SaveWealth Notes Impact Hurricane Katrina May Have on Estate Tax Repeal
(ContentDesk) September 10, 2005 -- SaveWealth introduced a news story today on the impact Hurricane Katrina may have on permanent repeal of the estate tax. With passage of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001,
gradual elimination of the estate tax is scheduled to take place in 2010. However, the sunset provision of the law may allow estate taxes to come back with a vengeance. Starting in 2011, individuals with estates over $1 million may be forced to pay estate taxes, with some rates climbing upwards of 50%. Legislation has been introduced in the House to repeal the estate tax permanently, with critics of the tax gaining momentum during summer recess.
Senators returning from summer break were supposed to consider the legislation, but instead were forced to contend with the unprecendented devastation Hurricane Katrina brought to the South.With damage estimates of well over $100 billion, mushrooming federal deficits, as well as a full legislative calendar, estate tax repeal may not happen this year if it happens at all.

Beware the overseas property scammers from hell!
A property scam story in the UK Daily Telegraph recently has highlighted, yet again, the need to be cautious when dealing with prospective ?cash' purchasers abroad and has prompted me to relate a similar tale that happened to us.
The Telegraph story concerned a lady who was selling a property in France and who had a buyer offer her more than the asking price over the telephone without ever seeing the house.
(Alarm bells should already be ringing!)
This ?buyer' then sent her an international money order including an extra ?12,000 to cover his ?legal costs' which he asked her to send on to his ?lawyers' once the money order had been credited to her account.
Of course, as soon as the money order went into her bank and was shown as a credit her buyer was on the telephone constantly to transfer the ?12,000 so as to ?get things moving quickly'.
She, very wisely, refused to do this until the money was actually...

Slavery ? It?s Economic in Today?s World
Slavery has taken a new dimension in our country. People are no longer owned and driven to perform tasks for no pay. Today, slavery is to our governments, with very little chance of ever breaking the financial bondage.On average, Americans now spend more time working to pay their taxes than they spend working to provide food, clothing, and shelter combined. According to the Tax Foundation, the typical middle-income taxpayer in 2003 had to work until April 19 just cover their federal and state income taxes. That's almost a third of the year, 109 days, or 2 hours and 23 minutes of each eight hours in earnings.
Now add on your local taxation fees and your homeowner tax. Each American is working almost half a year just to pay their annual tax burden. Close to half of your 8 hour, workday is going directly to pay your tax requirements. In comparison, in 1930, it only took 30 seconds of an individuals daily work time to cover their tax burden.Many people discuss the "good 'ol days"...

As your cleaning business grows and you add employees, keeping track of time sheets and adding up hours can be a big headache. If you have just one or two employees a paper time sheet where employees "clock in" and "clock out" for each location they clean may be all that you need to track their hours.
