Our political dialogue is so pathetic that the major ‘issue’ McCain is trying gin up in the waning moments of this campaign is what they call the devastating effects of Obama’s tax plan on people and small businesses that make over 0000 without ever being called on the carpet for not stating how much that tax increase is…Suppose Joe does buy out his business, and suppose he works hard, and suppose there are not so many unemployed that business is good. Suppose the business, after expenses, takes in 0000. What would be Joe’s additional tax burden? About 00…or less than 1% of his total income after expenses. In a 0000 business that is almost rounding error. Moreover, if he provides healthcare for his employee(s), Obama will give him a 00 credit. Let us assume that fortune truly smiles on Joe, and his business nets 0000 after expenses. His additional tax burden under the Obama plan? ~000. If he had to hire a couple of more workers to do it, and provided them health care, Obama’s plan would provide 00 in credits. Moreover, if he decided to sell the business (say for 2X revenues against a purchase price of 0000), his total capital gains tax under the Obama plan–ZERO. Under current law that McCain will extend, his capital gains tax would be 2500. Guess that must mean that McCain is a socialist. Hey Joe–want to re-think your allegiance? What about the impact on the economy? In 1993 the Clinton budget raised the top bracket to the same rate as …
For more information, visit www.wellsfargoinjustice.com ALL CHARACTERS AND EVENTS IN THIS VIDEO — EVEN THOSE BASED ON REAL PEOPLE — ARE ENTIRELY FACTUAL. ALL CELEBRITY VOICES ARE IMPERSONATED…..POORLY. THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM CONTAINS COARSE LANGUAGE AND DUE TO ITS CONTENT IT SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED BY ANYONE. Complete text from Wells Fargo’s full-page advertisement in major markets throughout the United States – February 2009 THE VALUE OF TEAM MEMBER RECOGNITION Okay, time out. Something doesn’t feel right. Everyone agrees that in this economic environment, all employers should re-examine how much they spend on recognition events for their employees. Especially publicly-traded companies owned by their shareholders. Especially institutions that received investments from US taxpayers through the US Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program. The problem is many media stories on this subject have been deliberately misleading. These one-sided stories lead you to believe every employee recognition event is a junket, a boondoggle, a waste, or that it’s for highly-paid executives. Nonsense! Because of the misperceptions these stories have created, Wells Fargo has decided to cancel all its major annual recognition events for its team members for the rest of this year. So who gets hurt when this happens? The Wells Fargo team members across America who are most deserving of recognition and our gratitude. Tellers. Personal bankers. Phone bankers. Financial advisors. Mortgage salespeople …
