Laura Ingraham's guest on her Friday show was Joe the Plumber. He interrupted Laura, not rudely, but he had to get something out. He told us about the second question he asked Obama. Joe was asking Obama about the amount of tax he'd charge if we all paid the same percentage in tax. Well, Obama answered Joe saying, "Forty percent." Who can afford for the government to take 40% out of your paychecks? I know I can't. Having a wingman who's family is in oil/gas pays their share of taxes. It's almost like taxing someone for being successful. I'm not concerned about the wealthy being taxed ... I'm concerned about me being taxed more! That's crazy to elect someone who wants 40% of your paycheck. We can't afford Obama!!

Obama's not proposing a flat tax.

As long as you don't aspire to be sucessful, you have nothing to worry about... (yeah right).
Obama told Joe that the economy grows from the "bottom up". Think about that. The people at the bottom have nothing. How do they affect the economy? They don't. The economy grows when people with money feel that it is in their interest to invest it, to spend it, to hire people, to take risks with their money. The economy grows from the top down.

Yes, they get taxed and they pass that expense to their customers making it harder for those with little or nothing to buy. That in turns slows down the sales and when sales slow down, costs are cut, like reducing the number of employees who work for the company. Therefore, someone who was working is now unemployed.

Companies don't pay taxes -- they collect them. If a company can't recover all of its costs, including taxes, they will go out of business. So, raising taxes on businesses is the same as raising them on individuals.
Think of it this way. If you own stock in a company, and their taxes go up, that is less money they have to pay dividends to you. That means the stock price will fall. So, that increase in taxes came out of your pocket.
