Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I got a quick question about how LLC companies are taxed. Do the companies get taxed on the total income or the total profit? For example lets say
$0-50k = 15% taxes and
51k-$100k = 25% taxes to keep things simple.
Now lets say my companies sources of income are as follows for a given year.
Affiliate Income = $70,000
Product Sales = $10,000
Advertising = $5,000
So the total money that has went into the company is $85,000 for the year, but from that $70k from affiliate income the actual profit is only $20k as we give back around 70% of our affiliate income for referring users to other sites & services back to the users in form of cash and prizes.
So the actual income is $35k and lets say after fees like ( licences, maintenance, employees ect) are paid the net profit of the firm is $25,000 for the year. So do i pay 15% of 25k in taxes or 25% of 80k in taxes?

I live in Orlando, FL and am going to be starting at Orlando Tech soon to study 3D animation. Orlando Tech is a votech school run by Orange County Public Schools. The course is 10 months, and the say average starting salary is $17-$27 per hr
I have friends who attended Orlando Tech (different programs though) and they said everybody who goes there never gets a job in the field they study. I find this a bit discouraging
Others have told me 3d animation is a “niche” market and job prospects aren’t very good, this is discouraging too. Does anybody know what kind of outlook I’d have in this field and is the $17-$27 an hr starting figure realistic?

If religious organizations want to be free of government regulation, why do they cooperate in government payments to carry out their mission?
If the mission of a religious (Catholic) hospital is to provide care for the poor and indigent, why don’t they do that WITHOUT government subsidy?
What kind of double-standard does it take to insist they don’t have to follow government regulations as employers based on their “conscience”, but still bill the government for providing the service their “conscience” tells them to?
All opinions welcomed.

Romney and Paul are the only two GOP contenders that have polled within the margin of error against Obama in multiple polls. What’s interesting is that Obama’s support drops from 47 to 42 when the contender is Paul instead of Romney (meaning Paul vs. Obama could be a much more volatile race).
Unlike Romney, Paul does not have popular support within the Republican party. However, even Rasmussen admits Paul is the strongest GOP candidate with non-affiliated voters BY A LOT.
I mean if Obama’s support drops all the way down to almost 40 in a head to head with Paul, wouldn’t it be worth a third party run (assuming the president’s approval rating is sub 40 and Mitt Romney is still being uninspiring)? The winner would only need about 37% of the popular vote to win.http://www.marketwatch.com/story/ron-pau…
“Paul currently does best of the four [Republican candidates] among voters not affiliated with either of the major political parties”

I have roughly about 7 keywords I would like to rank for, I have checked all with exact search on google keyword tool, they all say low competition, and all 7 keywords only get searched about 40 times each per month.
My domain is 2 worded and contains parts of both keywords.
If I set up a blog, how easy should it be to rank for these, its very niche, and how would I best go ranking for each keyword, like would a quality 1000 word article on each be enough.
Any advice please appreciated.

I have a virtual red hat Linux server, I need to add another virtual drive and then get the Linux os to detect it, format it and then create another filesystem called /upgrade
I do not know Linux at all, windows person tasked with this. So far I have created a virtual hard drive and added it to the server. I then in terminal run fdisk and I can see the disk but need guidance on every step in lay mans terms.
If someone could break it down for me that would be great or if they know of a tutorial that does this, I did find some online but they were above my understanding or did not meet my niche request.
