What is the breakdown of parking fine revenue?
28.December, 2009
I just read that parking fine revenue doesn’t go fully to councils and they only get a portion of it. Where does the rest go? The government? Private companies? Where?
It is exactly the same in every village and city in every country in the world. Each town has exactly the same budget, from NYC to the middle of the amazon jungle. The formula, however, is a secret.
How do I know what to pay for my business taxes?
25.December, 2009
I have a sole proprietorship. I just started it. Indiana (IN) requires I report monthly. When I charge the regular/typical 7% for sales or service (home computer repair,) is that how much I pay? For example, I charge $40.00. The tax is $2.80. Do I remit that exact $2.80 over to the Indiana Department of Revenue? If not, how do I figure out how mcuh to report? THANKS
The state dept of revenue should have told you when and how to remit the money from the sales tax when you got your sales tax id from them. If you didn’t get one, get it NOW. If you have the id but not the info on how to report and remit the tax, call them and ask. But first go through anything they sent you with the tax id form. You’ll send in the tax you collected, maybe minus a small handling fee, I don’t know if IN allows that. Your paperwork should say. Whether you report on paper, by phone, or internet, there should be a sequence of questions.
You know that you also need to report the income and expenses on your federal and state tax returns?
Poll: How much would you pay to expend your business? Small business owner or senior management ,please?
22.December, 2009
A $85M revenue company is trying to expend to China. How much should we pay for a consultant who has years of expense in both US and China and who knows the culture and both languages well. Most importantly, the consultant has strong relationship in business world of China. How much would you pay on hourly bases or what are the some of the ways to get this person?
There is a small problem. This person in high tax bracket and the tax rate is going up next year and he is caught in it at very bottom.
Thank you to all!

Places to live in the U.S.?
22.December, 2009
My husband and I were talking. Now, I don’t think we’re going to do this immediately (we’d have to save the money and have jobs in the location first) but we are getting sick to death of all the water in New Orleans. If it isn’t the hurricanes, its massive rainstorms (the one from a few days ago caused part of our roof to cave in). We’re trying to think of where we want to settle down for a while and, though we both love New Orleans, the weather is starting to make it unlivable.
So here’s a few things we were thinking…
The west is out because we don’t want to deal with earthquakes, and frankly the cost of living and issues on most of the American west coast make it something we aren’t willing to consider.
The midwest is out mostly because our careers pretty much don’t exist there. We both work in hotels. While my current position can probably be filled anywhere, HIS can’t be and we’d take a major hit if we were to try. Due to our careers (I really don’t want to be stuck at front desk clerk/reservations agent status my whole life. I want to move up and not have to deal with the public anymore. He’s at Revenue Manager level and those jobs aren’t easy to get), we need whats called a Destination area.
That means a place with alot of tourism.
Personally, I really dislike New York (particularly the massive amounts of snow) and would rather not deal with the state at all so thats out.
Basically that leaves the south. The question is where in the south.
Mississippi and Alabama are out because they are still swampland just like Louisiana and we are sick to death of dealing with the chance of flooding due to hurricanes. If we’re going to have to deal with hurricanes (and lets face it, if you live in the south, you have to deal with hurricanes), we’d rather be on more stable ground.
Which means that, that I can think of, its Florida, Georgia, the Carolina’s and the Virginia’s.
Thing is, I need some opinions on this. I’m not an American but my husband is. That means that, while I’m vaguely aware of the benefits and negatives of each state, I don’t have any in depth knowledge. I’d ask hubby but we’re both at work right now, and we were having the conversation on the drive to work. When next I talk to him about it, I’d like to have more information under my belt as it were. I’ve done some research on the net but its no substitute for experience.
So now I’m asking all of you. What do you think?
Oh I’d like to add that I know Tennessee is an option. All his family are there. The thing is that it doesn’t have much besides Nashville and I’d pull my hair out having to listen to that much country music. Its all right, but hearing it every single day would be bad.
Well I lived in Richmond, Virginia many many years and loved it! Me and my husband would love to have the opportunity to move back. Yes there are hurricanes but I doubt they are to the extent of the Gulf Coast. Charlottesville has tourists coming to see Monticello and their biggest tourist season is the fall due to that whole area being Virginia’s wine country harvest season- me and my husband would take weekend trips to Charlottesville all the time and even had our wedding there after we moved to TN. Charlottesville is pretty popular for weddings as well since it is such a beautiful area. There is also UVA there and so you get a lot of people coming in town for football games. Totally different from New Orleans more laid back, quiet, and romantic. There are also ski resorts in the western part of VA- Massanutten is the only one I can think of now as I don’t ski.
North Carolina has the Outer Banks which is a great touristy area but if you want to be a little further from the beach they have a major airports in Raleigh and Charlotte. I prefer Charlotte though.
My best friend lives outside of Atlanta and I really enjoy that area but haven’t really been there enough to tell you much about it. My husband always talks about Savannah, GA being a ton of fun but I’ve never been there.
I don’t know anything about SC besides having a few friends that live there.
As for FL I’m just not a fan though I’m sure you know Orlando is a huge touristy area- I have family there that’s why I stay away lol.
I hope this helps you! Good luck!
Could someone tell me the website or something.

