About as classic as "it just is."
I had no point regarding your inane question, what was your point?

Companies that make $250,000 in profit are not big businesses. But I guess, if you want to stunt job growth at that level, an increase in their tax rate should do the trick.

Yes, you truly are one of the ones that Obama is (if you could vote) counting on to help him win. The ones who don't understand that the small business owners business is making $250k, but the owners salary itself is a far cry lower.

People like you don't understand that there's expenses, you know, like payroll, insurance, licenses etc...

Your own link shows that Joe is delinquent on back taxes as it is.

Individuals making over $250K, not businesses making over $250K. Also we are talking about taxable income, not many small businesses actually make over $250K unless they have really bad accountants and/or foolishly stay a sole proprietorship instead of incorporating and paying oneself a salary.

Umm, alot of small businesses make over $250,000 in profit. I worked with pretty much nothing but small businesses and had access to their books. My step father is President of a small insurance agency and they have profits well over $250,000. Maybe little Ma&Pop coffee shops aren't making alot of money, but alot of small businesses make over $250,000.

Besides, if these small businesses are able to "hide" away all these profits to exclude them from taxation, then how effective is the Obama/Biden platform going to be in raising said taxes on businesses making over $250,000(250k has been the magic number for both business and individuals for their campaign)? My guess is that they won't, and they'll have to get it from where they always get it after the elections are over. Middle class families.

Except that no one has made that argument.

You must have missed it. Not sure how.
You're attacking the messager because you know you cannot defend against the message.

Please define "a lot of small businesses," preferrably with %'s, and provide a link.

I'm being comletely genuine (as opposed to passive-aggressive) when I say I respect you standing up to this kind of garbage that trashes a private citizen because he dared to ask Obama a question and the answer wasn't favorable to Obama.

Here is a surprise....

According to Ben Smith at Politico, Joe the Plumber is not registered to vote. Is this true, or is this a hit job on Joe the Plumber?
