    I have a feeling Jose is gonna get some pretty serious scrutiny here that reveal things he don't want revealed.

    Barely after the debate, we learned(1) he doesn't actually make 250K, (2). He may not be registered to vote, (3) he made a semi-inaapropriate remark about Obama tap dancing like Sammy Davis. Btw, read the exchange and there is no dancing by 0bama.

    What's next? Revelations that Joe actually sucks at plumbing?


    This should be interesting.


    A few pundits said mccain should make an ad with Joe. My advice: not until you vet him.

    Not if he uses the money to BUY the truck, and to BUY things for the company.......

    If he makes more than 250k he should pay more, but any savvy owner knows the threshold, and if you are close you spend the money to get under it.

    Maybe you should get a need a new accountant because the things you do to grow a business like advertising, buying new equipment, hiring new people are all tax deductible.

    How did Obama tap dance around the question? Seemed to me he took 5 solid minutes to answer it as well as anyone could have.

    I don't think this is going to end well for Joe.

    He's always sounded like a Republican plant to me... and if this is true...

    They can't be that stupid can they?

    "Hi, I'm related to Keating and one of my relatives served time with him. Do you believe in the American dream?" :D

    If this turns out to be true and the media decides to run with it, it might be the nail in the coffin for McCain.

    Obama would just have to sit back and watch as the media rehashed and reminded everybody about the Keating 5. It would be like a whole bunch of free negative ads for Obama 19 days before the election and they wouldn''t even be able to blame him (although i am pretty sure FOX will somehow find a way to make it Obamas fault)

    Hmm, still inconclusive, but maybe the next time he's interviewed somebody can straight up ask him do you own multiple businesses. Or somebody could call up those businesses and just ask if its the same guy.

    Umm, this is completely, totally, outright false. Small business pay taxes on net pre-tax profits, not gross annual receipts.

    This whole argument about small business taxes is almost irrevelent. Most small business owner's profits either get reinvested in the company, so it allows growth, or is paid in salary either to the owner or his employee so is actually taxed at a higher rate through income taxes to those people. Very few small businesses keep a ton of cash on the books through large profits.

    The only time it would be extremely detrimental to a comany would be if the company is trying to raise cash over time through its profits for a large investment.

    The big problem is that many small business owners as individuals, may make a lot of money some years and get hit with huge taxes, and in other years, they don't make so much money. So if you make $400K for one year, and $100K the next 3 years, and $10k the next year, that one year you paid a ton of extra taxes and couldn't realy carry forward or saved as much as you would have liked to to prepare for the bad economic times.

    why on earth would we want to follow the example of the the kooks on the right?

    They have every right to not like the guy if he wins, just keep that dislike to verbal and we are all good.
