From Tyson Chandler's blog:
"It's funny, because when Obama was giving his speech, he said he was gonna give a tax cut to 95 percent of the people. He says, "If you make under $250,000 a year, raise your hand." And everybody there raised their hand, except for this one small section of guys. That was our section. And everybody around us was laughing.
But you know what, it's a bigger cause. And the way I look at it is that I can afford to pay more in taxes. But my parents, my grandparents, my cousins ... with what they make, they can't afford to cut back in their household with what they're trying to survive with. I can afford to make cuts and still survive. They can't take that knock.
I think that's what's going on now and the reason why the middle class is struggling so much. The upper class, we can take that hit. Obviously, nobody wants to take it, but we still can. And we can afford to live nice lives.
I've lived in both situations. And not only that, I'm obviously the only one in my family that can say that I'm a millionaire. I've seen my entire family struggle. So, would I rather see my whole family struggle while I get a break, or have me not get a break while the rest of my family gets one? I'll take my entire family getting a break."

Do you mean to tell me that ungrateful bag didn't even setup his own momma? Why should she still be struggling? WTF????
There you go. A 25 yr old playing a game and making 10 mil a year speaks for all small business owners working 14 hours 7 days a week.
This 95% b.s. line is foolish.
Good lord, people. Small business owners don't make over $250K a year. Show me one who does. By small business, it has to have fewer than 20 employees and not be a franchise.
The only people who are making over 250K a year are high ranking executives in corporations, professional athletes, politicians, Hollywood celebrities, some lawyers and doctors.
Do you make $250,000 a year?
If you do, you really have nothing to complain about, since you have a very good living.
If you don't, what are you ing about?
Principle?
This $250k mark isn't the only tax increase genius.
But, it doesn't affect anyone of you.
So, what principle?
You won't be paying any taxes.
I won't be paying any taxes.
So, what's the point on being outraged?
Let those making $250,000 a year speak for themselves.
It won't affect you?
Oh, there wouldn't be any tax increases with McCain as President?
Do you honestly believe that??
Are you ing kidding me?
I don't make $250,000 a year.
So, how the would it affect me?
Do you seriously believe the crap you are typing??? Small business is defined by the SBA (Small Business Administration) as a company having not more than 500 employees and not being dominant in their industry.
Here is the list of the top 100 small us businesses...they all make in the millions.

Gotta laugh at the people who think "small business" only means their parents taco stand...
Hey TFat, how much money do you make a yr? If you make between $203,000 and $600,000 your taxes will go up $12 under Obama's plan.
Uhh...my mother did, and there are tons of people out there like her. WTF?
And it wasn't a taco stand.
So which one of these companies do you own? Republicans inherit their ideas from their parents, and they have to cling on to stupid crap like this because nothing else about being republican makes any sense.
I'm clinging to a definition of small business???
I think that most Americans would not consider a company with 500 employees, or anything close to that, a "small business." regardless of what the "small business association" says.
Also, the point of Chandler's blog post and Obama's campaign is that if you make millions of dollars, it's not unreasonable to expect to pay more for taxes when we have an enormous national debt and a floundering economy for the rest of the citizens of this country. I call that patriotism.
Bless your heart, you have no idea what the you're talking about.
People I Personally Know Who Own or Have Owned Small Businesses in Which They Made Over $250,000 a Year
Person #1: energy trader. Had a stake in an commodity brokerage firm. Employees: less than 10, as in himself and his partners.
Person #2: an actuary by trade who left his firm and became a freelance commercial real estate appraiser. Does some development on the side. Employs 1 clerk.
Person #3: runs his own tax office. Employees: 6
Person #4: brokers surplus pipe in exotic alloys. By himself.
Small lawyer firms come to mind too...
My lawyer had 3 employees and I'm fairly sure he makes over $250,000/year

Paint me stupid like many of you do, but I'm still trying to figure out how Obama plans to give 95% of the people tax breaks when 40% don't pay taxes...
I believe it's 95% of families. But you've lost faith in me so look it up yourself.
It's implied that you have to pay taxes to get a tax break. So, the 60% of the population that pay taxes form a subgroup of 100% taxpayers. 95% of those will get a break. Got it now?
