NOYB,
You are just upset because you would have to fill some cavities to
write
off your trip, but it still might be a good deal.

There are all sorts of "grey area" methods to save taxes. Writing off
non-business related trips as a business expense is not my way to save
taxes. As a corporation, I could make my wife an officer, and then
write-off *any* trip that I take by simply keeping a journal of daily
"business meetings". But I consider that unethical...and would never do

it.


But there are always those educational seminars held in luxury vacations
spots. The medical doctors seem to really be hooked on those.


The only one I take advantage of is the annual Florida Dental Association
meeting in Orlando. But I must get an advertisement for a new one in some
exotic locale almost every day in the mail.

I *will* be attending the ADA meeting in Hawaii in 2009 though. ;-)


How many years have you been married :)

I get clients to pay for many of my trips. They usually want some sort
of presentation from me at their meetings. Since I am on a retainer fee,
they don't have to pay more for me to be there, so they're glad to pick
up my airfare, hotel, meals, et cetera. I was invited to a meeting next
month in Seattle, but I talked the client into putting me off until
Spring. I do hope the sun shines a little in Seattle in the Spring.


Do you claim the trip as income?



I should be embarrassed to say this, but I don't know. My books are
handled by an accountant, and he prepares my taxes, too. I follow his
advice. When I say "pick up" my travel expenses, I pay for them up front,
submit a voucher and receipts, and get reimbursed. I don't mark up these
purchases, so I suspect they are a wash, tax-wise.


I hope he is a union accountant!

Chuck,

Glad you are back safely. You buddy Harry has been having a rough
time this weekend and could use some consoling.

Oh my! Bert sure turned his tail under now that Chuck's back.
That was funny.
The funniest thing about Bert is that he believes he is anything
more than a nitwit. He and the rest of the right-wing
low-brain-output types declare "victory" after "victory" here, but
so far, the only trophy they have won is the the booby prize.

But don't mess with Bert. He earns as much as a government employee.
And now you know that I make more money per year than you do.



Sure, Bertbrain. You make more than I made in the early 1970s. I'm
impressed.

--

Tell us about your job as senior executive in 1976 when you earned
$205,000/year (current USD) Harry. That salary is especially
impressive for one in his 20's.
I was a senior account executive, not a "senior executive." I suppose I
could explain the difference to you, but...why bother, eh? An ad agency
account exec performs a number of duties, including managing the account
services department, determining the need for advertising, and
maintaining the accounts of clients. I also wrote all the copy for my
accounts.

And since you know I was not in my 20's, and have been advised of that
at least a half-dozen times, you're lying when you keep repeating that
mistruth.


When are you going to say that you earn more money than me today?


Why should I indulge a worthless piece of crap like you, Bertbrain?


Because it will prove you to be a liar in front of all of those from whom
you seek acceptance.

Here, I found a link for you. Look at the "large" agencies.

Nice link but could you show me where a 35 year old would be making
$205,000/year as a Senior Account Executive with an Ad Agency?

My links show the top end to be in the mid $90,000.

You are a remarkable person to have demanded a salary of $205,000
(today's USD) as the ripe age of 35.

Nice going Harry.


You know, I'm trying to resist calling you a dimwit, but I do believe you
have a difficult time understanding what you read here. You are always
"misunderstanding" posts and reaching the conclusions you want to reach.

I stated earlier that job descriptions have changed over the years, and
that while my title back then was senior AE, my actual duties were those
of a group supervisor or director of CS, because that is what I did.

I also carefully explained to you how compensation typically was
determined back in those days. But you found a chart...

D'oh.

Enough from me on this already.

Now, what was it you said you did for a living?



I provided facts Harry. If doing so is being a
dimwit....................then I guess I am a dimwit.

You on the other hand provided assumptions and suppositions. Your tap dance
about changing job titles and the declining importance of the job over the
years does not cut it.

But I am sure others will believe you Harry and that is all that is
important to you............eh? ;-)

Nice going. $205,000 as a senior account executive in advertising at age
35, even with major agencies,
is.......................................extraordi nary.

You are da' man!

Eh?

And for the last time:
I do not discuss my personal income in usenet.



Sure you do. You did so yesterday. Did you forget that already Harry?

I may be able to generate statistics for Harry's posts for the last two
years. I will be able to show hourly within each day and daily within
each week and weekly. The process of gathering the raw data is slowed
since Harry narc'd on my with Google last time I did this and they
reduced the number of articles you can return from a search and during
each day.

The data gathering continues.



Obviously you and the bottom dwellers really care about this...which of
course means you are obsessed with me.


We've already got Chuck and Gene on the line with respect to your claims. We
are working on Don now.

I do not discuss my personal income in usenet.

You don't really think you are bright enough to "trick" me into
revelations on either subject, do you, Bertbrain?


You can't help yourself can you? Each time I post you have to reply to it.

A. I don't give a damn what you or any other piece of right-wing crap
believes, and don't take that personally.

B. I was moderately successful when I worked for others in the ad agency
biz. I know guys who were far more succe$$ful.



Good for you Harry. We believe you. ;-)

We don't care what you believe, Jim.



*We*?



You're just someone to twiddle with in usenet, and mean no more than the
doodles I scribble on newsprint while thinking up headlines for an ad or a
brochure.



Actually I believe that is how most folks percieve you and your
stories...err fantasties.........I mean lies. Eh?


What do you do for a living, Jim? Too embarrassed to say?


Not at all Harry. I will post my professional resume to this NG when I read
about your death in the Baltimore Times.
