I don't care what the quotes say. The Beverly Hillbillies was one of my favorites back in the day. I'm absolutely positive he said "yeee doggies"!
You sure the quotes weren't from the movie?
BS away!
Been a while since I have been around the Yacht Club set, but I did find that most of the owners of the big boys were business owners that registered the boats to their company and received tax deductions as it was considered a business expense. Same with their autos and 2-3 homes. Somehow they received tax deductions on the professional clothing and if wife was a partner her clothing, lavash party's at their home for friends and family were deducted as long as 6 or more business men and woman from another business related to theirs were in attendance.
Only heard of one man who tried to deduct his daughters wedding expenses as he claimed he talked business at the reception with future customers. Don't know how that turned out as it was 25 years ago.
Rules change year to year, Government Contractors would hire workers for minimin wage, bill the government saying cost over runs as they were paying the workers 3 times as much as they were getting, Buy material that were seconds and charge the price for the Good stuff. The bidding wars were a dog eat dog, some of the tricks to get a bid on a project were very skillfull, sneaky and underhanded.
Yes one has to have money to make MONEY, Poor Folk like us head for H&R with every deduction we can find from town and state taxes to cost of a town dog tag. We do this, so as long as it is legal should not the wealthy do so???
Were I to get a job with deductable travel expenses and a company car from my employer, you betcha I would take the perks and a lower pay rate, it would be better then to get in the long run a few bucks more and have to pay the expenses myself.
We need to learn to fend for ourselves if we are going to be supporting half the country that depends on Government Help of any kind. A $5,000 stove for $1,000 is a steal for someone that has the money to buy it, I would resell it for $2500 or donate it to a Charity and take the tax deduction. A used car or truck, camping trailer or boat that one can afford to buy from someone that needs to be rid of it ------this is the Yankee Way.
Had this guy running about bitching about a boat motor he bought for $500 and cost him $1500 to get into a new like condition. To get a new engine would have cost him $8,000. Poor man could not understand that the older motor if kept up on maintenance year to year for 3 years before an overhaul was better then the new model that needed a $1,800 part after 2 years, Labor costs get you there. Damn fool was saving $4,000 in 3 years and did not know it.
Liberals are the crazy folk that want everything brand new, forgetting that most high price items will last for years if properly maintained. Have to have that new $30,000 car or truck, so you have a 10 year old car with low millage and has been paid off for 6 years. Now it is nickle dimming you to the tune of $1500 a year. Trade it in with $300 a month payments or spend a few hundred to get a new paint job, regular check ups, cost is around $125 a month----savings are $175 a month or $2,100 for just one year over the price of a new car that can be recalled 2-3 times a year for factory defects. So keep that car or truck another 10 years and it is called a classic. Do the Math.
Libs, will go through their closets and throw out clothing and shoes that are out of style and buy new ones. 5 years from now if stored properly those clothing and styles come back and that Jacket one paid $100 for new ,now the exact same thing costs $ 250.00.
Libs do not look to the future they want everything now, they buy their kids anything they want, such as sneakers that cost $150 a pair when generic sneakers cost $30.00 and are just as good and may last longer.
A Penny saved is a penny earned. This post has me really going here, if he wants to have the good things in life then he has to cut out those $3.00 star bucks coffee, cut down on night life at $5.00 a drink, spending $80.00 a whack for dinner out, just a start, but that leads to treasure hunts for bargains to enrich his life at little cost.
Dumb shit has no idea that the buy low sell high is the way to go to give him a leg up.
