The president wants to let the Bush tax cuts expire for the wealthiest segment of Americans, those earning more than $250,000 a year. The tax increase on the top earners would not be as large as some of his political opponents insist (some non-partisan sources have calculated it might be an average of only $500 more), and in fact would simply return the tax rates to what they were in the Clinton era.
I haven't seen details on Obama's tax plan. Increasing the maximum tax rate is actually historically a good thing, but only if the bracket is raised so that only the really wealthy pay that maximum rate. Barack Obama has stated numerous times that only the taxes of those making over $250,000 a year will go up. Joe Biden has said $150,000. Either way, the taxes will be paid on whatever your INCOME is, not the gross of your business.
In the United States there probably would be no federal tax. The limit in the US is well above a million dollars. Most states do not tax anything under that amount either. Consult a tax attorney or probate attorney in your state.
A factor would be who you would hire to optimize or plan your taxes
No Federal taxes would be paid but you would pay sales tax.
Tax calculators help people figure out how much they will owe in taxes. This is particularly helpful to those who are self-employed, whose income tax is not automatically deducted from their paychecks. Tax calculators help people to plan.

McCain wants to lower taxes. He will cut government spending. He would have a health care program as a refundable tax credit. Tax consumers on the value of employer-paid health coverage. People would pay income tax, but not Social Security or Medical tax.
Deferred compensation income that is contributed to your retirement plan is subject to the social security and medicare taxes in the year that the amounts are contributed to your retirement plan. When you reach the retirement age and start receiving distributions from the retirement plan the taxable amount of the distributions will be added to all of your other gross income on your 1040 federal income tax return and be subject to the income tax at your marginal tax rates.
No, you cannot claim a tax deduction for health insurance if you are paying for the plan through an employer's "cafeteria plan". The cafeteria plan is taking the money from your paycheck before any taxes are applied, so you are already getting the cost paid with tax-free dollars. You cannot claim it twice.
Presidents often try to implement tax cuts (Obama has cut taxes several times since he has been in office). But tax cuts generally cannot be repealed unless congress goes along with it.
