Can you Pay Less Tax by buying a post office box in Ireland ?
Like many American corporations, which the Supremes have
decided are “people,” I want to “move” just my legal address to a country
with lower tax rates so I
can pay less. Recently, Johnson
Controls, WI and Pfizer, NY, said they
had “moved” to Ireland
(not really). Recently, the NYTimes asked an expert how we real
human beings can do the same to save taxes. We can’t do it, according to the
expert. Corporations can give unlimited amounts to buy our elections and they
can lie about their home and pay less tax. Apparently, corporations have more
rights than ordinary Americans do. No surprise there—they can buy more
politicians. We are billed for Pfizer’s
$35 billion taxes! And Pfizer still gets to enjoy our courts, police, army,
lifestyle benefits for FREE.
The Times forgot one way to avoid Pfizer’s
taxes: http://www.amazon.com/The-Tax-Shelter-Young-Americans/dp/1500426520
Wealthy are seeding their next bumper crop of ... not
tobacco but … marijuana
The next big thing for the 1% ers is outlawed in most states
but has a growth potential bigger than alcohol. Your rich friends are looking
for something new and exciting. “I was drawn to the newness
and growth of the cannabis industry,” one said. Banks won’t touch the stuff
but people with money to burn can’t resist “stirring the pot.” They just don’t
tell their well-heeled friends. They call it an “agriculture play.” They look
at the “12% return and 60 percent loan to value.” Most risk only 5% assets
because “it can go up in smoke.”
You don’t need $millions to earn 12%: http://www.amazon.com/Win-Investment-War-Earn-11/dp/1522916369

Aequitas Capital Management appears to be unraveling before
investor’s eyes. Everything looked good in 2015. Aequitas appeared to be a
healthy, growing firm, opening a new division to serve investment advisors. At
its peak, it reported some $1.7 billion in managed assets. It offered
short-term notes through advisors paying 8-12% interest and a more than 2
percent commission to advisors. Then in late 2015, it told investors that
it was unable to refund the notes when they became due. Now it is allegedly
under investigation by the regulators.

Vanguard attacked because the fees are TOO low?
Disgruntled employee is after a government reward for
telling the IRS that Vanguard owes it more money because Vanguard
charges less for its services than all other mutual fund companies. Claim:
Vanguard’s average expense ratio is 0.14 percent, compared with an industry
average of 0.64 percent. That means Vanguard’s fees bring in about $4.5 billion
a year, and if the fees were raised to the industry average they would bring in
about $20.5 billion. Since Vanguard is run at break-even now, that difference
would presumably be profit, and thus subject to corporate income taxes. This
means more tax for IRS. This is like asking your food co op to pay tax on the
profits it does NOT make because it could be like a Kroger store. Some people
have too much time on their hands!
The IRS ‘loss’ is your gain: http://www.amazon.com/Vanguards-Top-Ten-mutual-funds/dp/150073909X
What happens after ObamaCare?
Despite GOP talk, the government did NOT
determine my ObamaCare coverage—an insurance clerk determined
what care I can receive. When going for an operation (my hip replacement),
I called Horizon’s clerk and she read the manual for my ObamaCare contract. My daughter’s
employer actually determines what their coverage is and how much she must pay herself.
All GOP candidates wish to eradicate ObamaCare on Jan 21 2017. When that
happens, how will we obtain care? Most insurance contracts run for a year so
nothing will happen. The enrollment for 2018 is in Oct, so Congress has to pass
a bill to make a new system. Insurance firms and hospitals and most providers
will need another year to design and sell new GOPCare health contracts. So
maybe 2020!
Since NO plan has
been offered by the GOP (ObamaCare
was GOP idea in 1993), we can only assume that Trump’s plan will be used.
He promised "We'll
work something out," when asked by ABCTV. He says he will
have private plans; “great
plans and health savings plans.” He “won’t let people die in the streets.”
This sounds like what we had before so insurance clerks will continue to decide
what treatments and surgery we will receive—IF we can afford coverage. The
poor will go back to hospital ERs for primary and preventive care and we will still
have the most expensive system in the world that only treats those with money. Hospitals
are required to treat thanks to Reagan in
1986.

Defense contractors pay GOP to increase deficit another $18
BILLION
House GOP urging a steep
increase in the Pentagon's budget have
already received $10 million in
campaign contributions. The 34 GOP lawmakers, all members of the House
Armed Services Committee, are pressing for an $18 billion increase in
the 2017 budget year. The Government Accountability Office has identified
several areas of the department as "high risk" when it comes to waste
and fraud, including weapons purchases and financial management. The
committee's chairman, Mac Thornberry of Texas, topped the list of recipients
with $941,700
in contributions made by employees of and political action committees
sponsored by companies that do business with the Defense Department. (AP) We
can’t stop contractors from buying our Reps but …
We can stop paying for this waste: http://www.amazon.com/Tax-Free-Living-2012-strategies-build/dp/1477452702

GOP Religion law allows discrimination in the name of
Freedom
The law protects GOP religionists so if they don’t want to
serve a person they don’t like, they can refuse without legal liability. Discrimination
is legalized. Religion justifies racism, sexism, intolerance. Jefferson
called for a “Wall separating church and state” but now you must have a “GOP
religion” to have the law on your side. This law makes GOP religion superior to civil law. It allows a business to tell
employees what birth control they must use because the owner holds “sincerely held beliefs.” And the owners
have the money to get an order from the Supreme court. We don’t.

Latin American
women plead with westerners to send abortion pills. The overwhelmingly
Catholic countries have criminalized
access to contraception. Women are scared of giving birth to children
with microcephaly, the mysterious condition marked by an undersized
head and brain damage that doctors have linked to the mosquito-born Zika virus.
Pope
OKs contraception but silent on already pregnant. The Pope first answered
by calling abortion an "absolute evil" and a "crime." “That
is what the Mafia does.” Some priests still insist on no contraception to
prevent pregnancy: “just wait for a year or two.” Cruz, Rubio, Bush say their
religious beliefs will guide Presidency: Abortion illegal?
Will this become the US
policy under GOP Religion in 2017?

Can you pay less yourself even when you have insurance to

How to file your taxes for FREE
Despite IRS advice to file early, Congress gave many
financial firms until Feb 15th plus a 30-day extension for some tax
reporting forms. So you must wait or end up having to file an amended return.
One firm, FOLIOfn, told me they don’t send forms anymore. I must find them and
download. You don’t need to send in the forms with FREE efile, but the Payor’s
number and amounts are important. EG: FOLIOfn’s EIN is NOT for 1099s.
Once you have all your forms, pick a FREE efile site at https://www.irs.gov/uac/Free-File:-Do-Your-Federal-Taxes-for-Free.
Most charge for state filing and will work for any income. When you are done,
most let you carry data and credits to next year so you will have less to do. I
had to amend 2013 and FreeTaxUSA let me input and print it for FREE. Most sites
ask you questions you can answer (some with email help) so filing is easy
unless you are hiding money overseas (Romney) or have multiple real estate
(Trump) holdings. My refunds are maximized and I get my money in my account in
2-3 weeks.
