I don't understand why Obama supporters get so upset when people want to question Obama about ACORN, Ayers, Wright, etc. Obama is explaining it all away anyway, so great, fine, but why do people not have a right to question his character and judgment? It seems to be OK when they criticize McCain's judgment, right?

b/c he's a saint that can do no wrong?

My DH has a small business, There are ways to get around showing a profit

You need a GOOD ACCOUNTANT!!!!!!

One of my best friends is an accountant and she said very rarely do small business show a profit, and if they did, they would not use her accounting firm the next year



Isn't that tax evasion?Chat Icon





BINGO!



It is not tax evasion at all, Sarah Palins husband did not show a large profit, this is what people with small business do.

Here is a copy the article

For the 2007 tax year, Todd Palin's self-employment brought him $66,893 in gross receipts -- $49,893 from fishing and $17,000 from snowmachine racing. But, the returns show, he claimed so many deductions that he reported only $15,513 net profit from the fishing operation and claimed a $9,639 loss from his racing, leaving him with an overall net income of only $5,874.


The self-employment deductions left the Palins, who have four dependent children, with a 15 percent tax rate for 2007 and a rate of less than 10 percent for 2006. Todd Palin also deducted for the business use of their home in Wasilla. A fifth child was born to the couple this year.

Todd Palin offset his $17,000 gross receipts for snowmachine racing by claiming $10,858 in depreciation, $2,425 for car and truck expenses and $1,559 for supplies. An additional $11,405 was claimed for "other," which included fuel, entry fees, equipment parts, repairs and maintenance, cell phone, memberships, "sponsorship apprec" and "gear."



If there are legitamate deductions, then it's not illegal. If you are just claiming you make sigificantly less than you do...well, that's illegal.

Also, that's great that Palin's business falls under that $250k lump, BUT, from what I am gathering from the type of businesses they are, I am gathering he does not have a lot of over-head, expenses, employees, etc.

Just an idea...supplies for just one job in commercial A/C...just one...can cost $5,000+ for just one unit. Some businesses need more money to run.

I was going to bring that up, but decided not to. She may be a role model to SOME woman, but certainly not to me!

I think in some ways, she is. She is a mother of five, in a successful marriage, and governor of a US state. I'd say that isn't too shabby of a resume.
