Message: <blockquote data-quote="p238shooter" data-source="post: 1845015" data-attributes="member: 24583">Having owned two business in the past, I can tell you that when my bottom line take home "pay" changed, my prices went up to make up for some of the difference.  I did not put in 12-14 hours a day 6 and sometimes 7 days a week just so I could help the economy by "putting people to work."  I was greedy so I could retire and make up for some of the time off I could have taken for the past 20 years had I decided to work an 8-5 job or tried to get welfare instead.  I did fairly well, but I paid for it with the hours, stress, and very little family time.  No vacation in 20 years, and working parts of some Holidays.  It was a choice I made.  Many small business owners will close and go home if taxes get over 50% for business.If that happens and business have to raise their prices, customers will quit purchasing what they do not absolutely have to have and business will get tighter, almost where we are now.Any one here want to quit their job working for a wealthy person or one of those big bad business that make money and go to work for a poor person or a company that is financially on the edge of closing?  Add more taxes and more regulations, and more business fall into that category.  The Obama plan is working.  He is having to take a pause until after the election.  I hope he does not have a chance to kick back in with his plans to finish us off.</blockquote>
