax bracket for business owners: 78.2%**
Add to that MN state business income tax: 9.5%
New top MN tax bracket: 87.7%
Oh... and per Jason Lewis this afternoon, there's also a proposal to kill the itemized deduction for the top bracket, which is effectively another ~3.2-3.5% increase.
That should spur the economy. :banghead: :banghead:
** - includes employee portion

So during the charade of jobs creation, Obama says gov't will not raise taxes and wants to do what's best for business...But also stated that healthcare will go through, as will cap-n-tax... And the Bush tax cuts, which affect ALL tax brackets, will be rolled back. So yeah, no tax increases... not one.

So, the liberal talking heads will be totally confused by January's unemployment numbers.
-
Mixing the employer and employee portion of the taxes together before doing the total does make the final number artificially high, that needs to be cleaned up. It's quite bad enough without following East Anglia's lead by building in errors that can be attacked later.
And by 'Quite bad enough' I mean that even with no errors in the calculation, taxpayers will be taking it up the ass, dry and high.

I for one almost never use the words Obama and president in the same sentence, unless it's something like this: Obama makes a lot of people miss President Bush. :-)

The IRS was already outsourcing tax return processing some time last year. I don't expect this year to be any better.
