I just want to let everyone know that if they have any tax questions feel free to post them here. I'm more than happy to offer my services as a tax professional. I won't do your return for you but pepper me with all the questions you want to.

Would you recommend TurboTax, or TurboTax Deluxe?

Can you explain to Ricardo why he's required to pay Federal income taxes?

I'm afraid I have no experience with TurboTax, Bridgier. I've used TaxCut and it's ok but I've been spoiled by my company's in-house software.

For what it's worth, I have used Turbo Tax successfully and like it...(my two cents worth)

I've decided not to do a thing about my taxes until I'm appointed to a high government office.

"Can you explain to Ricardo why he's required to pay Federal income taxes?"

Not necessary. I understand. Bob L needs a new soap box (more public infrastructure) on which he can stand.

Can I deduct the Pro bono publico education services I provide here?

Sorry, Richard. There are no deductions for your time even if it is a public service.

Wendy, If I'm making more than $250,000 dollars a year, what should I do to reduce my income so as to avoid the terrible tax burden that's coming my way?

I withdraw my offer. You guys are on your own.

My taxes are pretty simple, so I use http://www.icanefile.org/. It is a free service and I've already got my MT State refund.

Good job, Kelly. To everyone else, please do your tax preparer a favor and don't wait until April 14th to make an appointment!

Actually, I thought people might have questions about the new stimulus package.

WIth regard to the stimulus plan, the tax tables are changing in April so that most people will have less withheld from their check. The result of this is that you will likely end up in a higher bracket next year and have to pay in more. You might think about changing the number of deductions on your W-4 to minimize the impact.

Huh????

My taxes are going up????

What's up with that?????

Richard,

The withholding tables have nothing to do with what tax bracket you end up in. Please don't spread this inaccurate rumour. Your taxable income is not affected by how much tax you pay in during the year. Maybe I'm not sure what you meant. Please elaborate.

WIth regard to the stimulus plan, the tax tables are changing in April so that most people will have less withheld from their check. The result of this is that you will likely end up in a higher bracket next year and have to pay in more. You might think about changing the number of deductions on your W-4 to minimize the impact.

Trying....not.....to......giggle.......



Sorry.


Taxes.......not........your......forte

This is why I turn to Richard for sound economic advice.

This credit is confusing to many so I'll explain it here.

It's called the Making Work Pay Credit and it is a refundable credit of up to $400 for single filers and $800 for married filing joint filers.

It applies to individuals who are employed or self-employed. If you make more than $75k (or $150k if married) the credit starts to phase out. It's totally gone at $95k/$190k.

This credit will be delievered to you early as an increase in your paycheck via a reduction in income tax withholding. This will start in April, I believe. The credit will then be claimed on your 2009 return. However, because it's being paid early to you through your paycheck you won't see any increase in your refund. You'll have already received it. Of course, if you are self-employed you don't have a paycheck but will get the credit through your tax return as a reduction in your tax liability.

Credits do not affect the tax bracket you are in. I repeat, TAX CREDITS DO NOT AFFECT THE TAX BRACKET YOU ARE IN! You cannot affect your taxable income by changing your withholding.

Wendy,
Do I understand correctly?

My husband and I both claim 0 for withholding. If I understand what you are saying, we will get a total credit of $800 and it will show up as $800/12 per month.

In 2010, when we prepare our taxes, will this amount be shown as an amount "owed" in taxes? Like I was given a loan for 2009. My taxes are not reduced, I just was able to use that money in 2009?

We have not received money back for years and have to pay in every year. I hope I will not be paying this money in also???

Partly yes and partly no. You will receive the 800 (assuming you meet the income limits) and it will come out of your paycheck-starting April, I think. But it is not a loan. When you do your 2009 tax return there will be a credit which lowers your tax liability. But since your withholdings will also be lower than in previous years, you won't really see an increase in your refund or a decrease in the amount you owe. At least those things won't be due to this credit. You still are getting a tax benefit, you just get it early.

Does this help?

the tax tables are changing in April so that most people will have less withheld from their check. The result of this is that you will likely end up in a higher bracket next year and have to pay in more.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Wow. Just wow.

