DANA POINT, Calif., Oct. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A new industry-first deployment from unified communications (UC) provider SimpleSignal and gUnify enables organizations to quickly and easily integrate Google Apps and leading CRM solutions with SimpleSignal's award-winning cloud-based telephony systems. The new solution will be demonstrated at Broadsoft Connections in San Diego on Thursday, October 17 at 3 p.m.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130624/MM37337LOGO)
With new and expanded capabilities, SimpleSignal delivers greater functionality through a more efficient business communications proposition to its growing customer base of enterprise and mid-market companies across the U.S. The gUnify integration also makes SimpleSignal a far more viable communications alternative to more than 5 million businesses, government agencies and other organizations that have switched to Google Apps.
SimpleSignal and gUnify have integrated a variety of features directly within the Chrome browser Gmail window including conferencing, call reporting, dialing/answering and other functionality that all are unavailable from any other BroadSoft-based UC provider.
With the gUnify integration, SimpleSignal customers can now work from within their browser to:
"SimpleSignal is powering productivity one Google Apps user at a time," said SimpleSignal's CTO, Ujjval Karihaloo. "By working directly with gUnify, we created industry-first features that further free businesses from the limitations inherent in legacy PBXes and other systems that weren't designed with today's workflows in mind."
The gUnify integration is one more example of how SimpleSignal keeps going beyond the standard features normally associated with UC providers operating on similar platforms. This is made possible through gUnify integration of advanced APIs from SimpleSignal's platform provider Broadsoft and Google to provide greater functionality for Google Apps customers, as well as leading CRM platforms Apptivo, goClio, Nimble, SalesForce and ZOHO.

2013 Challenge Walk MS Do It Yourself Fundraising (DIY) Wisconsin Chapter Home Page
MS Warriors
Help Our Team in the Fight Against MS!The number of people living with multiple sclerosis increases every hour of every day. This astonishing rate is not going to slow down, let alone stop, until we've found a cure. Research has made some incredible advances recently, but the world can still only offer disease management drugs and therapies to the 400,000 people living with MS in America.We've formed a team for Challenge Walk MS because the National Multiple Sclerosis Society funds more MS research than any other private organization. In addition to supporting studies which hope to reveal the cause and course of the disease, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society also provides much needed education, programs, and services to everyone who is affected by MS - including the diagnosed, their friends and families, and the healthcare professionals who work with them.Join our team as a walker or a volunteer! Make a donation online! Send in a check! There are so many ways to make a difference in the fight against MS, and it all begins right here.

Esher rugby star taking to the field
6:00am Tuesday 10th September 2013 in Other Rugby News By Levi Winchester
A 16-year-old rugby sevens player from Esher is to compete at the Sainsbury's 2013 School Games in Sheffield this week.
Sarah Bern, an Esher High School pupil, will represent London and the south-east between Thursday, September 12, and Sunday, September 15, at Abbeydale Sports Ground.
About 1,600 other potential future sports stars competing across 12 sports.
Sarah, who plays for Esher Rugby Football Club and was nominated for the BBC's Young Sports Personality of the Year award by the Rugby Football Union last year, said: "I'm very happy to have been selected as it feels like all my hard work has paid off.
"This selection proves I'm progressing as I need to and makes me determined to keep working hard and push for my dream of one day playing for Great Britain at an Olympic Games – especially now it has been confirmed rugby sevens will be a sport at Rio 2016."
Bern was congratulated by Sainsbury's Active Kids ambassador, David Beckham, who said: "Sarah should be incredibly proud of being selected to compete in the Sainsbury's 2013 School Games."

The Kinect camera peripheral for Microsoft's Xbox 360 is, in our hands-on experience, an impressive piece of hardware. But hardware alone doesn't make for a great product unless there's quality software to go along with it. The real challenge for the Kinect is to create a compelling user … Read more

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
I don't know who first said that but in the case of those -- is graceful farm labor proposals it is clearly true to say.
That's exposure to the light of day.
Helped prevent a disgrace.
Is my take on a very instructive victory.
Point want.
After being counted on the Internet and on TV programs like this -- The proposal to stop anyone under -- -- working on a farm has been withdrawn.
The establishment media didn't touch the story.
We did and you responded vigorously that is instructive.
When the grassroots finds out about it the Elise -- confounded and defeated.
Point two.
It tells you a lot about this administration that -- rule was would have been proposed in the first place.
As we said yesterday is that no corner of my life that this government doesn't want to organize regulate tax and and intrude upon know there is not.
President Obama's labor secretary wanted to make me a human rights -- if I let one of my teenage children drive -- track to that it is simply ridiculous.
So congratulations to all involved in this push back.
Representative Cynthia llamas who led the charge in congress.
To the daily call website which stopped and use our thoughts and to you -- view is who spread the word far and why.

