Obama Says He's 'Open To Compromise,' But Solutions Must Be 'Balanced'

Sounds totally unreasonable.

I'd already said this in another thread but I did appreciate the way he said he would ask the wealthiest to pay a little more.  Much better rhetoric than he used on the campaign trail.  I may like POTUS Obama a whole lot better than the Candidate Obama of the last four years.

If someone's small business is giving them an income of more than $250,000 a year, they can afford to pay a higher marginal rate on that excess just like anyone else making more than $250,000 a year. You talk as if business owners pay income tax on revenue, regardless of expenses. Pretending that is the case does make your argument a lot easier, but it just ain't so.

Do I need to go over how most small businesses file again, or would some one else like to take this one. 

Remember, it's Nate so it will be a waste of time.

I also like that he's going to "ask." No need to get the IRS involved aye?   Perhaps he'll send out cards, or just make a few calls to Buffett and Soros?

How you file is irrelevant. You pay tax on net business income, not gross. That is to say: after deductions for business expenses. You know this, I know this, nearly everyone know this, and if they don't they can try out TurboTax with some fake numbers at no charge. Why do you insist on spinning this false narrative?

If you are watching Fox, who is the president? Did they ever declare a winner?

Weren't you paying attention?  Fox declared Sean Hannity President about 9:30.

I honestly see them as not just differing viewpoints.  

That's part of the problem since the right sees your "viewpoints" the same way.

I was part of a "S" Corporation about 20 years ago.  The first year we made a profit, I got enough cash to pay my share of the tax but not enough to pay the accountant I needed to do my taxes since they were no longer simple enough to do myself.  The rest of the "profit" went back into growing the company.

Market just lost it's gain.

The stock of my employer has remained about the same as after its Wednesday adjustment downward.

Still sounds like "my way or the highway" to me.

So the stock market price is all on Obama?


 

Now wait a minute, you were heaping the stock market gains on Obama a while back.

You need to understand the concept of a diode/check valve.  "Stuff" only flows one way.

I do think the President has some influence on the stock market, especially over the long run. Why is that so hard to understand?
Traders said the main reason for Wednesdays drop focused around European economic issues, especially Germany.

Obama's policies have been good for the stock market. Do you want to disagree with that?

Obama's policies have been good for the stock market.

My investment guy tells me NO.

Please explain.
