Gamka -we've got it

" It's morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep his money."   --------  W. C. Fields   

June  2011
Greetings!

It is agreed in many camps that a wholesale revision of our tax codes would be fairer to all and could reduce or eliminate the complexity of the system, not to mention doing the same to the IRS. Will Rogers said, "The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has." Tax avoidance is almost a national sport. That is wrong. Living in the USA is a privilege worth paying for, at least something! 

            In his inaugural address, January 20, 1961, John F. Kennedy said, "And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

            This is a good time to ask that again. I find it astounding and confounding to read that nearly 50% of Federal Tax Filers have zero or negative tax liability. It also ticks me off.  They pay NO income taxes, some even get monetary rebates. They have NO skin in the game. The other half, us, is carrying them and you don't hear any complaints from them, either.

When JFK spoke to the nation in 1961, it was only 20 % of the tax filers who were in that position; owing zero or getting money back. That 20% sure looks good now. 

Percent of Tax Returns with Zero Tax Liability

According to the Tax Foundation (www.taxfoundation.org), "Federal tax reform requires that the base of the federal income tax be widened, so that overall tax rates can be reduced. However, because of the large number of Americans currently paying zero federal income tax, any attempt to broaden the tax base will be a difficult sell for lawmakers. The millions of Americans who have no federal income tax liability will either be indifferent about tax reform or will positively oppose it, as it would require bringing them into the federal tax base." Piling more taxes on the "rich" is not the reform needed, the free ride needs to go.  

The more entitlements there are, the more people want. The world doesn't owe anyone a living but many seem to think so. What if those of us who do pay taxes, and a disproportionate share at that, decided to say the hell with it? What then?

Fifty years ago John F. Kennedy said, "And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." It is even a better question today.

Buy Online at Gamka June 15th!

Coming June 15th, placing orders at Gamka will be possible anytime, night or day, on holidays, on weekends, and with BIG SAVINGS 24/7!  Yes, Online Shoppers will be able to reserve items inventoried at Gamka World HQ by entering their requirements into our system with contact information to create a priced sales requisition at Gamka. The very next working day, a Gamka Sales Representative will contact the listed purchaser to confirm availability, if it is to be picked up or shipped and to determine the method of payment; credit card, check or cash upon shipment. Then, off goes your order, simple, yes? Where do the extra savings over Gamka's already great prices come in? Two cost savers. One: because Gamka is not involved in the selection of goods, the buyer does the legwork labor and, two: because payment with the order, up front, takes Gamka out of the banking business. We certainly do not have to explain to contractors about the cost of carrying open balances for weeks and months, so the Gamka Online Sales Policy is Buy Online, Pay Now and reap the benefits Gamka enjoys from COD sales.

            How will you buy on line from Gamka? Just go to www.gamka.com and click on the red circle that says Buy Online and you will be transported to the Online Order Department. Simply fill in the contact  information on you and your company with the the shipping address and choose what you wish to purchase. You will be able to SEARCH too. Fill in your needs and then wait for that call from a Gamka Sales person on the next working day! As of this writing (it is still May) we do anticipate that we may not have all 46,000 equipment and supply line items and 12,000 parts up and running. While we get up to speed we expect to walk before we run. Initially our offerings may be a bit limited but hopefully glitch free. If you don't see what you want or have an application question, just e-mail [email protected] and ask, it could be under a name unfamiliar to you.  

            So mark your calendars for June 15, 2011 and Buy Online at Gamka, 24/7. Or call Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm to do business as usual. Either way, we are here to serve!
