Biden and Obama might want to check with the small business association to learn what a small business is. Plumbing companies making up to $14 million are small businesses. But according to Biden and Obama there are no plumbing companies making over $250,000 and 98% of all small businesses make under $250,000.

I totally agree with you. I myself was curious to know how someone in that situation (or who was aspiring towards that goal) would be affected by Obama's plan. As for the rest of it, I think Obama DID answer the question quite well. He did so respectfully and patiently. It is also perfectly legitimate to want some clarification about what Obama meant when he said "spread the wealth around".
<<Completely irrelevant, doesn't make what Biden and Obama are doing okay. >>
Please show me what they are doing that is not OK.
That is how this whole race has been run by Obama and his supporters.

Obama can't defend his tax plan so he attacks the person.
Obama has not attacked "the person."
