Question: Shouldn’t Obama pay for enforcing immigration in Arizona instead of paying his lawyers to sue them?

It seems every time we turnaround Obama’s is paying his lawyer cronies back for election donations by finding them jobs. This time his gaggle of attorneys are hired to find angles how the federal government can sue a state government. Now we find out that in fact Obama is going to sue Arizona for passing their law enforcing illegal immigration.

I don’t know how many millions of dollars Obama is going to spend on suing Arizona, but it looks clear if New Orleans or Florida tries clean up the oil mess they might find themselves fighting Obama’s gang of lawyers being paid by our tax dollars just itching to sue them.

Answer: If you don’t like a law, then don’t obey it.

Isn’t that exactly what Obama is telling the American people?

And this is a Harvard graduate.

Is this what he teaches his two daughters?

The real problem with the liberals is almost all of them, holding public office, are lawyers.

No wonder people call them sharks.

The first thing out of their mouths is…sue, sue, sue.

Question: Is an injury lawsuit settlement amount taxable?

If someone was to settle (out of court) for an injury lawsuit, would the amount awarded (after the lawyers 30% cut and such was dispersed) to the person who was hurt be taxable by the IRS come tax time? In other words would the person have to pay Taxes to Uncle Sam on the amount of money he/she received from the lawsuit settlement? (this takes place in the United States for this example)
in response to deesnuts…does this apply to all states or does this vary state to state?…and yes this would apply to a physical injury case out of court settlement (if they settled before they went to trial…say to avoid court costs and additional legal fees)

Answer: tax free money=According to the tax code, the only damages you can enjoy tax-free are those that compensate you for physical injury or physical sickness. (26 U.S.C. § 104(a).) So if this describes your case, you will probably keep the cash safely away from the grip of the IRS.
tax free is just that TAX FREE. non economic loss, your lawyer 30% is taxed as income. yours is non economic loss not taxable ask your lawyer he or she should know for your state. p.s. don’t just blow the money. be smart. make it grow. don’t tell anybody what you have. good luck. p.s.s. looking @ your ? could not reply, Smartest investment : GOLD is your best bet. it’s better than paper money.

Question: Am I considered an independent contractor or an employee?

Ok I have a new question for ya’ll. I am considering the idea of hiring a attorney on a problem that I am having. The problem is that my boss calls us independent contractors, and pays non of our taxes. Instead we are suppossed to pay our taxes at the end of they year with a 1099 form and we dont get or use a w-2. The problem is that I think I am a employee and not an IC. He tells me when to be a work, where to do my work, how to do my work, and when to stop working. He provided a traing class for me and the others instructing us on how to do the job, the way he wanted it done. Now I thought that an IC gets to set their own schedule, doesnt work when they dont want to, and they are doing the job the way that they want to. He pays us with a buisness check, like cash, pays none of our taxes, such as social security, or federal, and he made us sign only one document at the time of hire. That was a document waiving our right to workmans comp. What do you all think? IC or employee in AZ?

Answer: IC all the way. Unless your contract/application was processed through the HR Dept. of the company and they “Welcomed” you to the company as a “Direct” hire then you are a Contract (1099) employee. The only reason you went through training and instructional programs was to familiarize you with their goals and wants. What would you do if it were your company???

When your boss did not withold any taxes throughout the year it should have been an awakening. You should have witheld your own taxes. Simply because you were negligent…don’t be stupid. You got bucks and need to pay some sort of bucks for taxes. Unfortunately I fell into this mess years ago. I got smart and made a lot of money being a 1099er. Learn the rules and play the game …. take them to the cleaners. Good luck! And I really mean this!!!
