It wouldn't be that difficult. Lots of states that have sales tax don't tax food. Simply make the essentials untaxed or any product of a particular category under a particular price untaxed. We have these measures in the current system.

I know you are joking and this is something I think about. I heard about a protest at JP Morgan where people where chanting and wanted to deliver a letter to the CEO. However, I really hope it isn't a violent incident. We don't need a war

The opposite of the U.S. is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a society that rewards creativity, pragmatism, and the entrepreneurial spirit by making it as easy as possible to run a business. Laws like this do the opposite. The

What are the penalties of non-compliance? If you just don't bother with the 1099's, what happens? Fines? More taxes? That's really what we need to know. If there are no penalties, there is no law.

Ways to do these things have been around for decades, but it's not in the interest of the producers of homes and employers to do them. Look into some of the inventions by R. Buckminster Fuller. He invented a house that cost thousands, easi

Google is much more "Big Brother" then Apple. WHY? Because if you don't use Apple products, Apple doesn't care. They don't track you and they don't store your information. Google however is a different case. Even if I don't intend to use G

even if it is test data, we must wonder, why did anyone ever build the system such that credit card numbers were visible to google? Why did someone include the credit card number in the select clause, add it to the html template, and put i

This might be a case of the dunning kruger effect in action. The blogger doesn't know enough about the web that he'd suggest a fancy new technology called 3d HTML without even knowing that it already exists. How many people rely on inexperi

Every valuation metric requires context. Like sparky said, you can't compare two different types of businesses the same way. In retail, you want razor thin margins. In software you want very high margins. In capital intensive businesses

In large organizations, the decisions made by the employees are often not related to the bottom line. They'd rather have more direct reports than increase profit margins. Middle managers feel powerful because they tell many people what to
