I have no tax dealings with Thailand, other than them refusing to grant me a TIN when I applied for such.  Decades ago, I have had Canadian tax advisor/account mess up my Canadian tax return so badly, I was audited. That was painful. A big lesson learned. Instead of saving me an evening by doing my tax return myself (which in hindsight I should have done), it cost me many nights &amp; hours sorting the mess with the tax department, and hours with the tax advisor/accountant (they delegated my return to a junior person in the office who f*cked it up royally), and resulted in me paying some extra money in interest to the Revenue department, and still resulted in me paying the fee to a tax advisor/accountant, which IMHO was totally undeserved given the f*cked up return they submitted had me audited.  Frankly while one would hope for such companies, that all is based on dealings with a tax office/officers, but having been burned in a different country, I am from Missouri in terms of said expertise. That is not always the case. I think there is a risk of tax expert marketing of their services, that may overplay the actual expertise.  Still ... having typed that negative view - I hope that in fact my doom and gloom view is wrong there - I did well in Germany with tax advisor/accountant - and I send my very best wishes to all who decide to pay a tax advisor/accountant and I hope it works for you.    Indeed .]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:29:54 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Reform Winning.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395832-reform-winning/?do=findComment&comment=20534209]]></link><description>Well wait and see if Reform do as they have promissed.

I'm one of those who know such things do not need a creator. All that is required is mutation, which is a natural phenomenon of the physical world, and that adaptation, or as Darwin called in, selecting in, allows something to survive and propagate.  Any of the fantasy deities man created seem to be both woefully inefficient as well as possessing the worst qualities of humans.  Such a deity or deities, apparently bored out of their minds from minus eternity until -13.8 billion years ago, supposedly manufactured 2,000,000,000,000 galaxies, each with 500 billion to 1 trillion stars, most of which have planets, just so that on one planet orbiting one star in one galaxy life could evolve so that eventually there would be sentient beings who would tell said deity or deities just how great it was and thank it or them for everything from a cheeseburger to a local team's basketball victory.  Now if birds were born with a Garmin GPS, maybe I could see the chance of a creator, but adaptation is not proof of anything. The religious will try to argue that giraffes were "given" long necks to reach the highest leaves, whereas rational people will say giraffes with long necks survived and propagated, passing their genes for long necks in to their offspring.  But if belief gives you comfort, have at it.</description><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:07:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>"We're on to this game and its gonna stop", Medicare fraud,news</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395895-were-on-to-this-game-and-its-gonna-stop-medicare-fraudnews/?do=findComment&comment=20534203]]></link><description>More fraud news in Newsom's  California.

The French were rioting in the streets because the pension age was increased to a year less than the UK retirement age used to be. What did the British do, nothing. And I bet the French pension is more generous than the UK one. So how do the French achieve it? Don't believe a word the UK Government says. Higher retirement age than France and before long means tested so you wont even get a pension despite paying NICs.</description><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 15:44:43 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Sikh Killer&#x2019;s Racist Lie Left Dying Student In Handcuffs</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395890-sikh-killers-racist-lie-left-dying-student-in-handcuffs/?do=findComment&comment=20534197]]></link><description>Of course he should have been arrested.
