He's not a nice man. He's been a mobster and a fraudster and if you're trusting him, well, you probably don't have very good sense. The point being made is not that we should trust him, but that there's nothing inh

Do you know what the effective tax rates were during those years? There was no "alternative minimum tax" to limit the abuse of deductions, which I believe hearing were rampant. (This isn't to say you are wrong, at all; just

Personally, I would think you are using miles incorrectly if you're getting a 1 cent value for them. It depends on the airline, but 1.5+ cents per mile is a more reasonable value. If you are flying intercontinental, to Alaska/Haw
