Can't you claim bona fide resident status?

i'm not sure- that's my question! i don't really understand what qualifies someone to be that!?

I already asked you : What visa are you on?

After you answer that maybe we can help.

Can't you claim bona fide resident status?

If yes you merely pay normal income tax on your USA earnings. After all as you've said it a temporary posting.

The physical presence test is a bad way to go - in my experience. It's fine for the first year. (partial year). What visa are you on?

I know I haven't answered all your questions - just giving you something to think about.

nobama doesn't want the public private partnership to work. He's for nationalizing the banks. And everything else.

Just found out today that the Pirelli dealer down the street has tires to fit my CB400.

Sport something. 3000 baht for the rear & 2200 for the front.

Holy Krap.

I'm not so sure that you could allow them to fail, but I think that you could allow them to go into some form of receivership and for their shareholder's to lose their investment. The government could run them while under receivership if they wanted, but why preserve the shareholder's investment at the expense of the taxpayer's?

Wrong. You don't want the government running anything.

Remember Amtrak?

Run them through debtor in posession financing - a prepackaged bankruptcy. And that stupid GM & Chrysler which is owned by a hedge fund Cerberis Capital or whatever it's called.

Unions be damned.

"Obama's Bank Rescue Measures And Us Recovery, Will they work? When will the US economy recover?"

Here's the fault with this approach.

Unsucessful banks need to be killed off not saved.

We have the FDIC to protect depositors.

A.I.G. ditto - receivership. END OF PROBLEM

Bush equally to blame as the current prop.

Congratulations on your promotion.

Alex. I wish we had him under oath saying "I will veto the first spending bill to cross my desk containg earmarks".

If we had him under oath then impeachment hearings would already be underway.

As it stands that was just a lie told to get himself elected.

Is that a problem?

Ok let me repeat. Beyond wanting this charlatan to fail; His phony "stimulus" is a pork laden payoff to the libs that got him elected.

It is intended to install his marxist policies.

I shall post here for as long as I wish too. You & nogood nobama don't dictate to me. Got it?

Alex I like you already.

Trying to remember if the first Stimulus under President Bush was overseen by Treasury or the Federal Reserve - which is about as Federal as Federal Express. I do seem to remember it was overseen by Henry Paulsen. No matter. It disappeared down a rathole.

Another day - this loser nobama wants to spend another trillion.

You say that like socialism is a bad thing. Socialism has worked out pretty well for Europe, has it not?

Not in the least.

It pays people to sit home & do nothing. In other words parasites do well under socialism. Collectivism. Poverty & misery for all.

What policies are socialist?

Serious question.

All of his policies are socialist. 100% Serious.

The one time this cretin didn't lie was when he slipped up & told Joe the Plummer he was all about wealth re-distribution.

Now I've given you a clue. Study what the marxist says in his speeches. He is the greatest ally to unions since FDR. He wants to funnel millions to ACORN for their nefarious purposes.

We got here through borrowing & leverage. (& a lack of oversight).

What's nobama's solution?

Place future generations into debt to the tune of trillions of dollars; use leverage & then lie about cutting the debt in 1/2. LOL. Haji we are onto to you.

Hey t.s. What part of town do you live?

Sefton. Did you find the odd sized 16 inch front you needed? Cheers.

Back to the topic:

What the actual situation in Pattaya? I am waiting for my book transfer through a dealer but he tells me all is delayed because each book will be checked carefully. So there is a long queue.....

Anybody knows more?

I never had an issue with my bike when I get fined with 1,000 Baht (paid at the police station) because my bike was too loud. No way to close the deal with direct payment of 200 - 300 Baht and I even tried to explain the guy that I was not sitting on a Honda Wave.....

Why not tell us what bike you are buying? New or used? Did the dealer give you a red plate to use in the meantime?

There is a case to be made for just parking the bike up till the boom & plate arrive. Or you could be like Andrew & just ride it & pay the fines. LOL. He is a life member at ThongLor police.

Never heard of any agency handling credit card applications before, i always thought you just send your application to the bank...

Would be so much better to walk into the bank's lobby & ask for customer service.

How do you know they are Thai drivers? Do you stop them and ask for their identity card?

Your reading skills leave a lot to be desired. Try reading the OP again 500 times SLOWLY.

I don't know why they don't remove all their tailight bulbs to "save electric". Brake lights? who needs em?

I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat and am sympathetic to neither. I see very little involvement by any presidents in this global financial crisis. Whether it be Clinton, Bush, or Obama. All have done just as they have been instructed by their "handlers", the Fed Chairman and Treasury officials of their time. THOSE persons, the Rubins, the Paulsons, the Greenspans, the Geithners and dozens of other lesser Goldman Sachs operatives are the chief architects of this fiasco and are the "go to" guys for cleaning up the mess.

That these stimulus measures are going to be gamed by the banks and hedge funds to the tune of umpteen trillions goes without saying at this point. The only thing I would hold Obama personally responsible for is that he didn't shut down his congress from loading the spending bills with hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars worth of superfluous pork.

well spotted lannarebirth. This video explains what you are saying:

Follow the money. Who is the fed? Whose money do they use?

Bulldozer. Clear the land & make it level. Maybe raise it 50 cm.

Pay the guy to disappear.

I would make the vendors pick up trash every morning at 6 am if they want to hawk their junk. Been to Samet many times - it's a lot cleaner than most beaches.

OK, another sticker/mudflap question, who is the guy with the beard? Looks like Al Pacino in Serpico?

Bingo. Al Pacino as Jesus Christ.

Nobody knows whether it will work or not. However, some of you who hate Obama are hoping it does not work. American left wingers opposed the invasion of Iraq but we did NOT want America to lose the war. Yet American right wingers cheer for the failure of Obama's fight to save our economy (and in many ways the global economy). Traitors.

nobama is spending trillions. He calls it stimulus. Because he is a liar. He is spending trillions on his socialist agenda.

That have outlawed terms like war or terror & terrorist. They are weak on homeland security.

They are all about amnesty & other left wing causes. Abortion on demand etc. Eric Holder said we might have to release some gitmo detainess into the USA. What a good idea!!!!!
