Anyone can start a corporation. It just costs $48 - $89. Let's all start one.

If you have the money.

Someone with better information that I can figure out a way that this could really screw with the corporate donation supreme court decision.

Here is a link to just one of the legal companies that will file the papers for you. Maybe some lawyers could donate some time so we can all become corporations.

I am saying this because when I was a kid my parents had a corporation with nothing in it. I don't know if it is still viable but it was kind of cool at the time. I asked my mother how they did it and she said they paid a lawyer and that was it.

1. The problem is that corporations now get a vote for every dollar

(Or maybe one vote for every thousand dollars) And not one vote per corporation like we get one vote per person. So the big corporations get a shitload more votes than we could.

2. So if I start a corporation and use my home as a headquarters, I will

qualify for the 40% reduction in corporate real estate taxes that Gov. Braindead & the Rs are pushing here in Iowa. Sweet!

3. it would actually be an interesting political action to study the relevant law in one's locality

& get a bunch of people together & do just that.

6. Then you would have to live somewhere else.

If you're trying to do this legally, that is.

8. No. Not really.

I'll assume you're kidding, but if anyone thinks they can do this, look it up. I think you can only claim the portion of the property that is used solely for business purposes. If you don't really run a business, you'll eventually lose your deductions.

(I'm just a guy on the internet who thinks he knows what he's talking about. Take no action based on my posts)

9. You might get away with it for a few years. After a while, if you don't show a profit...

...the IRS will declare your operation a hobby rather than a business.

4. That price is just the documents (i.e. Articles of Incorporation, etc.).

The filing and registration fees vary from state to state (last time I worked on a corporate formation was in '94 or so in California, and the filing/registration fee was around $1,000).

5. You will have to file both corporate and individual income taxes.

Just so you know . . . .

7. Corporations pay taxes in America??? Pshaw.........
