Mitt Romney likes to fire people

As always, headlines take ideas out of context and make them sound worse than they are. In the New Hampshire campaign this January, Mitt Romney said people should be free to change health insurers if they want. Obviously, if they are unhappy with the service, a free market will provide them with choices from competitors. Hopefully, if people act rationally and keep moving their business until they are satisfied with the quality of service, the bad providers will be forced to improve or end up bankrupt. When Romney said he “likes” to fire people, what he meant to say was he likes having the right or freedom to fire people who do not provide a good service. There’s nothing wrong with this. Even Ron Paul has come out to defend Romney. Yet, in a hotly contested primary, the other candidates have picked on this as further evidence Romney is an asset-stripping exploiter of labor. He buys up companies, terminates the loyal workers and sells on the assets for a quick profit. This is not the way you want to run a country. Unless, of course, it’s being run with too many workers in high-paying jobs who fail to contribute to the wealth of the nation. Perhaps it does need a hard-nosed capitalist to fire the overpaid civil servants who contribute little and slim down the private sector workforces by refusing earmarks and direct subsidies. For the record, Mitt Romney won New Hampshire with Ron Paul in second so it must be alright to talk about firing people who deserve to be fired.  More Wealth...

The recession effect turns to bring good news too

The people in the federal government who are to maintain economic activity together with the economists say that the effect of a recession will be seen in national statistics and any trends not less than in two years. However it has proved to be the contrary in the actual counting of the national debt and unemployment levels. Under a downturn, we can see an improvement in some market sectors. For instance, as the dollar falls in its the international value, exports logoically get more competitive and we see the increase in sales. Just because it needs time for all the state and federal agencies to put their numbers together and then to build up a whole image on this baisi – we are unable to see the cages as an a appearing national pattern.  More Wealth...

Do insurers care for us?

If you look around the world, it is quickly obvious no other country runs their healthcare service quite like us. At this point, most people throw up their arms and fall about laughing. Foreigners are mostly socialist or, worse, communist and have no more idea of how to run a health service than Dracula. Those with statistics at their finger tips point out we spend far more per head on health than any other nation. Curiously, this ignores two factors. First we perform very badly in comparison with other countries. We have fewer doctors and other healthcare workers per head of population, we are more heavily dependent on drugs, and people in other developed countries enjoy better lives and live longer. So we are not getting value for money. Second, the government makes the largest contribution to paying for our healthcare. Almost 30% of the population receive their care through Medicare, Medicaid and other programs funded by the state. So two-thirds of the adult population pay twice: once to buy their own health plans and second to pay for the healthcare of others through tax.  More Wealth...

Life insurance free of taxes

Do not look at this article as a tax planning advice. Make sure you get advice from a professional who can evaluate your personal assets and be sure the advice given is valid for your situation. Here we just discuss the general principles and give some examples to make the most approximate calculations. People usually buy life coverage to get a peace of mind. Hardship can occur suddenly to everyone and many people are hit by an unexpected death and find themselves in difficulties. Therefore having a policy always looks to be the right thing. And you can find a lucky advantage of this type of insurance while reading the terms – tax-free policy aspects. This means the federal government encourages us to save and invest in our family’s prospect. So you can deduct the regular payments from your gross income before tax. With the “tax-free” investments there are going to be capital gains in case the economics is stable enough. Moreover no tax is paid on any investment income generated and no income tax is payable during the term of the policy. This is a really good advantage for all the family!  More Wealth...