Seems like an odd way to send that out. Is anyone really going to do anything differently with an extra $15 in their paycheck? If you sent out $400 in a lump refund like that last one people might go out and buy something. $15 every two weeks doesn't sound very...stimulating.

And, Levi, it's probably socialism too...

Actually, Levi, financial experts says that people are more likely to spend minor amounts of extra money than they are bigger windfalls. Psychologically, a big windfall feels more like something special that needs to be saved. But getting 15 bucks in your paycheck is no big deal and you spend it.

Wendy,

I am suffering from a broken window pane in a window that I have a quote will cost $850.00 to fix. I heard a commercial on the radio this morning that stated that the stimulus plan offers a $1500.00 tax credit that can be used to repair windows. Will you proofcheck this for me, please?

Mike

Mike,

Yes, there is a credit for energy efficient improvements to your home. It's called the Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit. This credit's been around for a few years although it was suspended in 2008 with regards to windows and doors. It's been reinstated and the total credit available is 1500. I haven't been able to find real specific info about any limitations. The previous law limited the window credit to $200 but I'm not sure about the new law. The windows must either be manufacturer-certified to qualify for the credit or you can rely on the EnergyStar certification. The credit is definitely for total window replacement not just pane repair and it applies to your home, not business property.

The Energy Star website does a fairly good a job of explaining the changes to the tax credits for making energy-efficient home improvements:

http://www.energystar.gov...ax_credits

According to them the $200 cap on windows has been removed.

- Dave

Can I deduct the Pro bono public education services I provide here?

---------------------

No.

May I suggest liability insurance in case someone listens to your tax "advice?"

We used the credit for windows last time we replaced five of ours. They were thermal pane and definitely more energy efficient than the old ones. Must have been about 05.

Thanks, David. That site has more info than I have about it.

I think it's only a 20% credit, isn't it? Or is that a state credit?

"Credits do not affect the tax bracket you are in. I repeat, TAX CREDITS DO NOT AFFECT THE TAX BRACKET YOU ARE IN! You cannot affect your taxable income by changing your withholding."

For this year. Next year when you figure your taxes might be a different story.

Ricardo:

Let me say this as nicely as possible.

You don't have any idea what you're talking about.

Rick, it's 30% of the cost up to $1500. But the details are still sketchy. So we'll have to see how the IRS handles it.

Yes, Richard. What the H-E-Doubletoothpicks are you talking about?

Are fees you pay for medical services directly deductible??

Medical expenses are part of the itemized deductions on Schedule A. They have a 7.5% floor which means that you must reduce the expenses by 7.5% of your gross income and whatever is leftover is deductible on Sch. A. If you can't itemize then none of your medicals are deductible. Don't forget that medical premiums are also medical expenses, as well as vision and dental costs. If your employer runs your medical premiums through a cafeteria plan (also known as a section 125 plan) then you can't use them for the deduction because you are already getting a tax break on them.

Ok, let's forget everything I have said to this point in this thread and try again.

1. True or False: The change in the tax-tables to take affect in April reduces the amount withheld from my check making my check bigger.

2. True or False: If the answer to #1 is True, then doesn't it follow that this time next year my W-2 will show a higher income?

3. True or False: If #2 is True, then isn't it more likely that I will have to pay in because my income is higher and I am under-withheld this year?

4. True or False: If I change the number of deductions on my W-4 I can correct the under-withheld condition so I don't have to pay in so much next year?

Ok, let's forget everything I have said to this point in this thread and try again.

1. True or False: The change in the tax-tables to take affect in April reduces the amount withheld from my check making my check bigger. TRUE

2. True or False: If the answer to #1 is True, then doesn't it follow that this time next year my W-2 will show a higher income?
FALSE Wow, Richard. Don't know where to begin here.

3. True or False: If #2 is True, then isn't it more likely that I will have to pay in because my income is higher and I am under-withheld this year? N/A, since #2 is FALSE

4. True or False: If I change the number of deductions on my W-4 I can correct the under-withheld condition so I don't have to pay in so much next year? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA


Sorry.

