What is your opinion of Anne Kilkenney’s e-mail about Sarah Palin’s “experience” as an Alaskan Politician?

If you’re wondering, Anne is a citizen of Wasilla, Alaska, who has sent out an e-mail to inform us of how Sarah Palin ran their small town and the Alaskan Government. Apparently, Palin left the town a 22 million dollar debt, ran her gubernatoral campaign in support of the “bridge to nowhere”, and has drained a state surplus.

Here is an excerpt:

During her mayoral administration most of the actual work of running
this small city was turned over to an administrator. She had been
pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had
gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had
given rise to a recall campaign.

Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a “fiscal conservative”. During her 6
years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over
33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the
City increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation
(1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a
regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she
promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they
benefited residents.

The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration
weren’t enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed
money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it
with indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encourage
the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said
she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a
new library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of a
multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece
of property that the City didn’t even have clear title to, that was
still in litigation 7 yrs later–to the delight of the lawyers
involved! The sports complex itself is a nice addition to the
community but a huge money pit, not the profit-generator she claimed it
would be.

Please read the rest here and voice your opinion:

Tax questions about over the road truck driving?

How does the tax credit work for the number of days spent on the road? Can a cell phone line be written off if used by the truck driver for work related calls, if so is it the whole monthly fee or only minutes used? Thanks for any info.

Have you heard about Tom Cryer’s acquittal on income tax evasion? Tom proved the tax had no legal grounds.

Tom Cryer, a Shreveport, LA, trial attorney who has refused to file
tax returns for years was recently acquitted of evasion and willful
failure to file charges filed against him by the federal government. At
the trial Tom told the jury that there is no law making him liable for
the income tax; that his fees, personally earned by his own labor, were
not “income” as defined by the Supreme Court; and that if any income was
derived from his labor any such income is exempt (and excluded by the
code and regulations) because they are derived from a non-taxable
activity, i.e., the exercise of a God-given fundamental right, our
Constitutionally protected right to earn a living by any lawful occupation.

He won. There’s no arguing that.
and sorry but, 2007 trumps 2004.
PepsiSlime—having perused your answers list I see they are almost all regarding taxes of some sort….so you are almost certainly biased for some reason….what would that be?
Pep—It’s become obvious through research that your career and livelihood revolve around taxes and the payment thereof….it renders your advice biased at the very least….you may well be right in the end but because of your profession your motives will always be in question.

OK, not sure why this question was removed, but let’s try again… I’m about to receive a gift of property…

… from my employer, and need to know if I should consult with a tax attorney, OR, a CPA to get the very best advice on how to minimize my tax burden legally.

In other words, which professional would give me the most comprehensive advice?

Thanks!
wartz. My employer is a long-time friend, and he’s going to give me the property, but from what I’ve been told, an employer cannot “give” a gift to an employee due to their professional relationship. BUT, really, I’m not looking for an answer to my tax problem, what I’m looking for is advice on whether a tax attorney, or a CPA will be best to go with. Thanks.
