Senate Fiscal Cliff Bill Approved by House

I am a small business owner who is turning away work contracts because I have too much on my plate right now. I have never once considered my tax rates in making that decision.

I mean it's a smokescreen to trick gullible people into thinking that the person making $450,000 has real problems. People with businesses don't become successful by cutting back and spending more time with family. It's a little secret of the 1% I'll pass on to you. If taxes are raised or reimbursement plummets or raw ingredients/labor/costs increase, the 1% find a way to work harder and find new ways to make money to make up for that loss. It is not in the make-up of highly successful people to throw up their hands and say, "Oh well, since I'm being taxed more, I might as well spend more time at home." Not in a million years. It's why you hear about doctors working 120 hour weeks and never seeing their children, business people being workaholics, lawyers sleeping under their desks... Keep telling yourself that story.