Hope these answers helped. If you don't believe me, ask Wendy W. She's more patient than me, I think... she may break it down for you.

Or read a book or something. Sheesh.

Oh yeah, you're the same voracious reader who believes that the CRA caused the mortgage meltdown and a 3% increase in a taxpayer's marginal tax rate = "SOCIALISM."

Never mind. Don't read a book on the subject, you wouldn't be able to understand it.

Doesn't your W2 show the same amount of income regardless of your withholdings?

Richard, in case you don't read Bob L.'s posts anymore I'll answer your questions again and, I hope, clarify things.

1. True or False: The change in the tax-tables to take affect in April reduces the amount withheld from my check making my check bigger. TRUE

2. True or False: If the answer to #1 is True, then doesn't it follow that this time next year my W-2 will show a higher income? NO. Box one of your W-2 reports your gross wages before any deductions other than certain pre-tax employee benefits such as 401k contributions or cafeteria plans. You are taxed on your Box 1 amount. If you match your W-2 with your paycheck stubs you will see that your federal withholding has nothing to do with Box 1 wages.

3. True or False: If #2 is True, then isn't it more likely that I will have to pay in because my income is higher and I am under-withheld this year? No, because your taxable income starts with your gross income which is not lowered by your federal tax withholdings.


4. True or False: If I change the number of deductions on my W-4 I can correct the under-withheld condition so I don't have to pay in so much next year? Sure. If you routinely have tax owing and want to correct that you can change your withholdings on your W-4. Conversely, if you get a big refund every year and want to get more in your paycheck your can increase your exemptions on your W-4.

The IRS does not allow taxpayers to manipulate their taxable income by have more federal tax withheld. One more time I will say that your federal tax withheld is not a deduction from your taxable income.

Thank you for the explanation, Wendy.

I can't pay taxes this year.......it will screw up my nomination for cabinet position.

Wendy, Thanks for the explanation. It was really helpful.

Wendy: Ahhhhhhh........just one question please.............where can you or me or ANYONE....any American person.............find that the Income Tax is constitutional? And if not.......like anything else.....that is CONTRARY to the PROVISIONS of the U.S.Constitution..........or UNCONSTITUTIONAL.........it is thereby ILLEGAL? Just relate to me here.........25000% absolute truth that the Income Tax fraud is not a scam and I will be silent.
Thanx.........Ship

Chuck: You seem to be the ONLY ONE here in Miles City.com who has the B I G P I C T U R E in full view. My praise to you,Sir. "Ship"

Wendy: You have mispoken yourself............there ARE legitimate deductions for all kinds of public services........even if *unrequested*...........you best study up here,Lady. "Ship"

Good withdraw. My *being on my own* only saved me well over $500,000 in the last 31 years because.........Income Tax is......ILLEGAL.

* * * *Corporate Income Tax has been coursed through the legal due process of the Senate and House of Representatives.........but.....there exists NOWHERE in the PUBLIC RECORD......i.e., the Congressional Record.........of every minute of every session of both houses.....that ever were........where there EVER was any legal....LAWFUL......coursing of the legislative due process that ever provided for any *personal* or *private* income tax......NOT EVER...........it just did not ever happen !!!!

Friend Richard: You may do well to heed this reminder........*withholding* is 2000% completely illegal.

All law is contract. No employers in the USA have EVER EVER EVER held a contract with the IRS to ever ever ever ever *legally* withhold a penny..........not ever. All employers for 96 years.....have been DUPED into the MISCONCEPTION that the Income Tax was legit...............when in fact............it has always been coverd by.........THE LAW THAT NEVER WAS. Ship

Mike: I do know that I can offer to you this INFO. October 8,2008...former president George Bush signed into law the *extension* for the bill allowing for INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS for....energy efficient home and business expenses......such as......efficient water heaters......energy efficient window replacements.....etcetera. I do not know to what extent you may claim the writeoff or the deduction..............but since the IRS is not a government agency..........why not just take the DEDUCTION at full face value........and if they have a problem with it.........let them WASTE their time and WASTE their precious God given lives sorting it all out, right? Ship

Sir : Yes.........you can......this is still America.........even though the Obamatrons want to crush it into being another failed USSR.

