1. PSAs are tax deductable

"The representative said it was a "Public Service Announcement" "


I'd be very interested in finding out whether the US taxpayers subsidized the "Glorious Leader" billboards through ClearChannel's tax write-offs.

Disgusting, but not surprising.

2. Isn't a company allowed $2,000 in political contributions?

Or how much are they allowed in a tax break? I know the $2,000 does not include contributions to the DNC etc.

3. Putting two and two together...

Why am I not surprised?

Bush urges tax credit for home builders

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - President Bush said a surging real estate market could be enhanced even further if Congress passes a tax credit aimed at encouraging homebuilders to target middle class families.

"To boost housing sales even more, Congress needs to pass my single-family homeownership tax credit," Bush told a meeting of the National Association of Realtors on Friday.

Bush said the credit would increase the supply of affordable single-family homes by as many as 50,000 each, with the aim of increasing the supply of affordable homes by 7 million over the next 10 years.

The proposal would grant a tax credit to firms that build affordable housing and sell it to middle-class buyers. The credit would cost around $2.5 billion over five years.

Some policymakers are weighing whether the housing market could be showing signs of speculation that marks an investment bubble.
