Spending Cuts...

[billynomates]

So here we have it ... because you don't like me I can't do what Bill Gates does on a much smaller scale. Or What Barbra Bush does or Her husband and children .. How about Dick Cheney ... He made millions while in office and doesn't pay any taxes.

So why me?

Maybe cos they stand up and say 'Yes we legally invade taxes' Do you think Bill Gates knows how to evade taxes? He employs firms like yours to find the loopholes. If your firm wasn't proficient at helping people to avoid tax your income would go down. You want it both ways!

Bullshit ..

All my family does is sit in our summer home at Wing Point and complain about paying to much in taxes and how we can cheat is bullshit. We (my family) seldom if ever discuss the effects a 5% increase would have on us .. We also don't, like you may envision sit at a desk like Scrooge and read code so we can find a way of saving dollars ..

For conflict of interest my family and I have a outside accounting firm do our personal and business taxes even though we have a tax preparation service for our clients. I see my deductions after the taxes are prepared I then sign the form along with the CA.

This will be the last time I mention my wealth ... here it is buster .. I and my family have so much money I really don't feel any ups and downs in the economy or ups and downs in taxes. I pay almost everything with a credit card that my personal book keeper pays off in full each month.

While you Curt are worrying about the unions, I'm at the Wing Point Country Club playing tennis or golf and worrying if my sun screen is is the right SPF..

We have a summer home on BI a home on Mercer Island and two condos in Seattle downtown .. I personally have homes in Hood River OR Moab UT and a condo In Scottsdale AZ ...

We pay taxes we employ people at very good wages we invest and we save ... But most of all I care about people.

But Dodge Taxes fucking NEVER ...

. . . . there is no tax solution to the problem we are in. We have to stop spending money as if it grows on trees.

at the risk of repeating myself

True statement, I agree with him. I just saw on the TV if some thing is not done, the Government will be out of business by 4/18, I think that was the date. Trying to figure if that would be all bad.
