Im not happy with either party these days. Both pay more lip service to their big money contributors than they do to us common people. And I do mean both parties!
Ever since the "ME" decade(1970's) the coperate motto has become more profits! Anything goes to exporting jobs, paying lower wages, and getting their pocketed politicians to get them tax breaks and relaxed rules (again I stress BOTH parties). Despite one party saying they want to change the system, when they've had the chance they either miss it, or make proposals that are so radical that no one can support them. The other party keeps pushing proposals that were fine in the 50's and 60's, but are now totally out of date with the currant business climate and they are unwilling to go in other directions! Add to this a media which is no longer unbiased (no matter if they lean right or left they are leaning too far!)

QUOTE you’re writing off fuel and other expenses related to maintenance and upkeep, while depreciating the truck itself!
we’re even paying to expand your belt size on flat per diem rate for meals.
Yep, and I even bought another "pothole maker" last week. Since it's my "personal" work truck it's pretty spiffy and I'll be depreciating that one too. I'm also thinking of upgrading my shop machines this year too. I don't do per diem though, have to travel more than 100 miles from home terminal.
I'm sorry but your logic just escapes me, help me out here. You want me to absorb all of my expenses, my equipment purchases and pay taxes? Do you think that the products and services you purchase just magically appear?(of course you do, you' a progressive) At your job or Moparmans or Irish's jobs don't you think that the business owner deducts the cost of their labor?
These are questions again, you'll probably ignore them again.

Just responding to your earlier post SB where you claimed you paid more tax, when all the i's are dotted and the t's crossed I'm paying more tax, there's little doubt!
To quote someone I’m sure you admire SB, Leona Helmsley: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes"

I'm sure it seems like you pay big taxes but as an employee or employee/retiree you're most likely a zero net taxpayer.
Here's one for you, do you deduct your mortgage interest? I'm sure you do unless the Marshfield is paid for. If it is , good for you.
