Now of course I don't know your business, but I'd be willing to wager a hunch that your average employee that works for your company, isn't making over $50k a year, much less $250k. These guys working for you are probably pretty hard workers or at the very least dependable and allow your corporation to function and compete on the world market.
Now these workers of yours, most likely pay a higher tax rate and live on much lower wage than these people you are so worried about. Are you honestly trying to say that people making 250k a year couldn't afford to pay the same tax percentage as your own workers?
The workers that make it possible for your company to produce it's products?

LOL, great comments.
What Minte doesn't understand is that he didn't build his business. His business was built on the work of his employees. If it wasn't for the people working for him he wouldn't be in business.
Minte wants us to tax him and his business less and put the bulk of the tax responsibility on the bulk of the people that barely clear $50k a year. Minte thinks if we tax him less he'll be encouraged to hire another person making $50k a year while he makes another $400k off of this new employee's work, which is pointless - Minte will still have money to blow no matter what.
Minte has it backwards. I don't hire and fire people based on tax breaks, but instead on need. If I need to hire two people to complete a task in six months I hire two people; I don't wait until it's going to be beneficial tax wise before hiring people. At the same time, if we double the amount of taxes Minte is paying and lower the taxes that his employees making $50k a year pay, chances are he'll still buy that fancy new car he was planning to buy and still take that vacation and all of his employees will be making more money and spending more money - which in turn generates more tax dollars and more money pumped into the economy. Win win.
