Who’s Scoffing Now?
by David Galland, Managing Editor, The Casey Report
A couple weeks ago, the family and I watched Dirty Jobs, an altogether entertaining show from the Discovery Channel. In the episode we watched the host, Mike Rowe, serve as a mechanic in the military. There were a couple of things that caught my eye.
The first was that, using nothing more than a cleverly arranged array of blocks and tackle, five members of the mechanics group were able to easily muscle a well-stuck 5-ton Humvee from deep sand. We humans are, indeed, a creative and intelligent species.
The second thing was the strict adherence to protocol, with everyone acting almost robotic in their issuance of commands and responses, and surgical in their use of equipment. Even so, this slavish adherence to “the book” is understandable, given that the soldiers operate in extremely difficult, dangerous, and often chaotic circumstances.
A Battle Royal in the S&P 500
The battle between the bulls and the bears continues in the S&P 500 with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

Disposable Income
Every day we are exposed to television programs and magazine articles showing us how successful people live. Magnificent homes, flashy cars and wardrobes bigger than some homes packed full of designer clothing are portrayed as the measure of success. We not only admire them, we strive to be like them.

Tax Laws for Federal Inheritance
When an individual passes on, the federal government imposes an estate tax. This estate tax only applies to estate properties that are over one million fifty thousand dollars.
The federal government is still likely to tax an estate even if all or a portion of the estate is being handed down to other family members. Instead of imposing an estate tax in this situation, there many states that impose an inheritance tax.
An inheritance tax is also commonly referred to as a death tax because it is a tax that is imposed on all estate money and property after an estate owner passes away and leaves their estate or a portion of their estate to another person.
States that currently collect a tax on inherited estate money or property are Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Oregon, New York, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Iowa. Read the rest of this entry »
