Some posts quote tax rates but that is just the tip of the iceburg...to rip off a phrase "Its the deductions stupid". (No personal reference intended"
Another reason there is no jobs is because Obama said that he would increase taxes for people making over $250,000. Nothing like a little encouragement for people to strive to better themselves, huh?
There is an expression that has been making the rounds for a couple of years and it is called "Going Gault". That means business people and professionals like doctors and lawyers, have decided to stop making money once they reach the $250,000 plateau. They are cutting back and spending more time on personal pursuits like hobbys and family relations. Their incentives are on hold until the business climate changes. When the president of the United States sets a tone to penalize the people who make this country work, we are all in trouble.