You just have to be..........WILLING...........do whatever you have to do for as long as you have to do it..........like win WWI and WWII....and become the greatest nation on earth.

Bob L : Your *tax advice* as an ordinary citizen is more sound than anything........ANYTHING....ever that can be provided to anyone from the CPA arena..........I know..........this is why I have saved over $500,000 in 31 years. Ship

AA: Thank you for this TRUTH about energy efficient window replacements...........my company......Valley Construction....Miles City.....did over....400....in 2008....in three states....thank you again,Ma'am.........."Ship"

Richard,Richard,Richard......: WOWOWOWOW.....you are offtrack,Friend. THERE IS NO LAW anywhere that demands that any employed man or woman EVER sign any W4s at all EVER....there is NO LAW that EXISTS !!!!!!!

As American CITIZENS.......whether we love or hate Nancy Pelosi or not........makes NO DIFFERENCE..........W4s are........*illegal* documents in a COURT OF LAW !!!!!!!!

To the point that.........the US federal government does not have......one vault.....one garage.....one trashbin.....one file cabinet....where they are ever stored...........for the PUBLIC RECORD..........because they are...........documents..........VOID ON THEIR FACE.........in courts of law.

Richard:

You have much to learn from your friend Mr. Shipley.

Mr. Shipley: While I understand and agree somewhat what you are saying I also believe that we should render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. I appreciate my "freedom" too much to not comply.

Robbie,
Please Cool it. Dare I say, here we go again. Ike

May I make a humble request, Mr. Webmaster?

If Haiku in non-Haiku threads is to be curtailed, could I ask that the excessive use of ellipses be similarly quashed? Pretty please?

I ask what is worse:
Three lines of verse, or Pac-Man
Dots filling the screen?

(Okay, now I'm done with Haiku except for designated-Haiku zones. I appreciate your patience, Larry.)

I thought Gene Larson was "Dot Man" but I think Ship may be.

Wendy: You have mispoken yourself............there ARE legitimate deductions for all kinds of public services........even if *unrequested*...........you best study up here,Lady. "Ship"

I'm not even sure what you're talking about here. Of course there are legitimate deductions allowed. I haven't said that there weren't. I've only said that you can't deduct your withholdings. By the way, if you think there are legitimate deductions, doesn't that assume that the tax structure is valid? There can't be legitimate deductions to determine a tax that's illegitimate. You best take a class on logic and circular reasoning, Sir.


The Sixteenth Amendment states:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

Seems pretty clear to me.

Wendy Wilson: What may *seem* clear to you is what has empowered the NON GOVERNMENT agency - - IRS- - - to act the way it has since December 23,1913.............WHEN in FACT............of the writing and publishing of the Congressional Record.........there NEVER was ratified the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The *non* ratification of the 16th Amendment is.......indelibly stamped into American Law and Jurisprudence as THE LAW THAT NEVER WAS.
If you choose to prove me wrong..........fine...........no big deal.......just please also PROVE WRONG the now 1,000s and 1,000s and 1,000s of Interent websites that openly declare this very same CRIMINAL corruption from the Federal Reserve.........that is also NOT a federal agency nor department of the U.S. Treasury...........but in FACT is.......a "private closely held banking entity"......as per Dun and Bradstreet..........who enlist millions of companies and corporations throughout the entire world.

Bob L.: Thank you,Sir, for your acceptance of what I know in my heart and brain and guts as undefeatable TRUTH of the 35+ years I have read and actively studied this criminal lawlessness from the IRS.........*not* an agency of the U.S. federal government.

Friend Richard: Please believe me as a true friend living in a small western cowtown fully aware of the Big Picture. Your opinion as per the Holy Bible is learned and true.......excepting that in the Holy Bible there are also 630 verses where GOD galvanizes HIS covenant WILL to HIS children providing it is HIS will that we employ or exercise our faculties and capabilites in order to AMASS WEALTH. Six hundred and thirty is alot. Also,specifically, in the Holy Bible are hundreds of verses that teach we just do not have to simply prostrate ourselves before...........UNJUST........government officials appointed above each of us.

