Obama Claims He Returned Illegal Contributions To Arabs..... Arabs Say He D
2008-08-06 23:24:00 Update on Obamas Illegal contributions from Gaza. From World Net Daily:Sen. Barack Obama's campaign contends it returned $33,500 in illegal contributions from Palestinians in Hamas-controlled Gaza, but the donors told WND today they have not received any money.The Wall Street Journal reported it spoke to Obama officials who said the donations from three Palestinian brothers were received between Sept. 20 and Dec. 6 last year, and virtually all of the money was returned by Dec. 6. The campaign said, however, the refunds were not reported to the Federal Election Commission due to a technical error.The Obama camp insisted the remaining $2,500 was refunded Monday and all of the refunds will be reflected soon in an amended report. The campaign said new controls are in place to prevent any similar attempts in the future.But WND asked two of the brothers ? Monir and Hasam Edwan ? to respond to the campaign's claims."No, we did not receive any money back from the Obama campaign at any tim...
World Net Daily: Obama Accepting Illegal Contributions From Gaza
2008-08-04 19:10:00 Looks like World Net Daily picked up on this story from Atlas and Debbie Schlussel. Hopefully Rush,Hannity and others will start talking about this. Apparently the men that made these donations to Obamas campaign claim they were buying t shirts. Whatever!JERUSALEM ? Palestinian brothers inside the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip are listed in government election filings as having donated $29,521.54 to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign.The donations would violate election laws, including prohibitions on receiving donations from foreigners and guidelines against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election, Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission, told WND in response to a query.The contributions also raise numerous questions about the Obama campaign's lax online donation form, which apparently allows for the possibility of foreign contributions.Last week, the Atlas Shrugs blog outlined a series of donations in 2007 made to Obama's campaign f...

Breaking News: RESP Contributions To Become Tax Deductible?
2008-03-07 04:16:00 Thanks to reader Nicolas for providing a gentle nudge to write a post on a private members' bill that was passed last night that would allow Canadians to deduct contributions to RESP plans (Registered Education Savings Plans). The bill (which is not final), proposes that contributions up to $5,000 per year (and up to a lifetime maximum of $50,000) be deductible from the contributor's income.I have not found anything that indicates whether the CESG (Canadian Education Savings Grant) would still be awarded but my guess is that since there is stiff opposition to this bill (from the Conservative Party), the grant would be eliminated. Fingers crossed for both though! :)For an Ontarian in the highest tax bracket, an annual $5,000 contribution to an RESP would yield $2,320.50 in tax savings. Also, this program could be of benefit to older Canadians as it would provide an incentive to go back to school. Currently, the CESG is not available for adult Canadians themselves (only childr...

Angry homebuilders halt Congressional contributions

You can make Spousal RRSP Contributions after Age 71
2007-12-27 07:25:00 It is still possible to make RRSP contributions after the year in which you turn 71 - just not to your OWN RRSP. If you have a spouse or common-law partner who is younger than you, then you can contribute to a Spousal RRSP set up in their name. This allows you to claim a deduction on your tax return and reduce your tax bill.Click here to read about Spousal RRSP's in more detail. There are a few catches of course. You must have RRSP contribution room in order to make an RRSP or a Spousal RRSP contribution - and this is generally harder and harder to come by when you are over 71 as you are most likely retired by now. BUT - so long as you generate EARNED income, you generate RRSP contribution room. So, if you work as a part-time consultant and earn salary, commission, etc., then you can generate RRSP contribution room - even in retirement.To sum it up: you can still generate RRSP contribution room after you turn 71 - you just can't use that contribution room to contribute to you...

Big Oil, Contributions, and the Senators who Vote…
2007-12-15 16:50:00 nwf.org: 12/13 - “Today the Senate passed an energy bill that helps reduce America’s oil dependency and takes an important step toward reducing global warming pollution. Unfortunately, the bill does not close $13 billion worth of tax loopholes and subsidies for the oil industry and reinvest the money in clean and renewable energy technologies. Earlier in the day, 40 Senators blocked the bill, forcing Senate leaders to jettison the tax provisions. “Oil companies have given $8 million to Senators over the past four years. Today’s action by 40 Senators proved they have gotten their money’s worth: $1,600 in tax breaks for every dollar the oil industry has spent in campaign contributions. For a breakdown of oil and gas company contributions to senators who blocked a measure to rollback oil company giveaways, see related documents. “We applaud the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who pressed several times for more comprehensive clean energy measures...

Making Regular Contributions to your RRSP instead of RRSP Loans
2007-11-30 02:41:00 Many people ask their RRSP issuer to take money directly from their bank accounts the day after they have their pay cheques deposited. On the other hand, there are droves of people who take out a loan every February to make their lump sum contribution before the deadline - only to have to make monthly payments on their RRSP loan until the following year.If you have the ability to get out of the rut of annual RRSP loans - there are a couple of advantages. BUT with our society being more disposed to financing everything as opposed to saving for everything, sometimes the only way to get people to save is to get the RRSP loan. Making a mortgage payment or car loan payment usually takes priority over savings since there are no immediate and potentially crippling consequences to not making a monthly savings contribution like there is with missing a loan payment.Opportunity Cost If you can commit to making your savings automatic, one immediate gain is that you won't have interest to ...

Many Employers will MATCH your Charitable Contributions - all you have to d
2007-10-19 16:21:00 If you happen to work for a very large company, chances are they have a program where they will match employee contributions to charitable donations dollar for dollar. So in other words you could double the amount of money going to your favourite charities!It's one of those things where when you hear about it you think, "Hey, that's a great idea!" but then it gets filed away and forgotten. More often than not, when a company newsletter comes around reminding you of the program you think about the $20 or $50 you've given to charity and how you forgot to take advantage of the free-matching! You probably say to yourself, "I'll remember for next time!" and then next time comes, and you forget again? I certainly fall into that boat.So here's my suggestion: Send an email to your HR person to ask two things. 1) Is there a charitable donation employer-matching program available? (if you don't know) 2) Ask if you can get 2 copies of the form. Even if you don't need...
