There's something not at all right about the factcheck article. I can't see how Bush could own so little of a partnership as to earn $84. Seems more likely he owns stock in a timber company, which hardly makes him a small business owner.

Here's Bush's tax return for 2001 showing the $84, but I don't see any reference to it being a timber company. Am I missing something? Confused

Anyway, I think Bush just took Kerry outside back of the woodshed and whooped him up side the head with a piece of that "timber" - way to go Bush!!! Very Happy

Hey, there are over 400 posts. If everyone gave just $10.00 that would be well over $2,000.00. Some have given well over that.

I'm an accountant. If there are less than 500,000 Sub S businesses, I believe I know at least half of them personally and I don't get around that much!

I just pulled a book off my bookshelf, VERY DATED I might add. In 1993 there were 1,905,800 Sub S Corporate returns filed with the IRS. That number has grown leaps and bounds since then. (I'm looking for the source of that to see if I can find an updated number. Maybe others have newer info than that.) Then on top of the Sub S, you have LLPs which file partnership returns but are pretty much like Sub S corps.

Great debate. If Kerry memorizes a few more Republican quotes, Bush won't have to show up for the next one.

factcheck.org says Bush's argument is inflated. Possibly true, but what is not said is that ultimately, all taxes are borne primarily by the middle class, regardless of who pays 'em on surface inspection. The question is, which policies result in the best economic situation for the most people, in the long run.

This is probably not the forum for THAT discussion, however!

the dems have been making jokes all week about bush/cheney saying you have a 'small business' if you have a garage sell, bake sell etc....

They're probably talking about Bush clearing the wood (fallen trees) on his ranch! maybe they sell it for firewood to people in Crawford.... or to the Secret Svc people for their Crawford 'home'....

anyone who hasn't been to the topic list for awhile, needs to check it out.... drudge has a copy of an ABC memo..... s....t gonna hit the fan.... oh wait, I forgot ABC won't report it!!!! maybe c BS will as payback!

I'm gonna email Greta also.... I emailed her after he VP debate- also Brit etc.... that we weren't wasting our time on their polls as the dems were doing repeat voting etc.... Brit mentioned today that emails came in before the debate EVEN STARTED saying that Edwards won!!!

Flash polls, as skewed as they are, can say anything they want. I sure enjoyed seeing Kerry stammering the few times he did. Laughing

I'll wait for real polls early next week to see what really is said. Ultimately, the only poll that counts will be the one we hear about November 3, though Wink

IMO, Bush made Kerry dance to the tune of his sixguns!

Hehe Texans Should Be Proud!

Serious, a history lesson from four years, ago: Gore was touted as being much better than Bush in their first debate, but Bush came back and trounced him in the other two.

My theory is this: Bush may play the bumpkin in the first debate, but what he is doing is analyzing his opponant's style of debating. It's just like in any war, you get a good analysis of the enemy and then use that intel to blow him away.
