Dialways look on the bright side of lifene: Freedom...is NOT some lofty pie-in-the-sky concept. When we have more money in our pocket rather than higher taxes, THAT is freedom. When we can drive from the North side of 86th st. to the South side without paying a toll,... THAT is freedom. When we can fly without a naked image of ourselves being taken by the government, when we can arm ourselves for sport, and to defend our homes, families and country, and when we are not told how to protect Read more [...]]]> http://www.invest-projekt.com/a-commentary-on-listen-up-perfesser-boehner/feed/ 0 http://www.invest-projekt.com/my-take-on-job/ http://www.invest-projekt.com/my-take-on-job/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:37:19 +0000 admin http://www.invest-projekt.com/my-take-on-job/ A lot of unemployed people only apply for jobs with companies that are advertising an open position. Apply to companies that aren't advertising an open position. There's less competition for attention when the hiring manager isn't being inundated with resumes. Companies are usually in need of a person for a while before they post the opening a franchise. If you're really good, companies that don't have an opening will sometimes hire you anyway just because you're really good. It may not be practical Read more [...]]]> http://www.invest-projekt.com/my-take-on-job/feed/ 0 http://www.invest-projekt.com/my-take-on-fred-siegel-how-public-unions-took-taxpayers-hostage/ http://www.invest-projekt.com/my-take-on-fred-siegel-how-public-unions-took-taxpayers-hostage/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:34:33 +0000 admin http://www.invest-projekt.com/my-take-on-fred-siegel-how-public-unions-took-taxpayers-hostage/ Camelot, indeed... Kennedy should be much more firmly branded with the damage he's done how to calculate roi the country with this. Never talked about in the media, I believe many people, myself included were not aware of JFK's political greed, forsaking the best interest of the country. Only in the last few years had I learned of his involvement, and recognizing it for the extremely poor decision it was, thought he may have had more honest, altruistic motives. Apparently not. This greatly diminishes Read more [...]]]> http://www.invest-projekt.com/my-take-on-fred-siegel-how-public-unions-took-taxpayers-hostage/feed/ 0 http://www.invest-projekt.com/views-on-the-new-art-of-alimony/ http://www.invest-projekt.com/views-on-the-new-art-of-alimony/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:28:55 +0000 admin http://www.invest-projekt.com/views-on-the-new-art-of-alimony/ I am in complete agreement, but there is too much money involved in this for it to ever change, and money in places you didn't know existed. The federal government pays MA to enforce child support guidelines, and they pay the state based on the amount of the child support in dollars. Divorce law is a huge business, and coping with divorce lawyers make too much money to want to change things. In MA and FL, two states I know of, divorce lawyers (through state bar associations) are actively fighting Read more [...]]]> http://www.invest-projekt.com/views-on-the-new-art-of-alimony/feed/ 0 http://www.invest-projekt.com/views-on-review-outlook-leveraging-a-hurricane/ http://www.invest-projekt.com/views-on-review-outlook-leveraging-a-hurricane/#comments Wed, 14 Mar 2012 18:55:25 +0000 admin http://www.invest-projekt.com/views-on-review-outlook-leveraging-a-hurricane/ Perhaps Warren Buffet would be willing how to calculate roi calculate the differential between the maximum federal tax rate of 35% and whatever rate he is paying as a coddled billionaire, get all his coddled millionaire and billionaire friends who are Democrats to do the same, and apply this differential to their income and donate this money to FEMA.

This particular group follows political affairs and policies that may directly affect them, and votes as a group in larger numbers than any other single bloc in the country. A politician may well tick off the blacks, or the Jews, or the Catholics, or the gays, or the Hispanics in his constituency and still survive the next election.

In the absence of facts you make up your own. You just shoot from the hip and say whatever you think sounds good even when you have no idea what you're talking about. For instance, veterans in the Detroit Symphony do get a small stipend for years of service but nobody gets twice as much as the base pay. Also, I can't believe that you people who seem to admire the free enterprise system so much complain about us using our organizational skills and knowledge to go out and Read more [...]]]> http://www.invest-projekt.com/analysis-on-orchestra-cutbacks-hit-sour-note-in-detroit/feed/ 0 http://www.invest-projekt.com/analysis-on-study-finds-extensive-waste-in-war-contracting/ http://www.invest-projekt.com/analysis-on-study-finds-extensive-waste-in-war-contracting/#comments Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:58:51 +0000 admin http://www.invest-projekt.com/analysis-on-study-finds-extensive-waste-in-war-contracting/ Kurt, while $60 billion isn't chump change, it only works out to about $6 billion per year, on average. Again, no small amount, but not surprising, either. There is waste, fraud, and marital abuse in nearly everything involving our government spending money. To eliminate this waste, fraud, and abuse we don't need better oversight of the programs, we need to end them completely. This does show, thought, that our military is good for only one thing - killing people and breaking things.

I cofounded my company right after I finish college and can barely write up a reasonable simple business plan plan. After MBA school, I am more equipped in writing such a plan as well as all the accounting rules needed to go along with the business. Whats more, most of my classmates are in PE and VC fields and its a lot easier to call them up and get a response. Most entrepreneur in their first or second startups will have problems getting in touch or Read more [...]]]> http://www.invest-projekt.com/views-on-twitter-co/feed/ 0
