We own a small Building Business employing about 20 people. I was telling my husband about the proposed tax and in less one minute he said, "that's just beautiful---if I have to pay another tax, I'll just have to let someone GO or REDUCE their pay". Here's the thing Congress/House/The President doesn't seem to get. You have a LIMITED amount of money that can be spent on salaries and benefits. Once you exceed that limit----you must REDUCE your spending. If the government keeps RAISING the taxes----the only thing left to business owners to REDUCE is SALARIES and/or JOBS. We get that in the REAL WORLD!!!!!! Thank-you–this is the most straight-forward explaination I have read! We own a small Building Business employing about 20 people.
