Why are you posters being so SPECIFIC - All I've got to say is NIIIIIIICE!

I'm sorry but this comment was so ignorant I couldn't let it go. If by "sock it to the rich" you mean charge us (yes I'm part of the over $250 K crowd) a Federal tax rate on the over $250 K income equal to what we paid when President Clinton was in office I'd say you have a warped definition of "sock it to us".

Why in the hell you think you deserve to pay more to this corrupt government will forever make no sense to me. If, however, the federal government wanted to tax the same percentage of income - equally - no matter how much or how little one earns - FAIRNESS might prevail and then we might vote for representatives who will spend our money more responsibly.

my grandfather was a big time moonshiner thats how he had such a large farm. they would make and sell moonshine when crop seasons were poor. I've never tasted it but heard it was better than what most legal operations sold..

Do the IRS enforce tax on illegal activity ???

Of course the IRS taxes income on illegal activities. The IRS taxes INCOME, PERIOD. Ill-gotten gains are still GOTTEN in their minds.

My dad was an IRS agent in the Deep South. He was also an auxilliary deputy sheriff. He would go with the sheriff to raid a moonshiner's still. As they poured out the illegally produced alcohol, he assessed the Federal alcohol taxes - so the moonshiner lost his means of production, he was arrested and jailed, and he wound up owning the Federal government the tax on the alcohol he had produced and taxes on the income he gained from selling the moonshine.

The Federal Government invented Catch-22 before it was even defined.

The home office deduction is dicey. You have to have a completely separate space that is only used for work. I doubt most masseurs have space that qualifies. Kevin Slater

In the bad old days the IRS said my home office used exclusively for work wasn't deductible at all because I had a futon that was convertible to a bed in the space. Under the new definitions, the room is a dedicated space for work while I may occasionally use the space as a guest room, I get to deduct the space for a home office. This according to my CPA who has me furnish photos annually as a part of documenting my tax return. Now I even write off my garage space as a business deduction, at the same percentage as my business mileage is to my total annual miles.

How this applies to an escort seeing clients in his master bedroom, I don't even want to attempt to figure out.

From the IRS Website:

You must show that you use your home as your principal place of business. If you conduct business at a location outside of your home, but also use your home substantially and regularly to conduct business, you may qualify for a home office deduction. For example, if you have in-person meetings with patients, clients, or customers in your home in the normal course of your business, even though you also carry on business at another location, you can deduct your expenses for the part of your home used exclusively and regularly for business. You can deduct expenses for a separate free-standing structure, such as a studio, garage, or barn, if you use it exclusively and regularly for your business. The structure does not have to be your principal place of business or the only place where you meet patients, clients, or customers.

 

Generally, deductions for a home office are based on the percentage of your home devoted to business use. So, if you use a whole room or part of a room for conducting your business, you need to figure out the percentage of your home devoted to your business activities.

yeah you do get a few write offs. massage cream, table, sheets, candles, laundry, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, bottled water, internet, cell phone, I write off my gym clothes and gym shoes as uniforms since that's what i wear when working. advertising. I don't write rent because I live here but would if i rented a separate place. every 3 years I buy a new computer and write that off too

Also, better bring a note from your therapist

stating you're free of delusions of grandeur,

quirks, tics, and passive aggressive behaviors,

and that you're not a complete asshole.

But I love complete assholes. Or is total bottoms?

BG, I've only seen a couple of episodes of this "reality" show. How has Fredrik dragged his porn career into the show? I was under the presumption that Bravo had not acknowledged his former porn career in the show. Sounds like I could be wrong about that based on your response. If so, I stand corrected. Has his work in porn been addressed on the program. Just curious.

Seems to me Ryan outted him as a gay porn star to a client over whom they were competing. It was a desperate attempt by Ryan to land the deal, but I think I remember Fredrik got the client.

... To me, Fredrik comes across as an anal-retentive schmoozer. I wouldn't enjoy that personality in a hiring session for certain.

