uh..mr president..you do own a timber company...
Quote:
President Bush himself would have qualified as a "small business owner" under the Republican definition, based on his 2001 federal income tax returns. He reported $84 of business income from his part ownership of a timber-growing enterprise. However, 99.99% of Bush's total income came from other sources that year. (Bush also qualified as a "small business owner" in 2000 based on $314 of "business income," but not in 2002 and 2003 when he reported his timber income as "royalties" on a different tax schedule.)
(Oct 9; CORRECTION: What we originally reported as a "timber-growing" enterprise is actually described on Bush's tax return as an "oil and gas production" concern, the Lone Star Trust. We were confused because The Lone Star Trust currently owns 50% of another company, "LSTF, LLC", described on Bush?s 2003 financial disclosure forms as a limited-liability company organized "for the purpose of the production of trees for commercial sales." So, Bush does own part interest in a tree-growing company, but the $84 came from an oil and gas company and we should have reported it as such.)

Well, The whole thing is like, two millionaires slap fighting. My millionaire can beat YOUR millionaire? Like some Gundum Anime? Just for thought: If elected, Kerry will be the Richest President, Edwards the same, as VP. That seems weird for Kerry, as the big bulk of His wealth tends to come via sucking the bones dry from wealthy Women, then leaving them, and "Her" kid's in the dust. This wife, was bright enough to get a pre-nup the size of a phone book. I wonder? how it covers tragic death? I'm SURE it does!!

I just like how the URL is at www.fool.com Makes you wonder about the people that read and believe what they say.

I'm not even clicking the link and I'm betting that it's the Motley Fool group. They are real investors, you could do your own research though into the issue.

"part ownership", in this case, means owning stock. If you work for a company that has stock prices reduced for employees, and you buy 500 shars, you are TECHNICALLY "part owner". I don't think that you are able t o say that you "own" the company, however.