Wendy Wilson: Are you by good chance a daughter of Kenneth Wilson? Absolutely and assuredly for all time the VERY BEST EVER judge ever properly sitting in the Sixteenth Judicial District Court of Custer County,Montana? I would very much appreciate knowing this. Thank you.

Ship

Guess who's back...back again...ship is back...tell your friends...
Any bets on how long it takes him to get kick off this time?

Ship talks about "saving $500,000" on tax payments. What that means is that he is happy to have everyone else carry his weight. The technical term for a person like Shipley is "Freeloader." What he has admitted above is that he is a tax cheat and a thief.

Richard Bonine, Jr: Please be advised.........study this anyway you wish. I have read it and reread it and reread it and reread it in the Holy Bible many many times. I have studied and researched this (alot easier you will agree) on the Internet........in the past 15 years..........no fewer than.....perhaps two hundred hours (200).
ROMANS 13: 1-7.......is clearly BEAUTIFUL wholly significant and FITTING as being Almighty GOD's own select teaching as to how we - - - being HIS children- - - are to respect and cohabitate with government in general. Oversimplistically...........IF the damned government was not ALWAYS so damned corrupt there would be no NEED of Romans 13 !!!!!!!! But government is always corrupt..........therefore this NEED precedes anything and everything as per government.**** Be attuned also,Sir, the IRS loves....absolutely loves......complacent pastors from all walks of life.......(while they CLING to their 501c3 nontax declarations in mass).........who teach and preach we all *ought to give to Caesar what is his*......believe me, I know.

Space: "get kick off again".....duh? You must use the past tense....."ed" as in KICKED OFF again. And as if I care. I have emailed the WEBMASTER and he is atuned to the FACT that I do not deliberately abuse this forum in any way....but....if you wish to SILENCE me here..............by having me "kick" off........please,by all means do just exactly that...."Ship"

JCF: I may be whatever your AMERICAN RIGHT TO HOLD AS YOUR LAWFUL OPINION states that I am...........no big deal. However, since you nor 235,000 law school graduate attorneys in the USA cannot disprove me that the IRS and the Income Tax are not LEGAL.........my living in the TRUTH where you select to live in the LIE is the rift here.
Just prove me wrong. Just ....simply....prove me wrong.

JCF: You,Sir or Ma'am, are entirely welcome to hold your own opinion. "Tax cheat and thief"........no big deal. I have been seriously way more obtusely criticized by many far far better persons that you will ever become. "Ship"

Mr. Shipley... Sorry, typo! There's that female unlearneds thing again. My bad!

You cannot convince an anvil that it is an anvil, because it cannot comprehend. For the same reason, I cannot convince you that the IRS is legal. And I don't care to. But soon enough, you will go back to Federal prison, and you can explain to your cell mate why you shouldn't be there.

For Richard Bonine and Bob L : Since you two seem to be heads and shoulders above the common intellect here in Miles City.com.........please enjoy this.............The main difference between Jesus and Obama-Banana-or-whatever-his-real-lawful-name is............is that Jesus (the carpenter) could at least put a cabinet together................da,da,da. "Ship"

Space: No harm done.............no disrespect intended.

JCF: WOWOW,what bitterness you maintain. You are however QUITE wrong. I was never in a federal prison. I was *illegally* detained (as can be read from the RECORD of the case in the James F. Battin federal courthouse in Billings) while I was being processed to the federal court- - - -where I was ACQUITTED by the HIGHEST RANKING law official in the entire State of Montana.......the Honorable Richard F. Cebull....Chief Federal Judge for the Federal District of Montana...who also sentenced my cellmate.....(no name being necessary here)......to.....two hundred eighty (280) months in federal prison for massive methamphetamine dealing.
JCF..........because I know you will need this......280 months is 23 years and 4 months.........i.e., 280 divided by 12 months per calendar year............duh?

