You don't have your shop-made equipment on your books?? How do you
report your assets when you go for a loan? Don't you have business
property taxes in Ohio? Tom, Tom...have you undervalued your
assets? g


My accountant states that I can't take $2k in steel and $2k in parts
and $5k in labor and capitalize it as a $50k machine...which is what
it would cost to buy it or have it built. We write it off as shop
expense, perfectly legal. As far as assets for loans, the building
and property, paid for, more than cover any loans we would want.

If $9,000 is all you invest in a machine, then, it doesn't sound like
you're inhibited in your investments by whatever it is you're
complaining about.

I still don't get how you're claiming that costs are keeping you from
investing, but I don't think I'm going to learn much from this
go-around.

It's PERCEIVED costs if the Democrats get their way and tax the ****
out of everything...and they certainly will if they have their way.

In other words, you're not investing because of taxes you think are
coming. But how does not investing improve that picture for you? Are
you expecting losses? Are you expecting your market to decline?

And if those are reasonable expectations, why are people offering to
buy your company from you? Are they stupid? And if you expect losses
but there are people ready to buy your company RIGHT NOW, why in hell
aren't you selling?

None of the complaints seem to hold together.

The Democrats will be out of power in 2010, I'll hold out. If I sell
now, what would I do? Sit at home?

You could go practice with your Mini-14, for the revolution Gunner says
is coming.

What if you hold out, and you're wrong? By then, if you're right, your
business will be worth nothing, right? Where will the buyers be then?
Where will the customers be?

Well, if libtards have their way, it won't matter. After the nuclear
exchanges that Obama and his minions will cause, after half the country is
living in tent cities due to Democrats destroying the economy further,
after domestic manufacturing is either owned by the government, shut down
or moved out, after libtard cheese-checks loose their value to buy 40s and
drugs, after everybody has free health care but nobody to pay for it,
after CO2 production is eliminated(with all jobs, heat and
transportation), after all that...I will be long gone out of the US...just
like the rest of American jobs.

I shouldn't have sold my Gibbs, it could "pink-mist" at 1,000 yards,
although I would have needed to upgrade the optics. I saw a nice Zeiss
for about $1,000 at Midwest, I wonder If I could get a government grant
for improving the environment?

I doubt it. But after those two paragraphs, you could look into getting one
for some personal counseling. d8-)
