All true. But here, the corporation (most are incorporated) is passed down
thru the family.
I was office manager for a corporate farm before I took my present retard
job. EVERYTHING -- almost down to the purchase of toilet paper -- was
charged against the corporation and was a tax write-off.

every commodity price is going through the roof. are they still telling us
there is no inflation or that lie has perhaps gone out the window?

counting that is a more important measure than those?

and let's not forget about adding in what you're supposed to be paying
in Road Taxes for veggie oil that you use as fuel on public roads,...
makes it look even *less* attractive!
commercial BioD just went over $4/G here locally; still makes for a
better deal (and that's with all taxes
