  1. Raising The Tipped Minimum Wage

    I recently watched an interview with the author of a book, the objective of which was the defense of the argument to raise the tipped minimum wage. The tipped minimum wage is the hourly wage earned by servers in the food industry and has remained the same for more than twenty years at $ 2.13.

  2. Taxing The World Wide Web

    I understand and empathize with the plight of state government leaders across America. I know that states need tax dollars to support their schools, roads, public assistance programs and so on.

  5. Business is Risk: Part One

    You might be cash strapped or emotionally bankrupt… either way, there is never a better time than now to put into motion a new strategy that can inject a new cash flow into your company and re-energize it in an economy that is struggling to support businesses. Realize that small business is risky and that is why every business owner needs to be willing to make the big decisions that will reorganize and inject a new cash flow into their companies.

    In any type of business, it is hard ...