If you plan on doing any carpentry work that includes building a set of stairs you need these little framing square gauges. They slip over the edge of your square an are adjustable for different thicknesses of metal. You set them to the exact dimensions you want to layout (example: 7" rise and 9" tread) and trace the outline of your square. Then you simply slide the square down to the next tread position and repeat the process. The are very easy to use. Made of brass, they will last forever if properly cared for and backed by Craftsman lifetime warranty. All for under $4 - what a deal!

By Diana Carroll
As your representative in House District 43, my priorities will be to increase transparency within state government, reduce taxes and create more jobs. I want to put my business experience to work for you and all the residents of Cumberland County.
Greater transparency within state government will increase the accountability of elected officials. Taxpayers have a right to know how their tax dollars are being spent.
I will work to ensure that departments operate within the funding budgeted for each department, and to ensure funding intended for a department or agency cannot be redirected to another department or agency. Just as families must tighten their budgets, so must our government.
I believe that outsourcing government operations - carefully selected - can improve efficiency and provide cost savings. In some areas, this will greatly reduce or eliminate costs associated with vehicle maintenance, insurance costs, salaries, worker's compensation and funding state pensions. This will create jobs within the private sector while creating revenue through an increased tax base.
Improved government that creates an environment for private businesses to succeed is our path to economic recovery.
I believe that those elected to serve in state government must be held accountable by those they represent. I will be a strong voice for the families of Cumberland County and responsive to them. My door will always be open, and I will return calls.
I understand my role is to serve residents of Cumberland County. I will do this by regularly meeting with the residents of N.C. House District 43 and, whenever possible, reaching across the political aisle to work with everyone in the legislature.
As a local businesswoman "married to the U.S. Army," I understand the needs of the local community as well as those serving our country. I understand firsthand the importance of military to Cumberland County. I want to work with the Fort Bragg leadership to develop support for its mission.
In 2003, after running a small home-based business, I opened the Roly Poly sandwich shop in Fayetteville. My family invested our savings and borrowed to open this business. As a local restaurant owner, I managed every element of the daily operations. I know what it's like to have the responsibility of making payroll every two weeks for employees who depend upon a business for their livelihoods.
I sold my business in 2008 and have worked as an insurance agent and in the merchant financial services industry.
I understand the concerns that families face every day because I have faced many of the same challenges personally. I know what it's like to own and operate a business, buy groceries, pay medical bills, worry about my children's future and see the effects of rising fuel costs on every part of our lives.
I ask for your prayers, your support, and your vote.

I WAS born in Batu Pahat, Johor, and moved to Singapore in 1957 to start training as a student nurse.
I married Bruce MacRae Smith, a Scot who was then working in Singapore.
We used to live in Europe for about four months a year. In 1980, when our son was 12 years of age, we decided to relocate to France.
My husband then bought a property in Lot Etgaronne and turned it into a resort that we called Guirot Bas. It was very popular with families, mainly in the summer.
After my husband passed away four years ago, I sold Guirot Bas and came to Malaysia for a holiday in October 2010.
Just a week into the holiday, I suffered a peritonitis attack and needed a colostomy.
While recuperating in the hospital, I decided to retire in Malaysia and recently moved to live in a care home in Kulaijaya, where I'm enjoying a carefree lifestyle especially after running a holiday resort for 20 years!

