		<description>How to Finance a Small Business

1. Decide how much money you need to start or expand your business.
2. Write a business loan proposal that outlines your company&#039;s financial history and projected profits.
3. Get a credit report.

6. Consider a personal loan if you require only a small amount of money or have poor credit.
7. Apply for a line of credit at your bank if yours is an existing business in need of a flexible source of capital.

You can find out very many:
1. How to File for a Business Loan

4. How to Form a Limited Partnership
5. How to Form a Partnership

		<description>&quot;And that Social Security the employer paid for you?&quot;

Satatom you are just a lost soul.

That employer contribution would be SALARY for you if the gubermint wasn&#039;t taking it away. You may argue that the company wouldn&#039;t pay you competitive wages to keep you - but the bottom line is the feds would not get a dime if an employee didn&#039;t w.o.r.k. for the employer to earn the wages the FICA is stolen from.</description>

		<description>&quot; those top 1 percent provide so much benefit to society that they deserve nearly a million dollars more.&quot;

You totally don&#039;t get it Capn. You are so far gone.

Where is it written in our constitution that any American has to &quot;provide benefit to society&quot;?

Somehow, you confuse &quot;compassion&quot; and &quot;giving&quot; with a constitutional requirement which does not exist.

I don&#039;t give a rats a*s if the millionairs or billionares give ONE PENNY back to society.

This used to be America. Land of the free.

The only place I can think of where your dogma might come in to play would be the standard, &quot;From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.&quot;  And that&#039;s not a USA constitutional item.</description>

Yeah, I’m looking forward to my happy golden years.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=

Unfortunately, you&#039;ll never be happy so long as you suspect that somebody, somewhere, who is less deserving than you, is getting something for nothing.  You&#039;ll go to your grave a bitter old fart.

Your post at 9:07pm provides evidence of this fact.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Obama looked deeply into Medvedev Eyes and Knew He Could Trust Him!  Did they kiss?

In Confidence-Building Effort, Obama Trusts, Medvedev Empathizes

President Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev engage in confidence-building measures aimed at &quot;resetting&quot; the relationship between the two nations. 

Dmitry Medvedev is &quot;straightforward, professional&quot; and trustworthy, President Obama said Monday, as he and the Russian president engaged in confidence-building measures aimed at &quot;resetting&quot; the relationship between the U.S. and Russia.

&quot;Throughout our interactions I&#039;ve found him to be straightforward, professional. He is clear about the interests of the Russian people, but he&#039;s also interested in finding out what the interests of the United States are,&quot; Obama said in Moscow, while sharing a stage with Medvedev at their first joint news conference.

Asked by a reporter whether he has full trust in Medvedev, widely perceived to be a puppet for his predecessor, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Obama said he and Medvedev &quot;have found, I think, an ability to work together extremely effectively.&quot;

For his part, Medvedev demonstrated that he and Obama share more than just a title. Just as Obama said he seeks judiciary nominees with the empathy that will enable them to adjudicate more fairly, Medvedev said personal relationships can improve attitudes and build trust.

&quot;Personal relationships are very important, especially when you speak about the building of inter-state relationships. The best relationship between the countries are the more empathy people have towards each other in different countries,&quot; Medvedev said through a translator.

&quot;A lot depends on our relationship and success in delivering on all those expectations on different fronts,&quot; he continued. &quot;A lot depends on our efforts, bearing in mind that our people have always had sympathy towards -- empathy towards each other.&quot;</description>

<p>&#8220;Throughout our interactions I&#8217;ve found him to be straightforward, professional. He is clear about the interests of the Russian people, but he&#8217;s also interested in finding out what the interests of the United States are,&#8221; Obama said in Moscow, while sharing a stage with Medvedev at their first joint news conference.</p>
<p>Asked by a reporter whether he has full trust in Medvedev, widely perceived to be a puppet for his predecessor, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Obama said he and Medvedev &#8220;have found, I think, an ability to work together extremely effectively.&#8221;</p>
<p>For his part, Medvedev demonstrated that he and Obama share more than just a title. Just as Obama said he seeks judiciary nominees with the empathy that will enable them to adjudicate more fairly, Medvedev said personal relationships can improve attitudes and build trust.</p>
<p>&#8220;Personal relationships are very important, especially when you speak about the building of inter-state relationships. The best relationship between the countries are the more empathy people have towards each other in different countries,&#8221; Medvedev said through a translator.</p>
<p>&#8220;A lot depends on our relationship and success in delivering on all those expectations on different fronts,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;A lot depends on our efforts, bearing in mind that our people have always had sympathy towards &#8212; empathy towards each other.&#8221;</b></p>

		<description>I did some hard work Sunday.  Cut down small trees and brush in my daughter&#039;s back yard with a chain saw.

Note to others--never buy a chain saw.  Then you don&#039;t get asked to use it.

It did give me an opportunity to sing Monty Python&#039;s &quot;LumberJack Song.&quot;

&quot;Oh, I&#039;m a lumber jack 
And I&#039;m okay.
I sleep all night
And I work all day.&quot;

&quot;He&#039;s a lumberjack 
And he&#039;s okay.
He sleeps all night
And he works all day.&quot;

&quot;I like to wear women&#039;s panties
A girdle and a bra!&quot;

		<description>Yeah, good question, MHawk.

I&#039;d be interested in that too . . . 

I&#039;m betting JimMax&#039;s idea of hard work is changing channels without the remote.</description>

BIG BIG DIFFERENCE, in case you hadn&#039;t noticed.

You Libs cry like baby birds because Big Government isn&#039;t feeding you enough.

Those who have worked hard, supported themselves, and earned their ways through life are simply trying to keep you theives from taking what we have earned through hard work and sweat.

You should try one day of hard work.  Might even sweat a little.  Do ya some good.</description>

		<description>Confiscation of property, and a progressive income tax, are both tenants of Marxism.

When the Commies took over Eastern Europe, they:

1.  Imposed a heavy progressive income tax.
2.  Confiscated property.

Obama promises the same, only calling it:

Cap &amp; Trade 
Higher taxes on the Rich
Free Healthcare
Saving the banks
Saving the insurance companies
Saving the car companies

Oh Obama, please don&#039;t save anyone else!</description>

This is as much a right - as your right to say my money rightfully belongs to the feds for your social programs.
======================

Wrong AmWay.  Some else does not have the &#039;right&#039; to your own money.

To be secure in one&#039;s own person and one&#039;s own property is a basic fundamental right of FREEDOM.

When you and your wife&#039;s life work and earnings is taken and given to someone else, then YOU and YOUR wife lose your right to Freedom, nothwithstanding what the freeloaders on this blog aim to do.</description>

Walking on water is not YET an ability I have mastered.

Not offending the delicate sensibilities of XXX is one I no longer concern myself with.
