Can someone explain the benefits of rental income tax savings?

[Douglas B.]

I've heard it said that business income is handled differently than traditional earned employee income. Can someone explain this in an example for me? For example, how is $10k of earned employee income taxed differently than the same amount of rent generated on an investment property? I haven't yet bought my first property but I'd like to understand this better before taking the plunge.