Well stated Clive.
Nollaig Chridheil agus Bliadhna Mhath Ur!
let's keep the defibrillator talk up.
Humans really have one significant weakness with electricity (apart from their juicy interior). The heart consists of a large number of muscles which pump together in sync and it takes just a narrow range of current at just the right time to knock those muscles out of sync and in that instance they all beat at different times and the heart doesn't work properly. Manual CPR is more designed to keep blood flowing in the body by physically compressing the heart area until medical assistance arrives, the only really effective thing to get those heart muscles beating in sync again is the defibrillator. It does this by monitoring what's left of the heart beat and then applying a single pulse to make all the muscles contract in unison and knock them back into sync again. the time from a heart going into the uncontrolled state (fibrillation) to getting it started again is crucial. It's much better to apply the treatment there and then than wait for paramedics, particularly if you are in a remote area.
Honestly, if this was a machine for getting your bike or truck going you'd have no problem using it. It just seems to be the "medical" association that puts men off. I can understand this, I'm a big guy and I don't like "medical stuff" myself. Once we get over that hurdle and accept that it's just a routine bit of linemans kit for a first aid box then lives will be saved.
Imagine putting one of these on a buddy who'd had a shock and the thing showing an irregular heartbeat. Imagine the feeling when it did it's job and the heartbeat came back solid and you realised you'd just saved his life....
Well stated Clive.

We just had our re-qual CPR training and I have to say to was top notch this year. It used to be done by our safety coordinator but this time they went outside the company and it was IMO money well woth spending. The usual training was kinda a joke and I don't know if it's just the MACHO attitude we sometimes show or the fact that we had to kiss the dummy or whatever but this time we had questions from guys that I'd never expect to be interested. (You know the type) Those AED's are kick ass and a life saver, no, a necessity. Not only did they show us adults but kids, infants, and the proper way to respond to situations where normally it would have been madness. I don't care who you work for, how macho you are, or what the budget says (I know that's stretchin it) but these things save lives and should be a requirement if you're dealing with what we do. Talk to your supervisors and let them know if they aren't already onboard. Let them know the talk that's goin on and pay attention to detail fella's. This is one of those things that's awesome to know, don't have to be applied strictly at work, and hopefully we'll never have to actually use any of the stuff we learned....but if we do, we're ready!

a sunday in nov , my brother ,lineman steve made contact withe 7200, ,,,this came 2 weeks after we practiced poletop resque,,,he was on the pole , we had backyard bucket and a man on the ground, we are still unclear as to exactly what happened, he was working on de energised secondary ,,it was a wind storm, we think a branch or vine made contact with primary to secondary. ,,but if it could go right it did , the first responder ,,after poletop resque was a police officer who had a defibbulator machine ,,careflight was on a return run ,directly overhead ,,within 3 minutes,he was bound to the hospital,,,he lost a finger ,,but we didnt lose him ,,we are so lucky,,I asked if we could have these devices ,,and they are thinking about it ,, what do they cost ,,,?
Georgia Power put AED's on our trucks about a year ago. We have one on all of our buckets and a few through out our building where I work. They even gave on to the Union Hall. They have alredy saved two people. One of the guys in our repair shop where they rebuild and test transformers, had a 4kv contact. They used the AED on him and it brought him back. It wasn't long after the Hall got theirs that someone had a heart attack and it worked on him. There was one other case where a crew tried to use one on someone that had a heart attack in their car but it was too late for him. All of this happened with in a few months of us receiving them. We also have trainer models we can practice with when we do our CPR training.
