The world has changed, and I am appalled. No wonder people can't afford anything. Back in my days of being an independent musician I deducted these things from my income tax form as business expenses from the money I charged as fees, usually ending with no profit on which to pay taxes. I never dreamed of charging customers for my own business expenses. I thought these were deductions to subtract from what I earned. Now people are terying to charge the client, the customer and the student for expenses of running a private business. So now the ethic seems to overchargwe the customer for one's own business expenses and don't bother with submitting expenses to the IRS. I can't believe that our nation has become so greedy as to overcharge others for ones own business expenses. Shock! >vacation time >convention costs >insurance costs >auto expenses >office and work space >new tools >...etc... America - the land of greed! Rev. Peggy C.
