Let's say your taxable income will be $500,000 this year (2013). Your tax would be $155,763 for an effective rate of 31.15%.
So your tax increased $4,001, and your effective rate 0.80%.
How many "pink slips" is $4,001 causing at your business?

what if the business also getting hit with Obamacare cost increases? Also capital gains went up 5% on that same bracket so it all adds up.
