Well I read through it as well and as a former contract consultant I have no idea what in hell he is talking about. I had no special "rules" applied as far as my income taxes were concerned, other than quarterly reporting and that applies to anyone self employed.
While we do use a tax accountant I still read over the forms when I get them back, as much to see where all the 1099s etc get plugged in, etc. as to look for discrepancies.
Sure, the sub primates should be in jail but unfortunately it would be damn difficult to prove that they broke any laws; the mortgage system is such a dog's brekfast.
I get a lot of people telling me that lobbying is not legalized bribery because the First Amendment allows it but I maintain the it is a complete misreading of the amendment. And there is the source of much of the problems we are faced with, that coupled to the gullibility of the electorate. Given the way the system of government is set up the wonder is not that it works badly, but that it even works at all.
His rant against the Catholic church displayed a lot of bigotry as all "churches" are tax exempt, even Pat Robertson's.
But I guess it is allright for me to talk as I did not hear the voices he did.
