Jim in Anchorage

Old myths sure die hard Doesn't anyone have access to census figures more currant than 1900? The gold rush is over. Anchorage is just a regular city, 1:1 same as everywhere. The only problem with woman in Anchorage is they wear to many damn clothes

Ha! +9 in Minneapolis; +21 here in beautiful, balmy Anchorage. +9? Are you having a unseasonal heat wave? Since this started with a tax issue, I need to brag on Alaska a bit. No state tax. No sales tax. Every resident gets a yearly $800-$2000 check from the state from oil royalty investments. Unemployment rate 2% lower than the lower 48. Stable economy based on oil, military installations, fishing. Try to outsource THAT to India.

Hasn't this been covered? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...107087&st=0

I,ll get started immediately Hows the move going?

I agree. Which is why when Buffet speaks publicly, my first thought is"whats in it for him?" The man has been playing this game for a long time, and is good at it.

Well Buffet also supported Obama so I don't put a lot of faith in him. Also his vaunted "class A" stock has been largely treading water for years; I think the old boys best years are behind him.

looks like Reid is going to shove it through. Friday should be a interesting day on Wall street, and I don't mean good link.

Thats where the teleprompter was. McCain is rightfully getting a charge out of this.

Looks like it's stuck pretty bad Martians already looking to loot it

I can't even imagine keeping track of [or proving, in case of a audit] all the sales tax you pay in a year. It would involve hundred's of receipts. Everything you bought from a box of pencils to a new car would have to be added up.

You know this is way off the OP, but it got me thinking.[a feat in itself] The big deal with the Bills is when he dies the heirs will have to pay a large estate tax so they will sell the team to cover it. If RW is serious about keeping the team in WNY, why not sell it now with a clause the new owner[and subsequent owners] keep it where it is? So what if he has a $200 million capital gains tax hit? The $800 million from the sale would cover that nicely.

I wonder if you could deduct sales taxes[not that I pay any ]

Whats a state tax?

Admittedly, my taxes are more complicated than most, but I was going from the impression I got from the OP that this is the first time he had to figure in home ownership. Hire a tax pro the first year. Pick their brain. Learn everything you can. Then next year do it yourself.

Great. The "barfing Bills"

I can always spot a diamond in the rough.

Maybe a dumb question, I don't follow the Eagles. Who said McNabb was leaving Philadelphia?

H&R block- worthless. They go back to their regular jobs as pet sitters after the 15th. Turbo tax- worthless. Hire a real tax professional-mine charges about $250 and my taxes are fairly complicated because I own rental property, but it's worth every penny and then some.

Dumpster diving.

Or a real trick question like how many states there are, and how many he has left to go.

A formal speech to a 6th grade class? Was he going to forget the name of the school?

Which ban- the old sunseted Federal one or the NYS one? 10+ new manufacture Magazines are a dime a dozen since the "assault rifle " ban expired. As far as I know[i bought enough mags in the early 90's to last a life time-haven't bought any post ban] the post ban[Federal] mags would be the same as pre-ban-no"law enforcement only" markings. How would anyone know if they were made in 1994 or 2009?

And the bottom line is they will watch the SB same as the Bills, in the recliner in front of the TV.

I thought any magazine over 10 rounds was illegal in NY? But even the Texas Castle Doctrine doesn't allow shooting at fleeing criminals. It can be done only in defense of your or others lives-not to keep someone from"getting away"