Hooray for Georgia Power.
What puzzles me is that here is a prime example of a progressive utility that is fostering a Safety Culture that must have started at the top. We all know you can't push a rope up hill.
Why wouldn't OSHA be interested enough to send a group of reps there to learn something about what is required to run a safe and efficient utility that provides ample training and equipment for their staff.
With the state of affairs we see on this site and the lack of educated OSHA investigators and inspectors it only seems logical something needs doin'.
Right now we seem to have 'dumb and dumber' trying to regulate something they don't know sh-- about.
We'll never get anywhere at this rate. The carnage will go on, meanwhile lots of kids are being orphaned and lots of widows are left out in the cold.
Hasn't anybody got any gumpsion in this organization.
The old Lineman
The cost of the things is not that high in relative terms. I think they are in the region of 1000 UKP which probably means they are a thousand bucks in the USA.
It's probably worth showing this thread to the management of the other power companies. If they see Georgia Powers results they might see the light.
Being a "tramp" (apparently) I'm pretty tempted to buy one myself to carry around the jobs I work on. As I see it the cost is small compared to some of the test equipment you can buy throughout your working life.
OSHA tends to operate very slowly, and even if you do manage to get them to make some sort of change that you ask for, they probably will have so much red tape mixed in that you wish you never asked. Our local Unions, on the other hand, take the time to put proper language in our contracts that almost anyone can understand, and the Union has the power to enforce contract violations in a timely manner. Maybe the requirement of having an AED available to each foreman, on specific vehicles, or what seems to be most beneficial, and justifiable, should be incorporated into our contracts as part of the working conditions requirements. Possibly this would be even better if it could be a requirement sent down from the International office. I know this wouldn't be an overnight thing, and it would take even longer for it to affect non-union companies, but as many of us are aware, a lot of the OSHA rules that we have are things that originally came from the labor organizations and someone in the government actually realized that, hey, these are good ideas. I'm sure some of you reading this are in a position where you have a good understanding on how something like this could be done, what would we need to do?
Living my life and loving it!!!
I'm not poking holes is your post Tramp67 but you and I know that as long as this thing is union driven it isn't ever going to reach lots and lots of hard working linemen. Some locals are weaker than others and some shops aren't organized.
They shouldn't be left out of the loop.
The only time this thing will happen is when the guys in the the BIG ivory tower see the merit.
A strong case can be made for the adverse effects of electrical current on the myocardial impulses. CPR was adopted for this industry in 1952 because of the high mortality rate and the general public all benefitted from this discovery.
Fifty years later if OSHA was really serious about saving lives they would acknowledge the benefits of the AED's and write in rules that have to be followed by ALL utilities and their contractors nation wide.
Doing this piece meal will take decades and perhaps many decades to accomplish.
I say go for the throat on this one. We've lost too many and are losing more each week. It's high time to move the goal post.
AED's won't save everybody but generally they have a 65% success rate where CPR has only 3%.
The Old Lineman
B.C., thats great brother!!! except to where I got to the last sentence...??? Lets hope and pray you'l never have to use it on yourself unless you have a ground man that can apply it to you. Otherwise we may have to make up a billboard on your line truck that says: "ATTENTION: If you see me laying unconscious near my truck theres is an AED in the jumpseat. Grab it and place the wires on my chest and press button. Thank you." I saw those accident pictures you posted. Stay safe out there!

