My mom worked for the dreaded IRS for 30 years (and knew most of the IRS agents that had a plane run into their building in Austin recently) and doesn't pretend to scratch the surface of understanding the tax code.I would be all of drastically simplifying it so that I don't have to play all of the silly little games to hide income and reduce taxes.

But if they were ever forced to stop pretending that most of that has no value at all, they'd all be going into receivership.

Maybe there's some upside in another way (condo conversion, long term appreciation).When you see "proforma" read "pretend".

Furthermore, pretending to be something your not will GREATLY hurt your credibility.Honesty is ALWAYS the best policy.

You can't put a signature on an email, and anyone can send an email claiming to be anyone they want to pretend to be.If you get an agreement over the email, get a fax sent immediately for signature.

Well, Sarah Palin was just so devastating to McCain's campaign during the election that McCain has requested her help as he runs again to keep his senate seat.Remember how it was the open liberals and the denying liberals, pretending to be libertarians/constitutionalists/whigs/samurai/whatever, who kept trying to say Palin was the worst thing to happen to the McCain campaign.

I accept pets, but I have a bug up my *** about people who pretend that their pet is a service animal in order to claim special priveleges.

I am not foolish enough to pretend to know what will happen with any large degree of certainty.

But I would rather pretend I didn’t know any better and beg forgiveness if they got mad and said I couldn’t do it.

I'm not sure that Kyosaki even pretends to have made his fortune in real estate.Not sure what your area of expertise is, but I assure you if you are doing it and making six figures or more, there are a myriad of "secrets" you could teach someone who doesn't do what you do or know what you know AND that aren't readily available in the public domain.RIDICULOUS!
