You could do that if dividends aren't taxed. But your corporation will still have corporate tax at 15% for the first $50,000 and then 25% for the next $25,000, then 34% the next 25K, and 39% above that (thanks to Clinton). So you would need to pay yourself a salary to reduce the corporate...

Tax reductions to a point can lead to increased taxes coming into the government via improving commerce (1980's under Reagan for example). I agree our national debt needs taken care of, as well as our annual trade deficit. The government needs to get back to its original purpose of providing...

Anything that reduces taxes helps Everybody. The little people, as you imply yourself as being, benefit from more job opportunities and potentially higher pay due to their employers doing better. The little people are always whining about fairness, yet their whole way of life is due to the...

Privatize all of social security and give the current retirees full time jobs at Wal-Mart. 99% have part-time jobs there now. Require anyone on unemployment for more that a month to work the gold mines. Phase in the gold standard and require .55 cents of gold for each dollar issued...

Interesting article. The S&P is overvalued due to the inflationary lag phenomenon, and is anticipating the large future corporate profits. The money supply is increased by increasing debt (lower interest rates). It's analogous to a rich individual who is land rich but cash poor. He...

Weak minded.

Those grocers are scammers, charging for shelf space, etc. Costco is one of the worst, making vendors eat whole shipments on a whim. Bigger isn't better necessarily. This site needs advertisers to pay for bandwidth, etc., so it's a necessary evil. And when some pay, it's unfair if some don't...

The ultimate insult! Brokers, used car salesmen, and attorneys are the three worst insinuations to make. Maybe stock analyst as well. :D

It's funny how the 20 point ranges seem like monster days now. Nice start to the year though!

LOL. Like the guy promoting heating oil every year.

You're not on the special alert service then I take it ElCubano? :D We'll have to get you on the list.

Its actual name is the "Working Group on Financial Markets" which has as members: the secretary of the treasury, the chairmen of the Federal Reserve Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. In the event of a financial crisis, each federal...
