Have you ever wondered why communist countries failed, or, at least, have had serious trouble making ends meet (with an exception of China1)? Some will say it's due to the brilliant policies of the Saint Reagan, others will expound the inner evilness of totalitarian regimes. But the truth is much more prosaic: in communism there is no direct incentive to care. To care about anything, but most of a

Speaking at Pittsburgh on Tuesday John McCain made a speech outlining economic plans that he would like in place if he were to become President. I'm glad McCain is for the corporations of America. McCains speech today seemed conflicted. While he was taking aim at CEO's who make millions and their companies are failing, but he wants to cut the corporate tax from 35 percent to 25 percent. It's mighty odd how McCain wants to go after the evil CEO's but wants to help corporations by cutting their taxes. McCain is also trying to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. How do the tax cuts help average americans like me. I didn't see any real tangible benefit from these tax cuts, but then again McCain is the one who is out of touch with real Americans.

Some of the biggest sources of charitable donations come from corporations. While a donation made by an individual receives a tax credit, a donation made by a corporation receives an income deduction. Tax credits are different from tax deductions.Let's explain the difference by looking at a few examples. Tax DeductionLet's assume we have an individual who has a marginal tax rate of 40%. If they had a $100 tax deduction, this means they can write off $100 from their income. They would normally have paid $40 in tax on that $100 of income. By having written down their income by $100, they conversely have saved $40 of tax in this case. The value of tax deductions vary according to your marginal tax rate - so they are more valuable to higher income earners.Tax CreditIf this same perso

As with just about everything else these days, corporations are outsourcing their checks on potential employees to background check companies that specialize in using public and private records to find out about anyone. There are many reasons why they might want to check on their potential employees, and many reasons why it's more cost effective to use background check companies rather than try to accomplish this themselves.Legality to Work in the CountryIt's unfortunate that there is a need for checks on any potential employees, but there are many reasons why they may be absolutely necessary.

Although most major corporations around the nations are becoming a little more ‘blue’ in their giving following the Democrats’ takeover of both houses of Congress, Texas’ Fortune 500 remains blood red. Their favorite money pot? The campaign coffers of one U.S. Senator John Cornyn:
The favorite candidate of Texas’ largest companies is Cornyn, a first-term Republican senator who is up for re-election in 2008.
Cornyn has received $66,330 from the state’s Fortune 500 companies in the first nine months of 2007, according to FEC records.
The free-enterprise conservative from San Antonio has received 100 percent of the business PAC donations to the Texas Senate race, where the early Democratic front-runner is state Rep. Rick Noriega, D-Houston.
Cornyn campaign spokesman Kevin McLaughlin says the senator “understands that government’s role is providing a pro-growth environment, where taxes are low and government red tape is kept to a minimum.

official data shows that the Bush administration has transferred power from the people to corporations at an alarming rate. thebankruptcynewsdotcom
The above chart shows the widening gap between corporate profits and salaries. If you want to see how dramatic this widening gap is, take a look at the following chart.
The curve represents the differential between Compensation of employees paid and Corporate Profits (before and after tax), which shows the transfer of wealth from employees to corporations. As you can see, the Bush administration shows a dramatic change in the transfer of wealth from workers to corporations.
Another notable trait of this chart is that after the tax cuts the gap between after taxes and pre-taxes transfer of wealth widens, which indicates that the tax cuts do not help corporations at all, actually it seems to hurt them. The reasons for this enormous transfer of wealth are increases in productivity (exploitation of labor, or in corpor

Last week Jim Tobin tagged me in an article on “Why Social Media Marketing is Hard for Corporations.” A very timely post, as this topic has been bantered about quite a bit in the back channel over the past couple of weeks between myself, Debbie Weil, CC Chapman, and others.
Sixty years of mass communication rules will take a long time to un-write no matter how hot social media becomes. Corporation cultures just don’t change very easily.
And to be frank — though more companies are engaging — it’s not an all consuming flood. Why? It flies in the face of everything we as marketers have been taught. Consider Jim’s post:
Professional marketers were trained to talk. They were the “spinners”, the ones who could come up with the talking points, the unique selling proposition. Whether a customer was ready to listen wasn’t a big concern. We just had to figure out what shows they were watching and hope they stayed on the couch.

In the United States it was introduced in 1913. Since then what was initially a plan to tax only the rich eventually “trickled down” to the middle class and the poor.
The rich have a secret weapon to shelter themselves from heavy taxation. It’s called the Corporation. It isn’t a building with the company name and logo in brass signage out front.

It’s the legal way to protect your wealth, and the rich have been using it for generations. Do your
If your small business or U.S. corporation takes checks, some of them “bounce.” Hot checks are a big problem for businesses. The need to collect hot checks has gotten to the point where several District Attorney and Prosecutor offices have a “hot check program.” These programs may also go under the names of “bad check enforcement program,” “hot check task force,” “District Attorney bad check office,” “NSF check enforcement unit,” “bad check unit,” “hot check office,” and “bad check diversion unit.”There are some things you can do to stop hot check writers in their tracks. Confirm the identity of the check writer. Ask for (and write down) the driver’s license number of the person. See if the written amount of the check matches the dollar figure of the check. Check the date to be sure that it is correct. Ask for a work phone and home phone. Have the person sign the check in your presence, and be sure the signature is legible.Many “hot chec
Most mutual funds are set up in a trust structure, but for those of you who invest in mutual funds AND have non-registered investment accounts, you may want to look into Mutual Fund Corporations because they offer some interesting tax advantages. First off, this may seem like a technical, high-brow concept - but it is not that complicated in actuality. I'm going to give you the rundown first and then explain the how and why.A mutual fund trust and a mutual fund corporation behave and act in almost an identical fashion - each is just an investment portfolio managed on the behalf of many investors who pool their money together and give it to a mutual fund company. In fact more and more mutual fund companies are offering the same mutual fund as both a trust and as a corporation. The difference comes in the added tax advantages afforded by the mutual fund when setup as a mutual fund corporation. In essence, it allows for you to switch between funds of the sa

It is extremely amazing how much the face of running a corporation has changed. With the internet boom, the rise of computers, and the advancement of electronic technology, corporate governance has changed dramatically.Things used to be very structured. You were to always be in the office before your boss and were to always leave after him/her. You had to always be in the office, period. All of the processes were slow and information took a very long time to acquire. Nowadays, it is rare day when you are in the office. Most of the time communications to and from your office are done on a PDA, smart phone, e-mail, and or fax machine. Corporate employees today have to be movers and shakers. Corporations today support free thinkers; people who “think outside the box” are valuable assets to a corporation. This is not to say that the way things were done on the past was ineffective. Many corporations became extremely profitable by doing things the “old way.” However, yo

Children all over the United States and Canada are being bombarded in their own public schools by a slew of marketing messages from corporate America. Public school students can no longer walk down the hallway, ride the bus, or even open up their textbooks without being subjected to a message that essentially tells them that they need to buy something.
“Corporations in the Classroom” is a one-hour documentary that profiles the increasing covert influence that big business is exerting on public school children in America and Canada. Marketing to school age students is estimated to be a 2 billion dollar industry. The film raises questions about the lack of regulations that are in place that would protect our children from the aggressive corporate marketing campaigns that are often masquerading as classroom lessons.
The problem that I see with this new “curricula,” that is being perpetrated on our children, is not necessarily the idea that corporate sponsors
