but I got the impression from your post, that you've already decided that if Obama wins, you will go into 'semi-retirement'. Since the numbers haven't yet been published afaik, you can't have already done the calculation. Possibly I misunderstood what you said.

Perhaps I wasn't very clear {s}. I am not going to earn more if that means I keep less. I will need to have my accountant fo the calculations if Obama wins and the actual tax increases are made public.
