"Plus or minus 3 percent can be an important factor in business." It depends. You haven't shown that it is in most of the cases. Is it possible there might be a few that it is important? Sure. You can't satisfy everyone. "And its not just 3 percent, its almost 40%" Taxes aren't going up by 40% for anyone. The proposal is to take it from 36% to 39% for incomes over $250k. Which for most affected by the tax is going to be far less than even 3% since the first $200k or $250k is still taxed at a lower rate. " which will apply in 2011 and 2012, match the 1994 to 2000 rates" And we all remember how crappy the economy was from 1994 to 2000...
