Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor by Krayton Kerns, DVM, State Rep. HD 58

Eat Up A horse’s love of grain and a dog’s love of chocolate demonstrate where the absence of self-restraint can have fatal consequences. My most challenging horse / grain overload case involved a group of brood mares discovered to have gained access to the open door of a grain bin full of freshly harvested wheat. The key to a successful recovery is the early administration of mineral oil, activated charcoal, and antiinflammatories, but our problem was deciding which of the twenty or so mares had actually eaten toxic levels of wheat. There was a chance the mares discovered the open door mere minutes prior to the owner spotting it, so the question became “do we feel lucky?” We didn’t. I picked up twenty gallons of mineral oil from the local veterinary supply store on my way to the wheat farm. We caught, twitched and snaked a nasogastric tube up the nose and down into the stomach of each mare and pumped in a gallon of oil mixed with charcoal. This was not as fun as it sounds. Other than passing black, oily, horse apples for a day or two, no mare ever got sick, so we will never know if their recovery was because of us or in spite of us. My chocolate eating dog is a horse of a different color. It was the Christmas season when the owner brought her little Cocker Spaniel to our clinic after discovering the dog had polished off four pounds of homemade fudge. The dog was vomiting, convulsing and its heart was hammering along at over 250 beats per minute. Looking back over 30 years of practice, this little dog still owns the number one slot as the sickest creature admitted to the clinic who eventually recovered enough to exit the front

door. Every patient scoring higher on the sick-dog scale, left the hospital via the back door—a euphemism for assuming room temperature which is a euphemism meaning the dog died. This brings me to my point. There is a third species continuously poisoned by this same fatal absence of self-restraint, but rather than wheat and chocolate, their addiction is dollars. Politicians have purposely built their massive empire around money; its confiscation and redistribution. As long as the ruling class steals from the few to give to the many, the masses worship them as champions of the poor. The poverty class plays along never realizing government programs are purposely planned not to help them out of the economic gutter, but to keep them there. For the ruling class to be a hero they need a victim and trinkets such as extended unemployment, food stamps, student loans and Obamacare produces a permanent supply of the downtrodden. I never will understand why free Americans chose to be played as the fool, but they always have and maybe always will. This subject grabs my attention this week because recent reports reveal record revenues filled the US Treasury

during the first five months of fiscal 2014. In the face of an administration attempting to enslave our economy in a socialist quagmire, this is testament to the power of capitalism, free-markets and limited government. Even when the ruling class tries to choke freedom, liberty ultimately prevails. ollecting 1.1 trillion dollars surpasses the previous record of 1.07 trillion set in the first five months of fiscal 2007. Reflexively this sounds good, but it could be bad and here is why. Unlimited dollars in the hands of a politician is as dangerous as grain bins full of wheat to a horse and bowls of fudge to a dog—the ruling class will spend until you die. Even worse, the euphoria of giving away free stuff is so addctive, elected officials will not stop when they run out of money. In the face of these record revenues during these five months, Congress added .377 trillion to the national debt. In 2007 our national debt was 9 trillion dollars while today it is passing through 16.7 trillion on its way to infinity. Congress does not have a revenue problem, they have a spending problem and it will continue until voters lock the granary door or pick up the bowl of fudge. Every candidate promising freestuff under the income inequality banner must be defeated.

All AbouT IRAS

An individual retirement arrangement (IRA) is a personal retirement savings plan that offers specific tax benefits. In fact, IRAs are one of the most powerful retirement savings tools available to you. Even if you’re contributing to a 401(k) or other plan at work, you should also consider investing in an IRA. What types of IRAs are available? There are two major types of IRAs: traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Both allow you to make annual contributions of up to $5,500 in 2014 (unchanged from 2013). Generally, you must have at least as much taxable compensation as the amount of your IRA contribution. But if you are married filing jointly, your spouse can also contribute to an IRA, even if he or she does not have taxable compensation. The law also allows taxpayers age 50 and older to make additional “catch-up” contributions. These folks can put up to $6,500 in their IRAs in 2014 (unchanged from 2013). Both traditional and Roth IRAs feature tax-sheltered growth of earnings. And both give you a wide range of investment choices. However, there are important differences between these two types of IRAs. You must understand these differences before you can choose the type of IRA that’s best for you. Traditional IRAs Practically anyone can open and contribute to a traditional IRA. The only requirements are that you must have taxable compensation and be under age 70½. You can contribute the maximum allowed each year as long as your taxable compensation for the year is at least that amount. If your taxable compensation for the year is below the maximum contribution allowed, you can contribute only up to the amount you earned. Your contributions to a traditional IRA may be tax deductible on your federal income tax return. This is important because tax-deductible (pretax) contributions lower your taxable income for the year, saving you money in taxes. If neither you nor your spouse is covered by a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan, you can generally deduct the full amount of your annual contribution. If one of you is covered by such a plan, your ability to deduct your contributions depends on your annual income (modified adjusted gross income, or MAGI) and your income tax filing status. You may qualify for a full deduction, a partial deduction, or no deduction at all. What happens when you start taking money from your traditional IRA? Any portion of a distribution that represents deductible contributions is subject to income tax because those contributions were not taxed when you made them. Any portion that represents investment earnings is also subject to income tax because those earnings were not previously taxed either. Only the portion that represents nondeductible, after-tax contributions (if any) is not subject to income tax. In addition to income tax, you may have to pay a 10% early withdrawal penalty if you’re under age 59½, unless you meet one of the exceptions.

