I retired effective Wednesday morning. I am finishing a very small number of tasks, handing the rest over to others (former employees who I set up as competitors a few years ago), and taking no new jobs. I am also cutting my purchases to a minimum, and putting more time into hunting, gardening, doing my own repairs, and otherwise moving outside the sphere of federal taxation as much as possible. My 2010 and 2011 taxes were less than 10% of my 2006 (pre-Pelosi) taxes, 2012 will be significantly lower, and they will drop to near zero for 2013.
I’ve been thinking of getting people together to start a non profit org. In CA all the non profits push for more taxes on those suckers that work for profit, yet if they had to pay taxes, they would not be able to afford that cadellac health insurance and retirment for themselves and employees. A lot of them are based on being an education org and claim to be non political and non biased, but they are defintely progressive. Why not a non biased education org on reality eonomics?
