Mlk day !!!

[jayjay283]

I wish everyone a joyous and fulfilling MLK day I had a dream too, but I never remember them when I wake up

[lincpimp]

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.

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...

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

Martin Luther King would have wanted the kids in school today and the business' open.

[jayjay283]

lol LOL MLK was all about money and education, and we sit idle today, great point

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.

Not to stoke the fire here!.. but we haven’t seen anything yet (regarding taxes!) A dem pres, a dem congress, we all doomed for higher taxes in the upcoming years... this is going to hurt!..

[starscream]

I agree Linc, they should give us the money from the TARP back so we can stimulate the economy ourselves. "No taxation without representation" Ha, Back in the day folks went ape $h!+ over a penny taxe on Tea, it wouldn't suprise me if we start seeing more Tea parts...

pb4ugo, do you do your own taxes? Well, when the day came that I couldn't use an EZ form, I went with a Pro. Our tax code has something like a million lines in it (or maybe it was words, I cant remeber). Anyway, I get it that the bigger the business, the less tax they pay and Thats simply rediculous. Its no wonder that companies like AIG can afford to send their upper Mgt to luxury spa's and vacation.

As for small business taxes, I guess we need to define what a small business is. Obama's plan places small business under $250k. I'm not going to ask what you guys make a year but if you get taxed more in the comming years, I don't have much sympathy cuz if I was making that kind of money, I'd be damn happy.

The fact of the matter is the richest 1% don't seem to pay any taxes. Ask Warren Buffet, I heard him say something like he pays less tax then a school teacher. The last time I checked, school teachers don't make squat so that tells you something.

I think its time we all get our own "Golden Parachute" and get all our tax money back and let the banks fall where they may. Why should we give banks our money just so they can turn around and charge us interest on the money we just gave them for free. We should be charging them interest NOT the other way around. This is absolutely craziness...
