Personal finance blogger Mrs. Micah unleashed a mammoth list of 2009 tax deductions on her blog, Finance for a Freelance Life.
Here's her snippet on un-reimbursed busines expenses:
If your company made you fly somewhere & didn’t reimburse you, you can deduct it. Laundry and dry-cleaning you had to do while on a business trip—deductible. 50% deduction of an unreimbursed business meal. This has to be done in the itemized deduction section and must reach 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), as must the business use of a car deductions above. For more info on deducting unreimbursed business expenses see the pertinent IRS page.
These deductions make Tax Cat purr. Which are you most excited about using when it comes time to start plugging away at this year's tax return?
Mammoth 2009 Tax Credit and Deduction List [Finance for a Freelance Life]
I’m pretty sure that they said that the second amendment said that the right of “bearing arms for a lawful purpose…shall not be infringed by Congress”. And the difference between Cruikshank and Heller was that in Heller it was in fact Congress doing the infringing, not some mob.
I went back and read the opinion (cheating, I know). I think both of us are right, though my initial wording was imprecise. Here’s the relevant language:
“The general charge in the first eight counts is that of “banding,” and in the second eight that of “conspiring” together to injure, oppress, threaten, and intimidate Levi Nelson and Alexander Tillman, citizens of the United States, of African descent and persons of color, with the intent thereby to hinder and prevent them in their free exercise and enjoyment of rights and privileges “granted and secured” to them “in common with all other good citizens of the United States by the Constitution and laws of the United States.”
***
The second and tenth counts are equally defective. The right there specified is that of “bearing arms for a lawful purpose.” This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed, but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress. This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government, leaving the people to look for their protection against any violation by their fellow citizens of the rights it recognizes…”
