Seven steps to help improve our economy.
1. Immediately halt all regulatory rule-making processes at the federal level. We have enough regulations now to get the job done.
2. Eliminate capital gains taxes. Eliminating these taxes would allow a free flow of investment capital that would enable countless new businesses.
3. Make every state a right-to-work state. Completely outlaw compulsory unionism. Nobody should ever have to join a union in order to work.
4. Repeal Sarbanes-Oxley. It's another jobs killer and inhibits corporate growth and profitability.
5. Institute loser pays at the federal level and urge states to do the same. This means that if you file a lawsuit against someone and you win, good for you. If you lose, you pay the other side's legal fees. Too many lawyers look at lawsuits like a lottery ticket, potential for windfall profits without much downside.
6. Eliminate most business and professional licensing requirements. Why should you need the state's permission to braid hair or to match pillows with drapes?
7. Revamp the tax code- set a date certain for the expiration of our current tax code. That will force congress to come up with a better plan.
I don't know where you cut and pasted this from since you never provide links (which you should do), but this would not do anything to help anyone except those at the top.
Do you own a business? I know I am not at the top and a few of these would help me and my small companies.
I have owned several business. The last 30 years or so , I created 2 start up businesses that are catalyst related, from scratch, made them profitable and sold them. I am working on a new start up business that creates LNG at the wellhead and at the pipe line for use in fleets (trucking/cars). We want to create a small natural gas filling station at the users site.
Clean Fuels, makes LNG, has several large refineries and ships the fuel one way and dead loads the truck back to the refinery. Our model eliminates the trucks costs. The idea is to go into a fleet, say Highway Patrol or UPS, where they have a large enough demand that they could justify a fueling station.
We created and demonstrated a pilot plant some time ago and sold several units. PGE then refused to sell us NG and we took them and several others to court ( Boone Pickens, So Gas ...) In that time PGE tried to make their own small refinery. The case lasted many years and we lost- kind of, it is complicated. When PGE couldn't make a competitive machine they agreed to sell us gas. Before the suit we had the resources needed, but the law suit was expensive. We are now looking for funding. Starting up a new business is harder than having a great idea and bringing it market. The crap you have to go through now days is ridiculous.