it reminds me of a famous dialogue scene from the movie Indian. kamal haasan asks nizhalgel ravi "matthe naatule ellam lanjem illeya?" and he replies "ille". then kamal says "irukku. anggeyum lanjem irukku. aana anggellam kademeye meerurethukkuthan lanjem vanggurangge. aana ingge kademeye seyyerethukke lanjem vanggureengge".

Do you support the Philly Transit Workers Union "No Viagra No Peace"?
07.December, 2009
No daily Viagra dose, no peace! Philly transit workers Rise Up in protest
The striking union of transit workers in Philadelphia are angry that they’re not getting daily doses of Viagra. And amazingly, their bosses apparently caved on their demands after the union turned down a generous offer — and threatened to embarrass the city during the World Series.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority has agreed to cover almost all of its rising health-care costs, and to increase coverage for Pfizer’s (PFE) Viagra and other erectile dysfunction treatments, the Philadelphia Daily News reports. Workers are unhappy that their health insurance plan only covers about 10 pills a month.
With the exception of Playboy (PLA) founder Hugh Hefner — who must be buying his little blue pills wholesale — most patients are prescribed a hand full of erectile dysfunction pills at a time. Doctors — legitimate ones, with offices and licenses — know that these pills are almost as popular on the Internet as Paris Hilton’s sex tape, and most don’t encourage patients to make a few extra bucks by dealing it.
Many customers do deal it, of course. In 2006, a SEPTA employee was caught trying to illegally obtain nearly 40 Viagra prescriptions. This new benefit will no doubt renew that entrepreneurial spirit among some employees.
The Viagra issue may seem silly, but the SEPTA strike is not. The authority serves a metropolitan region with 325 million riders a year. Fiscal 2009 revenue was $456.6 million. Like many public transit services, it’s pretty lousy, but it’s a vital link for residents throughout the Philadelphia area, and the strike has paralyzed the Delaware Valley for four days.
Last night, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and Rep. Bob Brady announced a tentative agreement in the four-day old strike. It’s a sweet deal. The five-year pact would provide for a $1,250 bonus upon ratification — which may come tonight — a 2.5% raise in the second year, and a 3% raise in each of the final three years. Workers’ health-insurance contributions will remain at 1% of base pay, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Given the terms granted to the pharmaceutically emboldened employees, Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Karen Heller dryly noted that commuters should be worried that "every bus, trolley, and subway route has the potential to turn into an express, particularly during those problematic four-hour peaks in service." ¡Viva Viagra!

With the tax cuts of Ronald Reagan & George W Bush, did tax revenues go up or down after the tax cuts?
07.December, 2009
There are 3 terms you learn in economics 101. One states that by lowing the price you actually increase total revenues. One states that by lowering the price your total revenues will decrease. The last one states that by lowering the price your total revenues stays the same.
Ronald Reagan didn’t lower the tax rates for fun. He had an economic theory behind it and it does not state that "lowering tax rates always increases tax revenue". That is a misconception by people who don’t understand the theory behind it. Reagan’s tax policy was based on the Laffer curve. I encourage you to look it up. If you lower taxes past a certain point you will lose tax revenue. Also when you are evaluating where you are on the Laffer curve you would not simply pick periods of high economic activity, but ones of lower economic activity as well.
