instaPoll: Do you support the President raising taxes on 1.2 million small business owners?

This week, President Obama called for a one-year extension of Bush-era tax cuts for households earning less than $250,000 a year, and individuals earning less than $200,000, while allowing taxes to rise for the rest of American families and small business owners.  If no action is taken by January 1, 2013, a 2011 Treasury Department study estimates that 1.2 million Americans, or 28% of the 4.3 million small businesses earning more than $250,000, would be subject to this tax increase. Curtis Dubay from The Heritage Foundation estimates that allowing these tax cuts to expire would equate to a $494 billion one-year tax increase. The Wall Street Journal reports, "Obama Intensifies Tax Fight." Question of the week:  Do you support the President raising taxes on 1.2 million small business owners?