JCF: Hmmmmmm, this is quite interesting. I live in the absolute TRUTH and you live in the LIE. Hmmmmmm perhaps you are the anvil? Perhaps it is you who cannot reason? FYI..........now the federal government.........by STATUTE and provision of LAW............owes me $33,000 for loss of income + $65,000 for necessary attorney fees and lawful representation in the federal court system + "whatever is deemed reasonable by statute" for stress and duress for their (IRS and DOJ) having incarcerated me and tried me for a crime I did not commit. FYFI (for your further information) the sections of federal law and CFR (code of federal regulations) which define all this is under the sanction of FTCA........federal tort claims act.
You,Sir or Ma'am, could be of great assistance if you chose to be. You could decently assist me as an American Patriot having been illegally indicted,illegally arrested,illegally detained......by FALSE information and ILLEGAL means crafted by and from the IRS........if you wanted to help me file all the necessary legal forms and documents it will take for the next year and a half to recover this $100,000 and some...........ok? Thank you..."Ship"

Ship, I'm glad to see that you live in the TRUTH. Your life must be very difficult given your position. Because you choose not to fulfill your lawful obligation to pay taxes I assume that you are also not partaking of the benefits others have made possible. For if you do, you are a hypocrite. For example, you probably don't drive on the interstate highways because they are funded by federal dollars. You probably can't take any medicines because often the research used to develop them relied on federal funding. You probably have to grow all your own produce because farms are subsidized by the federal government. You can't ever visit our wonderful national parks or monuments because they are maintained by federal monies. And you can't use the library because they get federal grants.

Yeah Ship..remember the good book now. Give unto Obama which is Obamas and give the rest to Obama. Then sit back and watch the great Change come in form of tax breaks for those that do not pay taxes and free healthcare for those that already get it, via medicare and medicaid.

I would take one person like Rob over a hundred bleeding hearts anyday.
If we all stopped chaseing the Lemming infront of us and looked around we could see Rob holding his follow me flag.

Well there I go again agreeing with Shipley,
Gotta go, the nurse is here with my medication.

I must say, I appreciate this guy - he either stands by his principles like no other or is absolutely nucking futs - either way, I appreciate it.

Guess who's back...back again...ship is back...tell your friends...
Any bets on how long it takes him to get kick off this time?

Spacekace - pretty damned fast, I'd imagine. I'd post his private email to me on here if I didn't have to censor every other word.

Mighty mature head you've got on your shoulders, "Ship."

I got it! I have been fretting over who will do my taxes this year... I'm not going to. I'll just tell em Ship don't, I ain't either. That should work--right?! According to him, we don't have to, and he's a model citizen...and maybe then we could all get on the no-tax-paying bandwagon, and send 3000-some-letters to every citizen in Miles City. Whew, this will all be done in between fighting off wild child eating mountain lions and replacing all the windows in my house...and charging the government for it. Let's all start changing our windows, hot water heaters...go green!!! While not paying taxes...and then get the tax credits for it! Ingenious sir...Ingenious...

I found this online on the Ludwig von Mises blog (http://blog.mises.org/arc...006190.asp).

The post is in response to a story about a man from New Hampshire named Ed Brown who vowed to shoot tax collectors back in 2007. Mr. Brown stated that he would never be taken in alive.

I'll give you three guesses as to who the author of the following post is. As a hint, I've highlighted some of the best parts for your enjoyment.

I have not filed an UNCONSTITUTIONAL IRS form 1040 since 1976 and I never will.
IRS has been now six (6) years trying to extort $200,000 from me and they cannot get a dime.
I do not have an attorney nor a CPA and have defied all these atheists and communists SUI JURIS with my computer and Holy Bible and U.S. Constitution.
Ed and Elaine Brown are wonderful Americans and should be loved and adored and applauded every Fourth of July.
The *IRS* is a mere Third Party collection agency for the BMITW..........biggest mob in the world.........the 12-member International Banking Cartel.........in London,England.....who owns the Federal Reserve as a "private closely held banking entity" as per listings in Dun and Bradstreet.
Corporate Income Tax is LEGAL as per legislation of the U.S. Congress...........personal income tax is neither legal nor passed by U.S. Congress legislation.
You fools that pay income taxes are traitors to your own country and deserve to be summarily deported for your nonchalance and stupidity and despicable gutless wonder.
The IRS can have my Lincolns and diesel 4x4s and home and businesses and money...........anytime they can pry it all out of my cold dead fingers.

