I think it was a bad thing to post.<br /><br />I placed that link a couple of years ago and have not visited it since. I posted it because it was funny.<br /><br />Let me point out that I am not racist and I do not agree with the post you mention. As a libertarian, I believe in freedom to everyone, and that we should all adhere to the golden rule. As a constitutionalist, I believe in free speech. Despite the disgusting, racial remarks of that site, I will not be removing thew link. I will keep an eye on it. If I see any more posts like that I will pull the link.Bill Jungbauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770835752170155412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358200962751177504.post-7871811048035133322009-08-23T19:27:51.229-05:002009-08-23T19:27:51.229-05:00Why do you link to the racist Anti-Strib website? ...Why do you link to the racist Anti-Strib website? This is the site that called Native Americans "dirt-worshiping heathens." Is that what you think of Native Americans Jungbauer?

If he did not make a profit, how long do you think my coworkers and I would be employed?<BR/><BR/>My boss is not the IRS. The IRS could declare $75.00 per mile. That does not mean I will get that. I am a carpenter. Many in my field do not get 40 cents per mile. Some I have talked to get 30 cents, some get 35. What it all comes down to is when I do my taxes, I claim the difference. So I take my business miles and multiply by .085 and that is my deduction.<BR/><BR/>If you get 48.5 cents per mile, good for you! I drive a beat up 1988 GMC van that was paid for a long, long time ago. It has 175,000 miles on it and I do all my own repairs. So what I get is still profitable to me. I plan on driving it until it dies.<BR/><BR/>Your comment has no bearing on Thomas Bakk and his mileage claim. As well as those others who claim the big mileage. Let us speculate that he gets 48.5 cents per mile. Now that I think about it, I bet he is getting 48.5 cents per mile. After all, it is our tax money and the government we are talking about here. That means that he claimed over 21,250 miles and at 60 miles per hour that equals about 354 hours of driving time. That is almost 9 full work weeks. Again, is he at the capitol or on the road?Bill Jungbauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770835752170155412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358200962751177504.post-20043565759690342802007-11-17T18:35:00.000-06:002007-11-17T18:35:00.000-06:00The figures without explanation given in your post...The figures without explanation given in your post are just that.<BR/><BR/>Why does your boss only give you $0.40/mile when the IRS allows for 48.5 cents? Sounds like you're making your boss money on every mile you drive.Ed Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974241571519355684noreply@blogger.com
