    fannie Mae and freddi mac

    Millionaires to Buffett: Butt out on taxes

    TAXES | REGS 
    I do not like how people keep suggesting that paying more taxes will do anything to solve the financial troubles of our country.

    This is why I was thinking that I might be able to JV with the manufacturer and get him to supply the inventory and I would take care of the store/sales end.
