The was a VERY INTERESTING COLUMN from a 49 year writing vetran Charley Reese. I found this article a few days ago on this site  http://theiraqidinar.com/.  Be sure to read the poem at the end…

Charley Reese’s final column for the Orlando Sentinel…
He has been a journalist for 49 years.
He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.

Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.

This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican nor democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It’s a short but good read. Worth the time! Worth remembering!

545 vs. 300,000,000 People
-By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The President does.

You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House now? He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red.

If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it’s because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan …

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it’s because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees…

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

What you do with this article now that you have read it… is up to you.
This might be funny if it weren’t so true.
Be sure to read all the way to the end:

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table,
At which he’s fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for
peanuts anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won’t be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He’s good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he’s laid…

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
‘Taxes drove me
to my doom…’

When he’s gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom, if agreed, stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the heck happened? Can you spell ‘politicians?’

I hope this goes around THE USA at least 545 times!!! YOU can help it get there!!!

GO AHEAD. . . BE AN AMERICAN!!!

MAKE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ANSWER FOR THEIR TAXES AND ACTIONS NOW!!

In this blog post I am going to share with you if generating money online is actual or just a myth? So the question is; can you really make money online? Many people go to the world wide web because they wish to discover much more information about the best way to make money online, because their salaries aren’t enough. They’re working for a job that they do not like just to make ends meet.

So why is it that 90% of these individuals still do not make money online? The average online residence organization owner just makes $10 per week. Why? Because they’re missing something!

Here are the 4 elements that you have to know so you can actually make money online:

1. Appropriate Mindset – if you do not have the correct mindset when starting an online organization, every little thing will just be useless. You have to have the appropriate mindset so you can truly make money online. Believe that you simply can make money online and it’s going to take place.

2. Training – should you want to really make money online, you have to have the abilities and information on the best way to do it.

It’s a process so focus and master 1 advertising and marketing skill at a time just before you train your self for another marketing and advertising technique.

3. Patience and Commitment – beginning an online business is just like starting an offline organization. You can’t make 4-5 or even 6 figures in a couple of days. You have to be patient and be committed to your online enterprise so you will succeed. Treat it like a real organization and not just a hobby and commit to your why. Don’t just stop all together with your, what‚ and how.  BUT be committed to your why!

4. . Take Action – taking action is the key to your success inside your online company so you are able to truly make money online. It might be 10-40 hours per week depends on your availability and schedule. Probably the most important factor is to take action and make it happen. Often keep in mind that achieving success is nothing a lot more than heading within the correct direction and then solving 1 problem after another.

So there you have it. Now that you know that you simply can genuinely make money online and it isn’t just a myth, it is time to put those four elements into action. Have the correct mindset, educate and train yourself on how to marketplace online, be patient and stay committed on your why and most importantly, take action!

Continuation Part 2 – ‘Small Business Jobs Act of 2010′

Health Care Insurance

Another feature of this bill includes the ability to deduct the cost of HEALTH CARE INSURANCE for the Self Employed person and his/her family…as an Ordinary and Necessary BUSINESS EXPENSE…for Tax Year ending 12/31/2010.

So…IF you had $10,000 of Start up Costs and $7,500.00 of Health Insurance Costs…you are likely eligible for a $17,500.00 “expense” on just TWO lines of the Schedule C! If you are in the 35% Tax Bracket this year, this “deduction” would save you over SIX THOUSAND BUCKS IN TAXES!

Remember…EVEN IF you had not a DIME of “income” from your business this year (and only had the $17,500.00 worth of expenses!), you can still use the deduction to offset the TAXABLE PORTION of your income from ALL OTHER SOURCES…INCLUDING W-2 income, Interest Income, Partnership or Dividend Income Net Rental Income, Unemployment Income, and/or taxable Social Security Income! Virtually ANY other taxable income!

Moreover…don’t forget that ALL expenses related to the ON-GOING operating OF the business are deductible as well.

Please talk with your tax person. Don’t miss these very important and valuable Business Deductions.

Now that you have the all the information on the ‘Small Business Jobs Act of 2010‘, you should have a better understanding on how to save yourself some money. If you found this post useful, please ‘Retweet’ it & ‘Share’ it.

Due to the economic U.S. situation, many people are pondering starting a home business?? So let me help you out a bit and explain why a person would, of course, WANT to start a home business. In this article blog post I will explain about the benefits of having a home business as it relates to your taxes via the  New Small Business Jobs Act 2010 That Puts More Capital in the Hands of Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners…

Small Business Jobs Act of 2010

A. September 27, 2010

On this date, President Obama signed a package of enhanced business tax incentives into law, as part of a larger Small Business Jobs Act of 2010. ONE of the things it allows is that START UP COSTS…up to $10,000.00 can be EXPENSED 100% for new businesses that ‘started’ in 2010!

Generally Start Up Costs are expenses one incurs BEFORE actually opening the doors of a new business!

Maybe you hooked up w/a new nutritional products business and encountered a BUNCH of expenses BEFORE you actually STARTED “WORKING” the business…as a “business”! Stuff you did to “get ready to roll”!

Maybe you just signed up this month! And are in the process of preparing to attack the market full bore after the 1^st of the January!

Startup expenses are things associated with setting up your business. Among the items that count as startup expenses:

o        Paying for consultants & other Professional Fees (Someone to Help Set Up Records, coach you on tax issues related to small business, etc)

o        Initial “Sign Up” Fees

o        Buying initial supplies (Including, but not limited to Extra Product {to use as Samples, Displays, Promotional Gifts}, Starter Packs, Ad Packs, Additional MAP-Books, Branded Apparel, and other Marketing Tools)

o        Advertising materials for your new business (Business Cards & Stationery)

o        Paying employees before the business opens (Even the KIDS)

o        Office Expenses (Furniture, Computer/Printer-Fax-Scanner along with supplies for them, Laptop, Internet connection, Decorating/Remodeling the “new” office, New Digital Overhead Projector & Accessories, Subscriptions to “Virtual” online services related to your business, etc)

o        New Cell Phones

o        Signage for the vehicles

o        Seminars and Workshops attended BEFORE you “signed up”, INCLUDING travel to and from them. (Mileage, Air Fares, Taxi Fees, etc.)

You can “plug” the TOTAL of ALL these Costs in as “Initial Startup Costs” on the “Other Deductions” portion of your Schedule C Tax Form!

In Part 2, I will explain about the benefits of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 as it relates to Health Care Insurance.
