I’m no tax accounting expert, its too damn boring for me so I stuck to the finance and investments side of the industry. But if you did it right I bet you could get everything deducted you try for. You can even start getting into meals, golf, etc. if you save receipts and would be meeting someone you do work for…
Well you are right 20% of the time.
Care to guess which 20%?
I will give you a hint, the other four are capital investments not expenses although they would have a depreciation schedule.
Trucks: write off
Lawn mowers: write off
Weed wackers, blowers, etc: write off
Snow plows: write off
Gas: write off
This isn’t a tax class. For purposes of a car forum, I included depreciating capital assets against your taxes in the same pool as writeoffs on taxes, since they lower tax liability. I mean, I doubt this forum wants to hear about taxes based on EBITDA margin and double declining balance depreciation…
Pharmaceutical drugs could be cheaper if the government would allow foreign competition. The drug companies make more money than anyone in this country, because they are allowed to set their own prices for drugs. How do they do this? Lobbyists donating over $800 billion in federal and state levels. You pay off enough officials in congress and you can sway their votes in favor of the drug companies. Democrats and Republicans do this. The rich run the country. You want to be healthy, be rich or move to France…
And when Obama gets elected president if he’s assassinated I bet you a million dollars it will be a hit from the drug companies.
Yep just like in that one movie with Warren Betty and Haley Barry
We’re already communists with socialized postal service, fire dept and police departments… not to mention primary education.
I for one am glad that the fire department doesnt have to check to see if I have insurance to put a fire out at my house!
anyone who disagrees that obama is a socialist is either blind or stupid. He has said on so many occasions that he believes the constitution is outdated and he would like to redistribute the wealth. Especially before he was in the POTUS election.
Anyone who agrees with him is fundamentally un-american in any historical respect. If the majority of America understands and agrees with him, I will get the he’ll out of USSA. If he tries to implement his socialist bullshit without majority support someone is going to shoot him. Probably a serviceman upholding his/her oath to the constitution.
Ok there is a week left, I guess now is a good time to post this.
You lefties don’t need to respond because we already know you think Obama is the Messiah.

but arnt you glad there isn’t nationalized fire fighting! Can you imagine the federal government trying to put the fire at your house out with the same kind of excellent efficiency shown at government institutions like the Veterans hospitals.
"well we are obligated to put your fire out, but our equipment is outdated, our response time slow and our budget only allows us to spend $2000 fighting your fire. If you would like us to keep fighting your fire, simply apply for an increase and you will recieve a response in 4-6 months.
“you have been approved for a $400 increase, but since your house has already burnt down you are now ineligible for the increase.”
I would rather my town running healthcare than the federal government.
^ you know that is kind of a good point…
don’t worry, the whole governement is going to “change” once barrack is elected
LOL - What is the REAL impact of Obama vs. McCain on you personally, and your business according to their publicized policies? JoesTypeS has laid out exactly how his company would fare, but you have done nothing but use fear mongering tactics to sway undecideds.
I am not a “Leftie” by any means, but you “righties” just sitting around yelling TERRORISTS, SOCIALISM, COMMY, SPREAD THE WEALTH arent doing shit other than turning people off.
As a business owner, and a “wealthy” person to NYSpeed standards - lets hear how an Obama administration would affect you versus a McCain administration. Specifics please.
What about the whole Biden thing where he said something along the lines of there will be a manufactured crisis and to fallow Obama becuase he will do the right thing :bloated:
Jeg did you even read that article? It goes into what Biden was referring to with Obama being “tested” just as other presidents have been right away. Obama will be inheriting a unstable middle east and thus crisis will arise.
When it happens, as it inevitably will, history suggests that it won’t just be the wisdom of the president that determines the outcome, but the judgment of his foreign-policy team and the decisions taken by the opponents on the other side.
This is closing paragraph for the article you linked ( I added it in so I could refer to it since you most likely did not read it), I would put money on it that Biden assumed this in his statement knowing that these events are the reason you have these foreign policy teams to help the decision making process as a group.
i just posted the first article I found on it becuase I had to do some shit for my dad. But yeah I dunno…this has to be the wierdest election like ever.
Flat tax.
^^ actually, biden clearly stated that Obama’s Decisions during this supposedly inevitable event would anger even his closest supporters.
It sounds to me that Biden is setting the stage for some sort of controversial legislation. I smell a draft from his speech and choice of words.
First of all this election isn’t about me personally it is about the country.
After reading your post yesterday I decided to sleep on it before I answered.
After sleeping on it I still don’t know where to begin.
I gave you a list of 27 reasons why this guy is bad for the country and it seems to have been completely ignored.
It’s like Obama has hypnotized you guys.:biglaugh:
Let me ask you this: What would it take for you to not vote for Obama?
Is there anything that would prevent you from electing this guy?
Do you beleive that there is no truth to anything on that list?
If even one of those things is true, that is way more than enough for me to not want this guy running the free world.
An image keeps coming into my head of a toddler trying to put together a simple 50 piecc jig-saw puzzle and I am looking over their shoulder thinking, this is so simple but he just doesn’t have the mentle capacity yet.
But this scenerio is actually a complex puzzle of the world that Obama supporters are struggling with.
Maybe that is the problem, it is too complex for the average voter.
The other problem is that there is way too much emotion involved here.
People hate Bush so much that they just want radical change.
Frankly it is childish and very dangerous to not use logic here and let emotion take over.
Addressing the “wealthy for NYSPEED standards”, maybe all of you have lost any hope of being successful and you have just decided that your McJob has now in reality become your McCareer.
This has been so deeply engrained in your head(especially in WNY) that you are completely ignoring history and the epic failures of social programs around the world.
I could just keep rambling on but, that would be futal, if that list doesn’t at least pique your curiousity about the guy that might be running this country then I certainly can’t say anything that will change your cemented decision.
