I am far from being any sort of economic authority.  I have owned and managed businesses all my life.  I always have lived within my means, never purchasing more than I can afford. My credit card debt has always been little or none.

The economic disaster that this country is going through frustrates and infuriates me.  Spending more then you have has and always will be a recipe for disaster.  Cutting spending without a plan to pay off current debt only brings on more debt.  Entitlement programs, while needed for the poor and needy, is abused and bureaucratic red tape spends more of the money managing the program than actually providing the funds to the people that truly need it.

I have a recipe to bring in the needed funds to secure the future for the US Economy.  Do away with the current income tax.  No more Internal Revenue Service.  Institute a flat tax on all purchases, period.  The more you spend , the more you pay.  The rich will be equally taxed, as would the poor and middle class.  The economy would take a huge and immediate influx of needed capital and the government would see probably an increase in tax revenue.

Stay tuned for my next blog post on how businesses are taxed.

Alan discusses how insurance companies set workers compensation rates. Part of it depends on the type of work you do and how risky it is. Insurance companies have rating profiles based on your profession. The salary you pay your employees also determine your cost for workers comp. Watch our video and here it straight from Alan’s mouth.

Did you know that if you have employees in New York that you need to have a worker’s compensation insurance policy in addition to disability insurance.

Bottom line: check with your state to make sure that you have the right coverage.  Every state has different rules, make sure you know what you need.
