Attention shoppers. We now have taste in the bread aisle. Dave's Killer Bread. That's right. An organic bread that doesn't need three spoonfuls of Sriracha jam to delight your taste buds. Dave's Killer Bread is a 21 grain salute to the end of boring bread, a brand on a mission to make the most out of every loaf, to rid the world of GMOs and artificial ingredients, and plant the seeds of good in all that they bake. But Dave's Killer Bread has done more than raise the bar on bread. In fact, Dave's Killer Bread was built on the belief that second chances can change lives. When its founder, Dave, the guy with the guitar you see on every loaf, returned to the family bakery after fifteen years in prison, Dave took that chance and ended up creating what would become the country's number one organic bread while never forgetting his not so easy path. That's why at Dave's Killer Bread, they proudly practice second chance employment, hiring the best person for the job regardless of criminal background. And by the taste of it, things have worked out rather well. Dave's Killer Bread, Bread Amplified.

What does the blanks say about salary? Well, it says like this. Where do I read it? Read it carefully. Yeah. Salaries are income received from others consisting of wages, fees, commission bonuses, and other compensation for personal services, and if it's accrued and excessive exemption, and anyone around my face is it. How does that get in there? What what does it say What does it say about schedule a? Oh, schedule a. Yes. Schedule a. It says see paragraph five, schedule b. Well, what does that schedule b say? It says run around paragraph b and d toward paragraph seven. Look. Never mind. What does it say in paragraph seven? It says you won't give up,
[00:03:34] Unknown:
Oh.
[00:03:36] Unknown:
Let's go back to schedule let's go back to schedule a. Read it. Go ahead. Alright. Now schedule a says section four says yes. Total net short term capital gains enter as item 10. Count of five, upper six, lower seven, stick them up long range or affect your company. Can you cut out the silliness, Nutella? I'll answer this question. What what is your income? Oh, about 03:00 in the morning. No. No. No.
[00:04:01] Unknown:
I'm talking about your income less withholding tax.
[00:04:04] Unknown:
The answer to that is obvious. Obvious? Okay. I'll write the answer down. Go ahead. No. No. No. No. I better break the question up for you. Okay. What? After that, I've broken up. Will you do me a favor? Why? Throw it away. Look. Well, let's go on with the next question. Are you living with husband and wife? I have no wife, and I'm not living with my husband. Oh. Oh, you left them, Why did you do it? Because she was very mean to me and he'd take me over to heaven one of the tunes. I no. No. Wait. Wait a minute.

Remember, you can't you can't cheat or you'll deprive the government of money they need. What are you need for? Well, for instance, the government needs money to build bridges. Do you know why we have to have more bridges? Sure. To keep the taxpayers coming across. No. No. No. No. No. No. We need the money for public works. Like, for instance, the FHA. Do you know anything about the FHA? Is Is that anything like OB? What what is OB? That's PO spelled backwards. No. No. No. No. That sounds good. The FHA is the Federal Housing Administration.
Now suppose you wanted to build a house for $10,000 and you only had 7,000.
[00:05:21] Unknown:
What would you do? I owe your thing with $3,000 Well, there's no sense talking money with you. You don't even know the difference between capital and labor. Oh, yes. I do. If I owe you $10, that's capital. That's right. But when I try to get it back, that's labor.
[00:05:35] Unknown:
Now there you go again. Look. Here. I'll explain it to you. Capital is the useful expenditure that employs labor. For example, you go into a store and you spend a dollar. What do I buy? Well, now that look. That doesn't make any difference. It makes a difference to me. When I spend a dollar, I wanna know what I'm getting. I'm

No. I love it. I'm only trying to show you how money circulate. Suppose you spend a dollar. It it starts to circulate. 30¢ of your dollar might, wind up in the pocket of some man in New Hampshire. What's his name? What what's his name? That guy in New Hampshire just gripped me for 30¢. No. No. No. That's just an illustration. The man could be in Florida. How do you like that? Now he would sell my 30¢. Castello,

Where I can borrow a couple of bucks to live on. Oh, no. No. Why that's the silliest thing I ever heard of. Listen, Gastel. No matter how much taxes there are, the government always leaves you something. Oh, yeah. You know my girlfriend, Lina Gensler? Yes. Well, she walked in her tax office wearing a hat by Dache, a dress by Scaparrolli, and jewels by Tiffany. And when she got through paying her taxes What happened?
