14. Excellent program
If you missed it, catch it the second run. I, along with most people, have a different vision of what "small business" is; rather than a technical term of organization for the tax code.

2. Shocked is an understatement. Disgusted is a guarantee.
It is past time to throw out the tax books/rules and start over with a clean slate.

5. Maybe I can walk down to the corner and get a job at that small company called....
Bechtel.

They sound like such a nice sweet small Mom & Pop operation!
That would be a great job.

10. I'm sending Keith an email, thanking him for this wonderful program.
We need more and more of these. We know the terms, we just don't know all the details not only on the tax issue, but many others.

Keith and Rachel are doing a great job of helping us understand a lot of things we didn't know before.
