I went to work... Someone has to pay for all of the BS... Being a minority myself (white, male, and working), I would like to have my own day to be recognized. Something like "small business owners keep the country going by paying outrageous taxes" day.

Maybe all of the people on welfare could go out and sweep the streets that day.

Oh geez, don't get me started on businesses and the taxes, I mean the write offs they get. Businesses get so many writes offs you've got to have a tax guy do your taxes for you. It's a sad state of affaris when the tax system is soooo complicated with loop holes and write offs that you have to pay a "Professional" to do your taxes for you. Not to mention, taxes are unconstitutional but yet we are still forced to pay them.

Hard to write anything off if you have not made the money first... My business is feat or famine (auto body repair) and last year was a hungry year. Still paying dad for it too, so that eats my profit... Only 2 years to go, and them I will be able to get into stamp collecting as well as rc...

Needless to say the economy sucks right now, but the fact is that if you're not making any money through your business then your business wont have anything to pay taxes on either.

[rant]
It's pretty unconscionable that our government leaders are giving taxpayer money away freely to Banks and the richest 1%. So the Banks take on bad debt because of their own neglegence, so why would we give them free money? What's to stop these greedy bozo's from getting in this same problem again. So we give Banks free money so they can turn around and charge us interest on the money we gave them for free. This is just unbelieveable. My confidence in our government has hit an all time low and I thinks it pretty obvious that these banks are in one way or another, in the back pocket of the government officials that make these descions.

It seems blaintantly obvious that it make more sense to give the taxpayers their money back to "Stimulate the economy" such as buy parts and service from Linc's Auto Body Repair...

Ok I'll rant also:

When Katrina decimated New Orleans and Entergy was trying to get the grid back up the Feds said that they would not give money to a commercial enterprise... ha so we just struggled on.

I used to like bush now I'll like 'um bald. You can't take that anyway you want to.

Unfortunately, that's not true. Inventory taxes, equipment taxes, hell even my business license could be considered a tax.

So true, small business takes it where the sun don't shine... If were making money they want it, if we aren't they still want their "fees" and if we tank, oh well, no big loss...

The gov't needs to start realizing that we are sick of their stupid spending. If they want to "stimulate" the economy they can give 100% tax returns and let the various higher ups work for free this coming year... Including Obama. And no special summit meeting or any other crap. No pointless "helping" the rest of the world... Or they could make it all back by hitting china with crippling import tariffs. No way china could do anything, hell we already owe them tons of money and they need us to keep buying so that they can continue their industrial revolution... Best to keep them hungry for as long as possible.

I hope we all realize that we now have too many people on the planet... Time to stop the worthless breeding... Not enough to go round. But the pope will never let that happen... Theres your 21st century hitler, right there. Done more damage to mankind that any other figurehead in history. And if you don't agree I don't care, I'm right on this one.