Just Make It 27%
The reason I like simplicity is because it's really hard to scam somebody or lie when things are kept simple. It is complexity wherein politicians and criminals work their ways to get your money out of your hands legally.
The most obvious example of this is our complex tax system. 16,000 pages plus for the tax code and now that I'm working on bankruptcies and asset recovery I am reminded as to just how complex politicians have made taxes ON PURPOSE. They also make it so you don' t know you're being bled. Much like leeches will soothe your skin with an anesthetic before they start to suck out your blood, politicians have made it so you don't even realize how much you're paying in taxes with the PAYGO system.
But the single worst aspect of this complex tax system is not the loopholes that benefit a few connected people, nor is it the fact we have to waste the equivalent of 2 weeks per year complying with this horrendously complex tax code, nor is it the loss of production that labor could have been spent doing otherwise.
No, the single LARGEST COST to the complex tax system is simply the lack of....
"Pricing?" you say.
"Yes, pricing," I answer.
Understand that government has a price. It has a cost. And that cost is the price we pay in taxes.
The problem is that since we have so many taxes and so many fees at so many different levels, that nobody really knows what the final price tag of the government is. This is HORRIBLE in that without knowing the price of something, you can't tell for sure whether it's worth what you're getting in return.
A Big Mac is very simple. I know it costs about $4. And therefore, before I spend my $4 I can COMPARE the PRICE against the EXPECTED BENEFIT. MW3 is very simple. I know it costs $60 and can COMPARE THE PRICE AGAINST THE EXPECTED BENEFIT.
But with government you can't do that. Because nobody, bar some really anal-retentive accountants, can tell you what price you are personally paying for government.
Now, super-awesome economists such as myself kindly and regularly calculate "government spending as a percent of GDP." This is to show the people "hey, this is what we're paying for the government we got."
THere's just one small problem.
98% of the American adult population doesn't know what "GDP" stands for, let alone the merit of dividing government spending by it. They wouldn't be able to understand what that number signifies. Besides, it's getting in the way of their love affair with Kim Kardashian's wedivorce.
But it is here that the true argument for a flat sales tax lays.
A flat sales tax does four things.
1. It consolidates ALL the various government taxes into ONE SINGLE TAX. More specifically, ONE SINGLE NUMBER everybody can understand, and in doing so puts a VERY SPECIFIC PRICE ON GOVERNMENT. Because all government revenue would be derived from ONE single tax, any cries or demands from the people to "pay for the chilllllllldreeeeeen" or "bailing out Banksters" or "free food" or "social security" or "wars here and there" would immediately and quite accurately drive up that ONE SINGLE NUMBER, so you could see how much "paying for free college education" would cost.
"The starting tax rate is 20%. Oh, you want free health care? The new tax rate is 24.7% Oh, you also want to subsidize loser solar companies? The new new tax rate is now 25.1%. Oh, you want to bail out the banking industry? The new new NEW tax rate is 32%"
People would know PRECISELY how much government would cost and would therefore allow them to determine whether they were getting their bang for their buck.
2. It forces people to have skin in the game so they cannot rob Peter to pay themselves. If they want free food for their 4 illegitimate children, then they get to pay an extra 1% in sales tax on everything they buy. They want to have free education? They get to share some of that burden. And in doing so...
3. It unifies the people. Instead of pitting them against one another, the poor vs. the rich, the old vs. the young, the children vs the childrenless, doesn't matter. You're all in the same boat, you all pay the same price. You can no longer vote to tax one group of people or grant others a "credit" or a "loophole." Get in that damn sandbox and start playing nice with one another.
4. Makes people put down that damn People Magazine and quit worrying about Kim Kardashian and pay the ef attention to some economics.
There are of course other HUGE economic benefits to having a tax code that would be whittled down from 16,000 pages to a SOLE, SINGLE SIMPLE number, but the above is I think the most overlooked, perhaps never-considered benefit of a flat sales tax.
Now, out of the Republican contenders for the nomination, are there any advocating this?
No, even my man, Herman Cain, still has to complicate it unnecessarily by deriving taxes by three different sources. But it is a start.
I fear, however, even the average American voter isn't bright enough to multiply 9 by 3, and will thusly still be just as confused as with a 16,000 page tax code.
So why not just make it an even 27% and stop confusing the average American?

