Taxes Are Killing Small Businesses

My husband owns a small business and I can say this is spot on before I even watch the video. We get our bills paid, for which we are grateful. No room for too many extras.

Had a small buisness,the federal taxes, state taxes and requirements were the biggest reason we will never go back in buisness again.They taxed us outrageously and we complied but with the recession we decided it wasn't worth running it anymore!

I would like to know the REAL tax rate. The rate that a Waterman pays would be a good one. Self-employed pays the highest percentage of income right off the bat. Property tax, payroll tax, sales tax for everything purchased. Add in licences, because that is a government charge for a human right. Now what percentage of the gas he buys is tax? Add in tolls, boat licencing, trailer licencing vehicle licencing, cigarette and alcohol taxes if he uses either. Now if his boat needs repair how much of the labor costs are just to cover taxes paid by the boat repair operation?
I think if you really broke it down you would see that things are getting more and more expensive because the taxes just snowball from raw materials until final purchase of an item. I bet you could find people who pay 80% of their income on taxes or costs stemming from taxes.

Democrats want small businesses destroyed because they hold up the new world order agenda of controlling people.Obama tried by keeping banks from lending to small business now it's the 15 dollar an hour push.
