its $2.15 here, and when you take about .40 cents per gallon of
State
and Fed taxes off, it could get better, but that's not gonna
happen.

That's the irony of the most recent congression hearings into the
large oil company profits.

The oil companies make about 7 1/2% profit. The government makes
almost 20%...but nobody is investigating the government's profits!


Government's "profit?"

Yes, tax revenue is a profit...until the government wastefully
spends it again.




Uh-huh. Is that what you learn on NewsMax?


If revenue comes in, and you don't purchase anything with the revenue,
then what do you call the money that is left over at the end of the
year? The IRS calls it profit.

I just bought 4 Dell computers and $6k worth of dental handpieces
because I wanted to take advantage of my Section 179 tax savings
before the year ended. I could have made it awhile longer on the
older equipment, but *chose* to spend the money now. If I didn't buy
the computers and handpieces, I would have ended the year with an
additional $11000 in profit.

Get it?





We're not talking about your dental practice and its profit. We're
talking about the government.

Oh, and I would eliminate that "tax savings" for your dental practice,
and all other forms of business welfare.

It doesn't seem quite right that a successful practice like NOYB's
dental office should be getting tax breaks.