If I was in need of a real estate agent for a million dollar property, I would hire him. What one might see as arrogant in social setting, I find as confident in a business setting. And being nice on the eyes would be a bonus.

...I watch the show fairly regularly, and I don't fine him arrogant at all.

Only mostly Success Sales are shown. Quite a few of these DEALS are still pending by the time the Hour Show is over!

 

There are many especially in this Market that DO NOT come through! "Only the Strong Survive" Gimme a break!

 

High End NYC RE People do not work from Paycheck to Paycheck!

And I've know several former multi-millionaires who spent it all, wastefully. They just couldn't seem to stop dropping $300K here, $250K there until there was no more dough.

I might be in the Minority But after seeing him in action on the NYC "Reality" Real Estate Program I find him Arrogant and Far from Sexy! This Dude is over the Top!

I enjoyed the first three seasons of the original Million Dollar Listing based on LA realtors. Interestingly enough, two of the three young men came out during the show. One I love, Madison. Josh Flagg, I can do without. And the biggest surprise to me was that Chad Rogers is straight. You can watch episodes on http://www.bravotv.com/million-dollar-listing

I laughed, I cried, I share!

oh, and don't forget the wonders of frottage with its endless possibilities!

Ha! An escort I really enjoyed was a top, so we were frotting away. I flipped him over and got on top and five minutes later he came up for breath and said, "Damn! This feels good!" About five minutes after that, he saw the stars! First time he ever busted a nut first with me.

Can someone please tell me why a 'defense' of this aircraft was posted in the War, Religion and Politica Forum?

I will right after you tell me, 'Why was an OFFENSE of this aircraft posted here'?

Boeing Thinks It Will Soon.

Boeing Co. executives on Wednesday said they were confident that they would deliver between 25 and 40 new 787 and 747-8 aircraft this year, despite persistent delays that have set both programs back by years.

Now that's a pictorial definition of SCAT!

I sure wouldn't mind playing Rump Ranger with Ricardo's furry crevice.

As, like you, a rooter for Boeing, it does give me no end of pleasure to watch the Germans and French inside EADS forever struggling to forebear each other.

ME, THREE!

My bro worked for and now consults with airlines. He says EADS can't build a good plane because they can't decide - wine or beer with lunch!

Never worry, gloats, just don't ride on it if you are worried. OTOH, if WA state goes out of business, perhaps we all should worry?

Remember the old Zenith TV ad? "At Zenith, the quality goes in, before the name goes on - ZENITH!" If only Zenith had the ARFAA watching over them, they'd still be making TV's.

Boeing is experimenting with manufacturing by committee and trying to reinvent the commercial airliner. These things take time...

A priest, a minister and a rabbi were having coffee together when the subject of how to divide the collection each week between themselves and God.

The priest said, "I take the collection to the parking lot, draw a circle around myself then through the collection in the air. Everything that lands inside the circle, I keep. Everything that lands outside, goes to God."

The minister says, "I do the same thing, except, I keep what lands outside the circle, God gets what's inside the circle."

The rabbi says, "Circle, Schmircle. I just through the whole collection up in the air. Whatever God wants He keeps and I take the rest."

A man suffered a sudden serious heart attack, and had immediate lifesaving open heart bypass surgery. He awakened to find himself in the care of nuns at a Catholic hospital. As he was recovering from surgery, a nun asked him questions regarding how he was going to pay for his treatment. She asked if he had health insurance.

He replied, in a weak voice, "No health insurance."

The nun asked if he had money in the bank.

He replied. "No money in the bank."

The nun asked, "Do you have a relative who could help you with the cost?"

He said, "I only have a spinster sister, who is a nun."

The nun became agitated, and said loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God."

The patient replied, "Then send the bill to my Brother-in-law."

I could watch David Bromstad all day long...and not even know what colors he is putting on the walls!

Mostly white I'm sure, and you'd be helping...
