Don't blame American seniors for the government's inability to control fraud and waste which is what is driving up costs.

The young have not yet earned the right to bully American senior citizens so until then, please get a job. The Amish are hard workers so that be a new idea.

By the way, thanks for the montly check!
Well Said.

Eh, that door is closed to me. IIRC after about five years the no profit model businesses run the risk of being classified as a "hobby" by the IRS and they come after you for back deductions, be careful.

It will not be a problem.

I spend a lot on equipment.....the IRS loves that.....I have been though two audits.

What they are looking for is a "intent" to make a profit.

My depreciation is what saves me....plus we only drill about seven months a year.

I doubt the Amish would be open to you just walking in and joining.

I don't know what the IRS would do.

I do know that I'm for ANYTHING that deprives the government of money.

Lie on a return and you will be charged with a felony.

I agree, but there are somethings you can do within the system that helps but to lie will do nothing but make your life a Hell.

Please. I am not advocating dishonesty.

But if we could exempt ourselves from taxes based on conscience, I'm all for it.