Here's another fun exchange involving our mystery author:

http://www.mail-archive.c...01148.html

Here's another pearl of wisdom that was emailed to me by our hero (I've taken the liberty of editing out the parts that needed it):

Mouthy unlearned c********r: Go f*** yourself. Go apply for the City Prosecutor job. You and the present holder are cut from the same bolt of cloth.

Mouthy? Yes, but unlearned?

Go haiku yourself?

The ranks of possible unlearned grows all the time. First females, now mouthy .... (isn't that somewhat redundant?)

Although I can't help but notice they aren't exclusionary sets. Perhaps someone could provide a handy Venn diagram to make this all clearer.

...Brian, if it makes you feel any better, I was the first one to be called an unlearned...female unlearned that is. And he sent me many mouthy emails as well... I, unfortunately deleted mine... shoulda kept them around!

He's a laugh riot and I truly pity him. He's more than welcome to send me as many emails as he likes. I could always use the chuckle.

Spacekace - He came up with some new ones in his most recent email to me. I don't know whether to be alarmed or impressed. Either way, the mingling of pity and humor persists.

Mr. Shipley -

Here's a chance for you to prove to all of us non-millionaire/non-braniacs that what you like to scream at the top of your lungs is correct:

Please give me an instance when the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Internal Revenue Service is unconstitutional.

I don't even need an example of when the IRS has been shown to be "25000%" unConstitutional. I'll be satisfied with a burden of proof of exactly 100%. (See, I'm making it easy for you).

That is, of course, unless you believe that the SCOTUS is also unconstitutional. If that's the case, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Forgive me if I pay more heed to the justices of the Supreme Court than I do you when it comes to matters Constitutional.

Here's a chance for you to put your parents' "your" money where your mouth is. Make me a believer, O' Enlightened One!

Spacecase: Do not know who you are......but I do care about you and your RIGHT to express your opinions. FYI...whomever Brian Reed is......his *freeloading* MSUB email address has now been curtailed by administration and IT persons at MSUB......just in case he has also been hassling any of you with his abject blatant stupidity. Thank you.

Wendy Wislon: For your information......every single eensy teensy US dollar that is......*donated* to the IRS (Federal Reserve).....is sent to London and paid as interest on the National Debt.........none of them EVER are applied into the infrastructure of the US of A. Federal Reserve Notes are *unlawful* currency as per the Constitution.......da,da,da.

Wendy Wilson: Excuse my slight typo of the above....not intended.
You,Lady, supposedly a CPA......(who only had no more than 4% of your CPA exam covering income taxes)........should very discreetly redirect your attention to the TRUTH......the IRS is NOT a federal agency and neither is the Federal Reserve.........so what you think is..taxes being paid for operating USA is a hoax. Rob Shipley

For All Miles City.com Persons: In case anyone wishes to know the TRUTH.....Brian A. Reed.....is a former MSU-Billings employee....fired because he was a jerk......and still using an MSUB email address (as the freeloader he is)that has now been recalled.......da,da,da. Thank you. Rob Shipley

ABE: Thank you. If you approve of my patriotism this is good and I thank you sincerely. It is a CINCH that when the obamatrons crush everything in America and all the Wendy Wilson spoonfed allies are clinging to the government robes,all will be lost. Ship

Buck Showalter: Thank you for your brief accolade. I am just an American veteran of 37 years in US Navy and US Naval Reserve....who loves my country........am sadly alot like Nathan Hale.....in that I have only one life to give for her........but,unlike all these mouthy critics........who are not veterans.......like Wendy Wilson and Brain A. Reed (what does the initial "A" stand for again....duh?). Rob

Wow. Brian, I hope you have learned a valuable lesson here. Its a lesson I learned many years ago, when I was still in high school. It was told to me by the late John Blutarsky....it has to do with eagles and flying.

Biting ... tongue ... must ... fight ... urge ... to ... reply ...

