Promises, promises

You must have been confabulating Dan.  New word for you to look up, eh?  BTW, I mean it in the medical sense.

;D ;D ;D

What are you talking about now  ???  

There is this one episode of Seinfeld where Kramer learns what a tax write-off is.  He starts going around advising everyone to just spend money on ridiculous things and "just write it off."  Essentially, the same approach to accounting you have.

You don't get one dollar back through your taxes for every dollar you spend.  The only way this would happen would be in a 100% tax bracket, I believe.  Let me try to take a really stripped-down example: if you decide to incur a one dollar expenditure because you can write it off and your tax bracket is 40%, you are still spending $.60, not a zero as you believe.  If your other choice was not to make that expenditure, and it did not negatively affect your business, you just made a stupid business decision.  I think.  You might want to get your CPA to explain to you the basics, Mr. Corporate.

Anyway, you didn't need that to look suspicious.  Just look at one of your recent adventures, from the thread in which we were talking about cars.  You said you returned a leased Lexus after only nine months of a 24 month contract, and lost $7,000.  Unfortunately, you also said monthly payments were $800.  Do the math, it doesn't work.  I didn't say anything then because at this point, I don't think anyone believes anything you say and you are quite entertaining. ;D

I don't think Buells are that evil ;)

Wicked at times maybe, but not evil ;D

why, do you think it's going to make you look more believable? ;)

It depends which browser I am using.  Microsoft has my other name in memory, Mozilla has this one.

You have a lot of nerve anyway, Mr. Cornercamping, Number35, various versions of Deucelectronics, and other names I forget... At least I don't change names because I get banned. ;D

Thanks Old808.  When Dan asked for a further explanation, I figured (1) I don't want to spend the time to type it all; (2) if he really doesn't understand it, his company's in trouble and (3) I figured he understood it but was just crying out for more attention on the board.  

For you Dan, it doesn't matter that you're not the, or a, finance guy.  You're supposedly part of the senior brain trust.  Making decisions that will affect the whole company.  You NEED to grasp these simple things.  Also, if your travel to these meetings is required for business and they allow you to live anywhere in the US, then why on earth are the expenses on your dime anyway? ???

Nevermind.  I don't feel like explaining all the details. The way we do things works for us.  ;)

Nope.  There's no need for me to explain my financial issues with you guys.  What's the purpose? Nothing anyone says is going to change the way I do things, so there's no need to discuss it.
