yawn indeed.
Because in case you didn’t get it, i started a topic not for the fact of establishing anything. this is the internet and everything discussed here is pointless dribble meant to stimulate, inflame, piss off and humor. I started this thread for the entertainemnt value of watching and participating in developing ideas. This is not supposed to be rigid, because ultimately no matter what point you make or prove you can only give yourself a pat on the back.

A dictionary for what? And why is it necessary for you to make a statement referring to my “corporation”. What’s the point. Becarefull you’re betraying your small mentality. But rest assured i don’t make any money and am not wealthy, i barely eek by every month working up to 16 hour days starting at 4:30 am. so realx in case you think i have big ego because i said i have “corporation” and it makes you insecure because you think that i think i am someone superior. Whatever dude.

Hmm, you know it’s funny… but last time I checked, the President cannot make changes to the tax code by edict and they need to go through Congress. That loophole had been in effect for a while and is now going away…
The allowance was increased from 50,000 to 100,000. So the code was not changed, he put into place incentives to stimulate more poeple to open businesses. Small businesses in his opinion are the driving force of the economy.

Try telling the truth.

I have a hummer and my first $100K isn’t tax free?
YOu might be a RINO Greg, like McCain.
You lost me on the RINO part.

I do taxes for a living, and your little tale is either:
a) Rife with ignorance about what you are doing
-or-
b) A lie.
I’m not asking you to prove anything to me other than how leasing a Hummer saved you 100K on your taxes.
If you don’t want to get called out and asked to prove bogus statements, then my advice to you would be to stop making them.

This is not a good comparison since I can drink maybe 2 gallons of water per day and my car drinks at least 4 gallons per day.
Filtered tap water is much cheaper and it is my primary source of hydration.

So your defense to the fact you cannot back up any of your arguments now comes down to this was for entertainment value?
Just… wow. Uber-weak.
Just last night on the news they were talking about 3 of the major oil companies profit for the 2nd quarter. They all had $4-$7 billion in profit!! Not gross, profit!
Now maybe Bush isn’t directly receiving payments from any of these companies, but you can’t say he’s not extremely favorable toward big oil making even bigger profits. He could do a lot to either control prices, require better fuel efficiency, etc. However that would not serve his friends in oil, just the American public he claims to give a shit about.
We don’t need more drilling, we need less price gouging!
Wow, you have a lot of issues dude, all I said was that you needed a dictionary, it would even be a write-off since you have that “corporation”.
The rest of the above all came from you… not me.

There is water in the creek near my house. No gasoline or oil flowing through there.
The oil is shipped halfway around the world and refined in a much more rigorous process than water treatment.
Your own personal demand for drinking water is lower than your demand for gas.
By all logic drinking water prices should be lower.
It is not a bad comparison.
This Hummer write off conversation brings to mind Seinfeld.
Kramer: They’ll just write it off.
Jerry: Write it off what?
Kramer: It’s a write off for them.
Jerry: You don’t even know what a write off is.
Kramer: Do you?
Jerry: No.
Kramer: But they do. And they’re the ones writing it off.

Nice try. No one buys that for a second. You are probably between 17-19 years old. The only thing you “own” is access to your parents’ computer. That or you frequent an “internet cafe.”
Most of us are experts at sniffing out a teenager trying to play with the big boys. You’ve got some work to do.

Gregus, don’t listen to Jerffy, he is one of those teenagers living in his mother’s basement himself…

You need a better car, or a smaller one.

Don’t you have running water at your house? I do and the cost is… free!
Can I get my gas the same way? That’d be great.
you fellas should consider learning about prescott bush on google if you realy want to know how the bush’s made their money. Many of you will be very shocked
