    Rich,I'm glad you feel safer by the events going on in Iraq.I'm still sleeping without a gun next to my bed.Unfortunatly,when we invaded this sovern country,it tended to upset"a handful of hoodlums and ex bathist party members".They then called in a few of their friends from Syria and Jordan to...

    Osama is a fanatic,a zealot,with alot of oil money from his family to play with.I do not believe he represents the entire Muslum world.There are many,many American citizens of the Muslum faith,many in each of our communities. Our country misread Osam's capabilities.Keep in mind,in the Afgahn war...

    No one is advising me to operate without a contract. That is a personal choice.But,if I choose to utilize a contract,it will be the one I described,which meet's the letter of the law. There is only one reason,in this little business of mine,to go to a contract,and it would to meet IRS...

    The Iraqi's had nothing to do with 911. Osama and his band of merry men were all Suadi's.How are we safer now? Our policy is creating new terrorsits everyday,just the opposite of what we should be doing.The Iraqi's welcomed us with open arms alright,it's just that their middle fingers were in...

    I would suggest to you that the IRS is not California based. However,we are burdened with more red ink then most States as a result of being in the top 20 largest GNP's in the World.A little different then your State. IRS dictates that independant contractors(drivers,non employee status) much...

    If Your Gonna Do This

    In 6 years,I'm proud to say, never had 1 Democrat drive for me. I'm still touch with each and everyone of them,and they will all be family until I'm six feet under.

    My experience with this go's to the van line business. To be true to the letter of the IRS version of what constitutes an independant contractor,it's about 120 pages. I have one,and if I were to do a contract with drivers,it would be this one.Otherwise,a contract is not worth the paper it's...

    With all due respect,I give up.Uncle.See you at the ballot box. Your vision is worthy, and hopeful,and based on a pack of lies,but worthy never the less. I hope ,and pray, your right,and that the 50,000(conservative figure)Iraqi's(mostly civilians) who never asked to die,or be invaded,or live in...

    I pretty much pay all deadhead fuel unless it is specified in advance that this is a 100% personal need to get home.I will then do 50%. To be honest,I don't like the trucks sitting for more then 48 hours,so I eat alot of deadhead fuel.I'm pretty careful these days about coming west,but thoses...

    Right now,as a result of a misguieded Irag policy,our military is streched very thin,with National Guard troops doing 2 and 3 tours of duty.Our position as a super power is in dire jeapordy. I would hope the American people do not allow China to rule the World,either economcily or miltarly.It...

    Please explain to me why Russia is no longer labled a Communist country. In fact,it's because the Wesr decided when Putain opened up the markets and that old gunslinger Rony Raygun took credet for bringing down the wall,we just decided,OK,Russia is now a democracy.Labels in of themselves stand...
