The LLC is not a panema. Withholding requirements for active employee/owners of LLCs are in question by a number of professionals. He probably realized that it would cost a lot in tax to transition to a LLC and he would had to remit payroll tax on the entire amount of income declared as his profit. Who told you that an LLC is good for tax minimization? An LLC is good for holding an asset separate from your main business. This is to help minimize liability from spreading through the rest of the b

So an olympic sport should be banned? They use semiautomatic handguns for rapid fire in the Olympics. The Walther GSP was designed by a Swedish fellow. It is named after Gothenburg. Semi-automatic shotguns are useful. Semi-automatic reduces recoil and allows for better followup. They are great for ducking hunting or upland game bird hunting. Semi-automatic is not the exclusive domain of the MAC-10 or the Uzi. Those are generally useless for most people accept bodyguards. It is not fair to base your line of thinking on those as being the solely available semi-automatics.

An independent crown corporation is not exactly independent. A set of newspapers owned by a person, whom apparently wants to be a politician, is not good. A politician who is a newspaper column writer is not independent.

Car Engines are tight. This increases efficiency. Yet it takes a while for them to get moving. Ford engines such at the 4.6l need to warm up. I know from experience. These engines use 5W-20. So I think that this also indicates they are tighter than some of the Chevy, which use 10-30.

However, they are VERY VERY similar in real-world economic terms. Financial accounting for such transactions tends to consolidate all activity of the majority-owned subsidiary. Payments to other shareholders are almost considered equivalent to an expense. No other shareholder can effect any CHANGE. Depending on the BOD rules the other shareholders might not even be able to have their own director. 51% means total control.

I hope some of you guys realize that paper AGES. Paper is actually less resistant to alteration in the intermediate term. Really slick guys who thought that the actually paper did not matter found out the hard way. I guess that in Texas companies always liked to make fake invoices. A photocopy of a fake invoice or PDF of a fake invoice is less likely to give it away. It was predominant in fraud out there. I have several DB programs. We have a custom DB program which uses SQL, which has been forced upon us as well. Excel actually has more functionality and the users are not behind the 8 ball. The DB program is totally useless and is actually limited to 25 columns in its special file format. It has 26 columns, but requires the 26th for idiot retention. Who ever programed this debacle, if you are out here. Let me know. The idea that there is no "data mining" is irrelevant. The accountant is the data miner. I know that many programmers do not even understand some of the accounting issues that happen when it is explained to them. I think that perhaps the top 5% of the programmers could make a switch to be accountants of below average quality.

Right? No. America did not discriminate. They also locked up Italians. They could not sequester all of the Germans. There were too many of them. They had NIS follow people. So? I specifically know that certain ethnic groups in my area were investigated. I also happen to realize that the government was probably right to conduct an investigation. Probable cause must have been developed or else how would they select SPECIFIC groups for investigation?

Right, It is a combination of immature people and guns. These immature people do all sorts of things. Many of them ride ATV's and rip up the trails, too. However, they are not hunters. Just because someone has a rifle does not mean that they are a hunter.

AC - I have noticed that a lot of guys on ./ talk about their guns. It is not surprising. The real gun crowd often seem to have a BSEE, ham license, and 5 guns. Seriously! I have never seen the book at a gun show. I have met one person whom read the book because he heard a similar tale as you have retold.
