New Poll Yahoo News: Small Businesses Favor Obama by 11 Points. What does this mean?
 
Here's the link to the poll results that I just read:
Poll: Small Businesses Leaning Towards Obama by 11 Points - Yahoo! News

I was a little confused by the debate last night when Palin mentioned small businesses would feel a tax crunch if Obama gets elected.

Does anybody here know the details of Obama's tax plan in relation to small business?

I think Pallin was implying that small businesses that make more than 250,000$ a year profit end up being counted as income, and have a higher tax rate under the Obama plan than under the McCain plan?

basically.. polls mean nothing..

however, Palin was trying to attack Obama in saying that most small businesses would fall into his tax hike, which Biden retorted that 95% of small businesses do not make that much and would hence be safe under his proposed tax plan.

Obama's tax plan calls for a tax break for anyone making under that dollar figure.

It means that most small business owners understand that Palin was full of crap when she said most would feel a tax increase since most don't make $250K+. That was probably the dumbest thing she said since it involves simple math. I questioned her statement when I first heard it because I didn't think most small business owners would make that much.

Since the Palin debate performance, it's been clear: if it comes out of her mouth and it's about Obama, it's probably about 5% factual.

Remember, factcheck.org is your friend. It's non-partisan and usually correct.
