Tags: business taxes free market capitalism President Obama Buffett Rule
For the website US Daily Review, I have written two articles on taxes and the Obama Administration's efforts to raise them.
The first article deals with capital gains taxes and the so-called "Buffett Rule".
The second article deals with taxes on businesses and the impacts on employees.
I hope you enjoy both. Unfortunately, these are points that I don't hear often from people opposing these tax increases. If I were one of the Republican presidential candidates or a member of Congress, every time someone asked me about the tax increases I would ask one question in return: How are you as an employee better off if your employer has to spend more on taxes? Or perhaps even this: Do you think your employer is more or less likely to hire more people or give you a raise if he has to pay more in taxes? Seems obvious to me...