Because you choose not to fulfill your lawful obligation to pay taxes I assume that you are also not partaking of the benefits others have made possible. For if you do, you are a hypocrite. For example, you probably don't drive on the interstate highways because they are funded by federal dollars. You probably can't take any medicines because often the research used to develop them relied on federal funding. You probably have to grow all your own produce because farms are subsidized by the federal government. You can't ever visit our wonderful national parks or monuments because they are maintained by federal monies. And you can't use the library because they get federal grants.

I would like to see a response from Mr Shipley regarding Wendy's comment... anyone else?

Sorry...just re-read the mumbo-jumbo from above... He danced around the issue with verbage and intelligence. And I have formed my own opinion, the man should move to Canada. I think both Miles City and Mr. Shipley would be much happier.

And, BTW... once you have an email set up from a university I believe you can continue to use it after you are no longer a student etc. It's free anyways, why would it be freeloading? I have many friends that still use MSU email's that were established when they were students. I could be wrong though, it just doesn't make sense that the day you graduate or discontinue to work there, they cancel your email account, it's like msn or hotmail cancelling your email when you do not request them to...

Gunnar: I think there are lots of valuable lessons to be learned here.

For Wendy: "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" (but bless your CPA soul for trying)

For Brian: "Don't Argue with a Fool Cuz Folks Won't Be Able to Tell the Difference" (I had to learn that one the hard way myself)

For Rob: "______" (nah, why bother)

For Larry/Webmaster: "Some people really don't deserve a second chance" (I had to learn that one the hard way, too)

Sincerely, Crapduck

For Brian: "Don't Argue with a Fool Cuz Folks Won't Be Able to Tell the Difference" (I had to learn that one the hard way myself)

Hey, if you got somethin' to say, you say it to my face, Crapduck!

Hey Rick - I wasn't thinking of you at all when I wrote that. But, now that you mention it...

Crapduck - that's the single greatest thing anyone has ever said - who was that, Ike?

Correction needed: I am not a CPA, I have never been a CPA. I am
an Enrolled Agent and the two day exam I took was 100% tax related. I am also an attorney although I haven't practiced in years.

Rob, I am not a critic of this country. I may be critical of YOU which is not the same thing although your megalomaniacal brain may have trouble understanding that. I also have many close relatives who were and still are in the military and who have served in the Middle East. You, sir, know nothing.

Bravo, Wendy Wilson!

Geez. I've been missing all of the fun.

You're not QUITE like Nathan Hale, Shipley. As I recall...............

I think you're a lot like this guy in Missoula.......

Wendy, I think you have a new, much deserved MC.com moniker.

BravoWendy!

To answer Buck's question, Ike probably earned the right to give me my MC.com moniker ("Crapduck"), but that remarkably apt descriptor was coined by none other than our one and only (TG!) Rob Shipley.

I wear it like the badge of honor that it is.

For any of you who may be familiar with Harry Potter, in particular the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:

Marvolo Gaunt.

Rob Loves morse code, to bad not everyone can read it right brian ??

http://morsecode.scphilli...lator.html

this may help

Just out of curiosity, is swearing still swearing if it's written in Morse code?

Larry - if someone were to post a Morse code sample of a particular email that a particular person may or may not have sent another person, and said email contained language that would shock the saltiest sailor, would the offending words need to be censored in the Morse code, too?

Rob. Who do you think will make the final four?

Mr. Bob Netherton: I wish to make a very resolute statement out of a true respect for you being my fellow American citizen.

1. "Citizens" of Rome......after a 1000 years of empire....were forced to watch Rome burn while Nero fiddled.
2. Americans are now already in the FINAL THROES of the complete dismantling of the U.S. Constitution and the complete destruction of the most stable currency that has EVER survived anywhere in the civilized world over the past 3500 years........the U.S. Dollar.

3. Obamatrons and Pelosicrats have established themselves as the ruling elite...........the USA is $53 trillion in debt to the rest of the world.........they are going to be sequestered to retirements all at YOUR taxpayer expense....unscathed.

4. The fix is in...it is over.........you,Sir, deserve to somehow survive. Thank you.

I'll take that to mean you're going with the #1 seeds.
