Airbnb and Uber show how companies may avoid ALL taxes—we
will pay theirs
“The nature of their business and the structure of the
companies can allow them to essentially keep
all of their profits out of the U.S. Unless the tax systems find a way to
deal with this, the lost revenue may be enormous,” one former Treasury lawyer said.
As one former 1%er said, "We don't pay taxes. Only
the little people pay taxes." If you run a business, you can deduct
almost everything you do. Don has obtained financing for many real estate
projects. Real estate requires a lot of expenses to develop, build, and
maintain. Almost everything Don touches (hair, hair spray, office, home office,
jets, choppers, clothes, entertainment, travel, restaurants, golf, etc) is a
business expense. If your revenues are $ millions and your deductions are $
millions, your taxes are ZERO. ‘Real estate LLCs can generate enormous
losses, even with millions in revenue, because of depreciation, interest
payments, real estate taxes and operating costs.’

What do you want your retirement years to look like?
When you are working and have income, you have a chance to
shape your later year’s lifestyle. You can choose NOT to ‘just survive.’ Social Security runs out in 17 years
so you need to make a plan. This
site, cheatsheet.com helps you see the picture clearly. Whatever you
currently earn, you will earn less then so you need to plan now. It takes 20
years to build a business or create a $200,000 Wealth Reserve that is
tax FREE. That would provide about $1400 per month for 20 years without
inflation adjustments.

Supremes ready to exclude black voters—a racist court?
Because Roberts, Kennedy,
Thomas and Alito were willing to overturn NC court’s voiding of voter
suppression measures to exclude blacks from voting, Scalia is being missed by
GOP leaders today. Scalia would have sealed black voter suppression in NC and
perhaps other states. Supremes would overturn a
unanimous panel of the 4th Circuit on July 29 who agreed with allegations
from the Justice Department and civil rights groups that North Carolina ’s bill selectively chose voter-ID
requirements, reduced the number of early-voting days and changed registration
procedures in ways meant to harm
blacks." The Richmond Court of Appeals found the NC law unconstitutional:
“Upon
receipt of the race data, the General Assembly enacted legislation that
restricted voting and registration in five different ways, all of which
disproportionately affected African Americans.” NC changed vote rule after
the Supremes
decided a Voting Rights Act void.
The Supremes (with
Scalia) would have found
discrimination constitutional like 1903.
Did you forget to collect former employer benefits?
Many retirees have found pensions and 401ks that they failed
to collect when they retired. Years into retirement, while cleaning out old
papers, I came upon a letter from one of my former employers. This Wall Street
firm had collapsed and we employees had become part owners in lieu of pension.
The letter told me a small annuity/pension was purchased from an insurer. I
contacted them and started my benefits. They would never have told me they owed
me money. 60 minutes recently highlighted this
scam by insurance companies—keep life and annuity benefits. In another
situation, I had forgotten I had contributed to a 403b as a temporary worker
with a not-for-profit 35 years ago. They were still able to find my records and
start paying me my benefits. In a third case, I forgot I had left money in an
IRA account with a national fund firm. I transferred the cash to my current IRA
trustee and invested it as Warren
suggested.

Why your advisor hates Obama’s fiduciary rule
A fiduciary is one who “acts
in your best interests.” Why do lobbyists call it “government at its
worst?” You thought your advisor was unbiased all along. Well no, not really.
Advisors are sales people. Their job is to sell what their firms tell them to
sell. Every firm has manufacturer contracts to meet their revenue and profit
goals. They do it by commissions, fees, charges and bribes (“soft money”,
bonus, incentives, etc). This rule only applies to retirement products. Some
vendors are moving from variable annuities to “managed” accounts. Some are
dumping their retail units. Some a suing Obama saying the rule is like forcing a
Chevy salesman to send you to Ford if it’s better for you. Sounds like Miracle on 34th Street
where Macys found out that helping customers get the best is profitable.

GOP reneges on America ’s
promises
Pres Truman brokered an agreement to guarantee miners’
lifetime health and retirement benefits in 1946 but GOP leader McConnell, a
staunch defender of his home state’s coal industry, blocked
the pension measure that some Republicans warn amounts to a bailout. Sen.
Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said McConnell has blocked the bill “because he doesn’t
like the United Mine Workers union,” which endorsed McConnell’s Democratic
opponent, Alison Grimes, in the 2014 election. The pension measure is paid for
in part through a fund used to clean up abandoned mines left to pollute the
community by for-profit coal companies. GOP did not mind supporting government bailout of Wall Street.

Is a “Structured certificates of deposit” right for you?
Mary Bailey, a 79-year-old widow, MA, gave her grandchildren
a gift at her Citizens Bank where a financial
adviser sold her on a “newfangled $100,000 certificate of deposit.” It
would, he said, double
her savings in six years. So she was irate when her first statement
showed the CD’s
value had fallen to $95,712, thanks to upfront
fees. “This was not a CD as I know a CD,” Ms. Bailey says.
It is a "GS Momentum Builder Multi-Asset 5 ER Index-Linked Certificate of
Deposit Due 2021," linked to a Goldman Sachs proprietary index.
("Proprietary index" is a cool way of saying "exotic derivatives.") The
sales documents "run to 266 pages (calculus, backtested, flowcharts, etc)."
"Ms. Bailey says she didn’t read the documents." Come
on ! Bankers are salespeople first.

CA court says OK to cut your pension
A contract pension is a legal promise. That belief, which
has guided officials as they deal with mounting bills to cash-strapped
retirement plans, was shaken in August when a state appellate court said benefit
cuts are permissible if the pensions remain "reasonable" for
workers. The case in Marin
County San
Francisco that’s among the wealthiest in the U.S. ,
centers on the formula for calculating retiree payouts. "Going from an
absolute ’no’ to a ’yes, if it’s reasonable’ is a huge shift in the political
debate as well as the legal debate," former mayor Reed says. "In
order to save their jurisdictions from insolvency, some systems will be
motivated to try to make some changes." Their “reasonable” is less than
yours, I bet. Wealthy people don’t pay for promises.

Don is right: Christianity is under attack by …
spiritualists
The number of Americans who claim no religious
affiliation has nearly doubled since 1990, rising from 8 to 15 percent. To
the surprise of liberals who fear the advent of an evangelical theocracy and to
the dismay of religious conservatives who long to see their faith more fully
expressed in public life, Christians now make up a declining percentage
of the American population. Yet, the rising number of religiously unaffiliated
Americans are people more apt
to call themselves "spiritual" rather than "religious.”
Christianity tied itself to political beliefs and lost “independent”
believers. We want kids to learn evolution not Bible myth, salute stars and
strips not confederate treason, love people not things, love freedom to chose
not other person’s dogma.
After institutional religion’s bickering is over, we can get
