The following story sent chills down my spine. I guess its because I realize that there is really no Santa Clause and that presents have to be bought and paid for by real people. So who is footing the bill for this Christmas extravaganza? You guessed it; the American taxpayer.Playing the part of the bad Santa: Barack Obama with congress as the evil elves. I think I've seen this movie before.
Its become apparent that the current administration has no qualms about throwing parties and buying presents as along as the money comes from the endless stream provided by working Americans. They spend as if there is no bottom to the well that they are draining with aplomb.

You are. You’re. Not your.
His point, however poor his grammar or spelling, is valid.
Law of unintended consequences: We are FINALLY going full steam ahead with an MLM. The tax deductions are huge. When we fly to Chicago to visit our children and grandchildren, the whole trip is tax deductible since she is one of our downline. And driving trips into neighboring cities and states, and many meals at restaurants.
We can lose money for three years and then make just a little after that...
MLM should be a hugely growing business model as more and more people put two and two together. We’re not Amway but this may be a huge shot in the arm to such businesses.
That’s all right. I type 75 mistakes a minute. :)
What’s an MLM?
Actually, everyone is going to pay for this monstrosity. Taxpayers of course will bear the brunt of it, but make no mistake, the “benefits” will not be free. In some way, those on welfare, the lazy and the irresponsible are also going to have to pay something. Heck, we have already paid....we’ve given up our freedom. Wait until this all starts hitting us in the wallet.
I wonder if Obama has paid her mortgage yet.
Christmas huh?
Well, he will have to wait to see a doctor.
He will have to wait to have surgery.
But he won’t have to wait to see God, because when his life is deemed not worth living, they will facilitate a quick ending.
Three Five Zero Zero
Got Coal in my Stocking
I will have to now pay $175 a month to keep my wife on my company’s plan, where I paid zero before. The reason for this is now she will have a choice of an outside the company mandated plan. My company only pays hers if her business has no health plan.
Multi Level Marketing.
Amway, Nuskin, stuff like that. It really could become a huge growth industry and an excellent way to “starve the beast”. You just have to be careful to be above the law for your deductions.
I am in a few bands and I lost about $4,000 to $6,000 a year the last three years. I track the days I go to rehearsals and gigs, then use google maps to find the mileage, multiply it by 2 (round trip) and the number of days I practiced and presto, it’s like printing tax deductible money, and completely legal. I only made a couple thousand actually performing, which I duly claimed. Heck, I even blew $400 worth of speakers at a gig - completely tax deductible.
It’s all a game. The “rich” know this all too well. But more and more of the middle and upper middle class will begin learning I suspect.
Another benefit is that I take half my year's earnings at the beginning of the next year as a distribution, which, being passive vs. active income, avoids FICA's devastating 15% hit.
The key is finding a good bookkeeper to handle all the paperwork regarding taxes, legal matters, etc. That made it happen for me.
The central comity says you will have insurance or else.
