Obama's tax plan aims at rich, but catches small employers too

"Its owner, Sam Caucci, said cutting anyone from his 10-person team isn't an option."

Hmm, weird, these guys dont make any sense.

I thought raising taxes on them meant they were going to HAVE to fire people?? isnt that how it works?? and then if you lower taxes theyll hire more people? and if you keep taxes the same theyll keep the same amount of employees? isnt that always the line??

Perhaps its because you dont hire people to fill roles that dont need to be filled, you hire people when you have more revenue coming in and you need more people to properly realize that revenue. Taxes have absolutely nothing to do with it. Nothing.

Even the damn business owners cant make a convincing argument, all they're doing is wheeling out the typical empty threats of "well i guess im not hiring those guys anymore!" bullshit, you hire them because revenue is revenue. If your revenue would grow at the same rate without hiring them you wouldnt hire them. Its so utterly transparent how they play their game yet so many fools fall for it. Its the childhood tactic of "fine if you dont do this for me im going to go tell on you" or whatnot, then you dont do it, and they dont tattle, you learn to call their bluff or people play you your whole life. Conservatives need to stop getting played so hard.

On top of all that 124nic8 nailed it again, if you raise tax rates it makes no sense to keep your expenses low, screw sitting on this profit im going to reinvest more of my dollars in my company by spending more of it. Thats what any smart business owner does, they dont try to realize as much net proifit as they can, they try to minimize that profit by having more expenses.
