Celebrity Based Nation

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

I am currently on the metro going downtown to work. Its jammed pack… And every newspaper within eyes reach is fixed on the “style” and “celebrity” news section. If people in this backwards-ass (not a good backwards this time) country we live in spent half the time they spend talking about celebrities on talking about what’s going on in there own life, maybe all of us could improve just enough to make a positive impact on the world.

Small Business Tax Reform I Could Live With

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

When reading a post from Mark Cuban (Warren Buffett, Taxes and the Presidency), I began to fall in love with what he was calling for in tax reform.  Obviously the most important points that he brings up in his post (well, for me at least) was about small businesses being taxed.  Cuban says that we should just completely do away with taxes for any small business with less than 25 people.  The idea being that it would cause small businesses to start poping up, creating new job opportunities for our country.  The government could still receive income tax from the businesses employees, but the business itself would not have to worry about taxes until it reached 26 employees.  Check out his blog post linked above, well worth the read I think!
