Yeah...right...probably why these stocks are plunging on the stock market...oh, wait they are not.

You need to have a better understanding of how the market works Al. Keep watching and if you are basing the lushness of this bill on stocks rising or falling I've got a bridge to sell you.

Payroll taxes are unaffected for any single person making under $200K, and for couples making < $250K ... and even for people making above these figures the increases are so modest...0.9% higher Medicare levy for earnings above 200K and 250K...so let's assume that you make $300K...you'd pay another $1,175 in Medicare taxes...is that really going to break your back? Details are a wonderful thing.

Any single person ? What entity creates jobs ? Small business Al. You need to read the bill without those rose colored glasses.

$1175.00 is not what the bill is going to be for individuals and for you to believe that is very sad indeed. The CBO est was over a Trillion in new taxes and that was on rosy colored assumptions.

Please tell me how much of your check, assuming you are not retired in which case your F'd by this bill, are you willing to give your government ? Right now my employee's and I work till June to pay the piper.

How much Al ?