As much as I would like to see this, I wonder how this would deal with real-world complexity. What kinds of sales get taxed?
And (assuming you even care about this) how is this supposed to be fair to rich, poor, and in between when even a small amount of money means a lot more to a poor person than someone with a lot. Or rather, (correct me if I'm wrong), the marginal dollar means a lot more to a poor person than someone with a lot more wealth. I would also argue that the cost of protecting a person with lots of wealth is greater than the cost of protecting a person with not so much, so how does this flat tax account for this?
I think your approach looks nice but is too idealized. Nevertheless, like a good liberal I am open-minded and receptive to instruction if you think I'm misapprehending this whole issue. - 12:22 AM
Bro Herman has been a Sales tax (Fair Tax) guy for quite a while. This 999 thing is a stopping point on the road to eliminating all other federal taxes. I have been following Herman's carrer since the late 90s. The Demonrats wouldn't be doing this to him if he wasn't a real danger to Da One.
- Aynsley said...
Reason #3 is enough to keep the government from ever switching to a flat tax. A unified population is much harder to control than a population that is obsessed with choosing a side and throwing rocks at the "bad guys".
A marginal dollar does mean more to a poor person, but a sales tax is still a percentage. Also, the poor use far more government than they pay for. The rich pay the most and get back far less than they use. - 9:43 AM
The problem with our current tax system and any of the current proposals is they do not tie the taxes paid to the services used and thus are simply wealth transfer / legal plunder.
- Wheatking said...
what do you think of a sales tax, instead of an income tax. That would truly be the fairest not. The rich who want to spend on useless things would be taxed appropriately for it. No need for a proportional tax rate, no need for useless tax free retirement accounts. It would definitely increase the savings of households. The only downfall i can think of is keeping everything from going into the black market.
And i agree on the costing of govt. When numbers come in billions and trillions it is impossible for people to comprehend. We should get a bill with our taxes every year with a costing breakdown/person. That new bailout package to GM, it will cost your family $200, etc... This should also be done for every level of govt. That new school your council wants to built so they can have a legacy built in their name, it will cost you $600/year/person for the next twenty years. The city wants to build a bridge to nowhere, break it down to the cost/car traveling the highway.
We need to know how much our govt costs and they do everything in their power to keep us from knowing. - 10:04 AM
- Pat Sullivan said...
I agree with the flat tax. However, be warned on the dangers of a national sales tax. Every proposed new tax is either "temporary", or "revenue neutral". They will pitch the VAT tax as a way of eliminating income taxes. And surprise surprise, you will wake up one day to find out they never got rid of the other taxes.
All the countries that have a value added tax, are countries that have tapped out their income tax levels. And none of them have eliminated any income or payroll taxes. These high tax countries, also tend to fuel an abundant off book black market, in cash only transactions.
This is a warning to Americans, do not allow a national sales tax to happen. You will end up stuck with already high income taxes and an ever increasing sales tax. - 10:20 AM
- retronomics said...
If i recall correctly, Uruguay once had only a value-added-tax and no income taxes. Arabic countries also do not have income taxes.
Economists usually prefer consumption taxes over income taxes because they don't want savings to be taxed.
However, realistically there is no way ANY government, not even the US of A, would relinquish such a large share of expenditures that they could make do with only one type of tax. That being said, Cain's 9/9/9 seems a pretty good deal to me in these dark times. - 10:53 AM
As much as I would love to see tax simplification, I doubt it will ever happen. One of the biggest powers that Congress has is to grant favors via the tax code. They won't give up that power without a major housecleaning.
- S. Harvey said...
Step 1: Simple tax rate. Pick one, a sales tax, a flat income tax, hell I'd even accept 2 or 3 tax brackets.
But make the tax return a simple 3 line form: Enter income in to box A, pull rate from table 1 enter into box B, multiply A by B and enter into C, write cheque for value in C and sign the bottom.
No deductions, no credits, no loops which may or may not have holes in them.
Step 2: Balance budget within the new revenue stream outline in step 1.
You need to starve the beast by reducing it's funding. There are two ways of doing this, the hard way and the real hard way. The hard way is cutting spending now, doing without things we cannot afford and getting thing in order. The REAL HARD WAY, is the Italy way, where the people who lend you money decide to up the interest rate and you can no longer afford to do anything. - 1:17 PM
- Dalrock said...
Pat Sullivan explained the dangers with adding a new tax. It doesn't matter how it was sold, a new tax is a new tax, period. Unless there is a constitutional amendment repealing the income tax at the same time and capping the national sales tax, the tax monster risk isn't worth the simplicity reward.
Beyond this, my concern with all of this desire to radically rework our tax structure is it is overshadowing the more urgent issue. We need to turn our economy around. The graduated income tax structure isn't the primary problem. Our primary problems are:
1) We are dedicated to turning a blind eye while our trading partners rig their currencies. This is intricately tied into both our loss of a manufacturing economy and our national debt. Anything less than militant denial of this fact is considered protectionism.
2) Open boarders and a refusal to distinguish between citizens and legal residents on the one hand and illegals on the other. - 2:45 PM
I am a flat tax man too. EVERYONE should pay too - even if they have to borrow to do it. The poor be damned - they have a stake in this country too - and our welfare class lives in relative luxury compared to the poor of some other countries.