* If you’re not covered by an employer plan, but your spouse is, your deduction is limited if your MAGI is $181,000 to $191,000, and eliminated if your MAGI exceeds $191,000. If you wish to defer taxes, you can leave your funds in the traditional IRA, but only until April 1 of the year following the year you reach age 70½. That’s when you have to take your first required minimum distribution from the IRA. After that, you must take a distribution by the end of every calendar year until your funds are exhausted or you die. The annual distribution amounts are based on a standard

life expectancy table. You can always withdraw more than you’re required to in any year. However, if you withdraw less, you’ll be hit with a 50% penalty on the difference between the required minimum and the amount you actually withdrew. Roth IRAs Not everyone can set up a Roth IRA. Even if you can, you may not qualify to take full advantage of it. The first requirement is that you must have taxable compensation. If your taxable compensation is at least $5,500 in 2014 (unchanged from 2013), you may be able to contribute the full amount. But it gets more complicated. Your ability to contribute to a Roth IRA in any year depends on your MAGI and your income tax filing status. Your allowable contribution may be less than the maximum possible, or nothing at all.

Your contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax deductible. You can invest only after-tax dollars in a Roth IRA. The good news is that, if you meet certain conditions, your withdrawals from a Roth IRA will be completely free from federal income tax, including both contributions and investment earnings. To be eligible for these qualifying distributions, you must meet a five-year holding period requirement. In addition, one of the following must apply: • You have reached age 59½ by the time of the withdrawal • The withdrawal is made because of disability • The withdrawal is made to pay first-time homebuyer expenses ($10,000 lifetime limit from all IRAs) • The withdrawal is made by your beneficiary or estate after your death Qualified distributions will also avoid the 10% early withdrawal penalty. This ability to withdraw your funds with no taxes or penalty is a key strength of the Roth IRA. And remember, even nonqualified distributions will be taxed (and possibly penalized) only on the investment earnings portion of the distribution, and then only to the extent that your distribution exceeds the total amount of all contributions that you have made. Another advantage of the Roth IRA is that there are no required distributions after age 70½ or at any time during your life. You can put off taking distributions until you really need the income. Or, you can leave the entire balance to your beneficiary without ever taking a single distribution. Also, as long as you have taxable compensation and qualify, you can keep contributing to a Roth IRA after age 70½. Choose the right IRA for you Assuming you qualify to use both, which type of IRA is best for you? Sometimes the choice is easy. The Roth IRA will probably be a more effective tool if you don’t qualify for tax-deductible contributions to a traditional IRA. However, if you can deduct your traditional IRA contributions, the choice is more difficult. Most professionals believe that a Roth IRA will still give you more bang for your dollars in the long run, but it depends on your personal goals and circumstances. The Roth IRA may very well make more sense if you want to minimize taxes during retirement and preserve assets for your beneficiaries. But a traditional deductible IRA may be a better tool if you want to lower your yearly tax bill while you’re still working (and probably in a higher tax bracket than you’ll be in after you retire). A financial professional or tax advisor can help you pick the right type of IRA for you. Note: You can have both a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA, but your total annual contribution to all of the IRAs that you own cannot be more than $5,500 in 2014 ($6,500 if you’re age 50 or older).

WRONG ADDRESS A Colorado couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Colorado and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day. The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the e-mail. Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband’s funeral. He was a Baptist minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her e-mail expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow’s son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read: To: My Loving Wife Subject: I’ve Arrived Date: March 21, 2014 I know you’re surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I’ve just arrived and have been checked in. I’ve seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was. P. S. SURE IS FREAKING HOT DOWN HERE!
