Obama’s 2010 budget proposal, released today, would reinstate the top two Clinton-era tax rates of 36 percent and 39.6 percent, up from the 33 percent and 35 percent the richest Americans now pay. That would affect about 2.6 million taxpayers. The budget also would raise taxes on capital gains and dividends to 20 percent for top earners, up from the 15 percent set by former President George W. Bush in 2003. The tax increases, which Obama vowed to impose as a presidential candidate, would take effect in 2011 and be the first on high-income earners since 1993. They also would reverse a course set by Bush of lowering the tax burden on the nation’s wealthiest people.

Are you serious? And during the deepest recession in more than 100 years this clown is going to raise taxes on the very same people who create the jobs and do the hiring? Guess what, I plan to fire at least 350 people in order to cover the added costs of my taxes, so much for creating and saving jobs... they can all go to the unemployment office and file, they won't work for me or my company... the ones who get fired are the ones who have obama bumper stickers on their cars... oh well, such is life in the big city...<g> GZ