I propose some number crunching for you Captain - assume total elimination of welfare spending. Assume the monies spent on welfare are redirected at our national debt. How long before we are debt free? I think most people would be shocked at how much the liberal poverty industry is costing us. - 3:05 PM
- Barcs said...
I am all for simplicity.
But I do have a question about it for an economist (of which I am not).
Is putting all the eggs in one basket a good idea?? Today the gov gets taxes from a variety of areas. Some are more affected than others by say a recession. A sales tax is based on sales which disappear when times are tough. Would leaning on a single tax (whatever it is) cause problems in some situations???
And second (ok 2 questions), does doing a single tax.... with no deductions disappear one of the tools the government can use to affect behavior (to the positive or negative). Like a sin tax to reduce smoking/drinking. Or credits to make charitable donations cheaper??
I like a flat tax idea, but are these (and others) unintended consequences of it? And how will they affect us?? - 4:50 PM
- Barcs said...
Socrates, the great thing about arguing for the poor..... is that everything disproportionally hurts them so you always have an argument about how people are being mean to them.
A flat sales tax is a good example. Imposing one is bad for the poor because the marginal dollar as you state affects them more.
On the other hand, Here in Canada, we went from a 7% National sales tax down to 5%. And you should have heard the wails from people how it disproportionally helped the rich since they spent more.
The same argument from both sides whether you increase or reduce such a tax. It hurts the poor.
Neat little package huh??
I much more prefer the flat tax, Today I am forced to move income around, buy things like RRSP's etc to try to maximize my income without paying more income tax by moving up a tax bracket. My time would be much better spent just working maximizing income, not worrying about trying to tax shelter it. And on top of that, I would have access to it to spend it or invest it rather than it being stuck in a tax shelter. Either of which would increase both the number of jobs and the wages of the "poor".
I also dispute the definition of "poor" that is used today. Am artificial poverty line where one can own a big screen tv and a fancy car and home is quite possibly one of the stupidest things people have come up with.
Poor is what my grandpa went through being bore into a household of 5.. and 2 hired men. Who lived in a house the size of my bedroom. Poor is when he at the age of 13 took the janitorial job at school because the family needed money. Poor was when my Great grandmother allowed herself only 4 cents a month for tea. (when was the last time that you saw someone use a teabag even twice??) Poor was when some of their neighbors trapped gophers for food.
Today poor can mean that you only have a couple 30 inch tv's instead of a couple 60 inch ones. When I went to university I was considered homeless because I lived with 4 others rather than as my own family. We had full everything. The works. But I had friends that paid 3 times what we did for living, and got less for it.
Today, My wife and I make good money. We aren't in the low income tax brackets. Most of our incomes goes back into the farm business, And what we live on puts us squarely in the "poor" category.
We need to delete the welfare system. Start over. Define poor as "People who are in genuine need" and not "He has granite counter tops and I don't"
I have no problem paying to help people survive. I worked hard to provide for the things I want in life. I think others could do the same. I don't mind paying to help people who genuinely need it.... But I have no intention of giving money to people who want to keep up with the jetsons, but only do the work of a grasshopper. - 5:18 PM
Interesting - Rasmussen just did a poll where 60% of those polled favored across-the-board spending cuts to balance the budget.
I'd go for the flat tax, but only if the income tax were made unconstitutional. The worst of all worlds would be the give the government another avenue to tax e.g. sales tax or VAT without taking the worst tax away.
You'll never get Washington to reform the income tax system or drop it for a sales tax. They want to have the power to pick winners and losers. - 6:15 PM
- Captain Capitalism said...
Hey Barcs,
That is a good question, but you can always finance shortfalls with decifit spending.
I'd prefer to avoid that. I would make a balanced budget amendment which would force cuts on government spending and not increases in revenue.
Additionally, a nation LIKE ITS PEOPLE should be saving for a rainy day.
Of course, that's expecting too much for the debt-addicted democrats and their worthless constituents. - 6:54 PM
Here's a better idea: Repeal the 16th, 17th, 19th, 24th, and 26th Amendments. Go back to the old tax system, where each state paid in proportion to its population and the peacetime Federal budget was 3% of GDP.
I doubt that 3/4 of the states would ratify this, but some states could secede (with or without the consent of Congress) and join together under a new constitution, as happened in 1776, 1789, and 1861. - 7:28 PM
- FSK said...
You missed another big point. There is no "pricing" for government because it has a monopoly.
You can compare one computer game to another, and decide to buy one or the other, or both, or neither.
With government, you have no choice. You are forced at gunpoint to pay, whether you want to or not.
If someone said "Pay me $1000 for this hamburger!", you'd probably refuse.
If someone said "Pay me $1000 for this hamburger, and I'll kill you or kidnap you if you refuse to pay!", then you might grudgingly pay.
Of course, government bureaucrats rarely explicitly say "Pay me or I'll kill you!" It's hidden under a vast bureaucracy and tax code.
All taxation is theft. - 8:14 PM
- retronomics said...
As an economist I can tell you that sales taxes deliver more consistent revenues than income taxes. People don't reduce consumption by much during a downturn, but jobs are usually lost and the unemployed don't pay income taxes. That is one of the main reasons why economists (and the OECD) recommend less income taxes and more consumption taxes. - 4:36 PM

Great for the price. We paid $83/night for a very clean room with a flat screen TV, refrigerator, and microwave. I almost spent $170/night for the Courtyard by Marriott on Broadway but I am glad I chose the Comfort Suites instead. Definitely would recommend. Good CLEAN hotel with friendly staff.
