The people who make over 250 a year are smart enough to know that if they dont want their money to go to the gubmint, they will reinvest their earnings into their own business and hire more people so that THEY will win and not the gubmint. Come on jim, do i have to explain everything to you
I will use myself for an example.. Joe Glass Artist.
lets say I cleared 450 G's after expenses last year..I know this and am sitting on a big chunk of change that I dont want to give to Obama.. What am I going to do?? Well... I would dump that extra $200 grand into marketing, new equipment, new materials for R&D, throw a huge studio party (entertainment expense) and basically cook my books down to only earning 249 thousand. Its perfectly legal and Its in everyone's best interest that I do it... Infact, like it or not, I just stimulated the economy way more than a stupid $300 stimulus check
Joe Glass Artists and Joe Plumber's main problem right now is that the ecomomy is in such a crappy spot now that its going to be really hard to think in those terms for a few years..
