High Tax, High Debt Could Cripple Small Business
Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus has a personal stake in small business, creating jobs and living the American dream. He knows first hand what it means to start with nothing and then through hard work and determination, create a thriving business enterprise that is world class and has given rise to many jobs that are such an integral part of a thriving economy.
That is why he is so concerned with the direction the country is going with the massive stimulus spending spree. He advocates that not one job has been created by it. In response to the argument that jobs have been saved, he is not moved by this. The metric he values is job creation, not simply allowing someone who already has a job to keep it.
Marcus is advocating business tax cuts that will allow companies to hire workers and expand their equipment and facilities. He feels it is time for the administration in Washington to meet with business owners and work together to find solutions to hire unemployed workers. Two key points he makes are that we need to keep tax cuts in place for small business and at the same time reign in the massing spending initiatives that are not creating jobs but are increasing national debt.

Chrysler UAW Members Drinking and Smoking Weed at Lunch
Thanks to the attentiveness of a local Jefferson NC Fox News undercover film crew, a group of Chrysler workers have been exposed on a lunch break that includes consuming alcohol from the local liquor store and smoking marijuana. It is unclear how the effects of these stimulants did not catch the attention of plant management.
The group headed to the parking lot of the local public park after stopping by the liquor store. This liquid and smoke filled daily lunch routine was documented on video by the film crew for more than a week. Even the drivers of the vehicles were actively consuming without regard to their impaired state while behind the wheel.
Fox News showed the footage to Chrysler which has prompted an investigation. They have responded that they were disturbed with what they saw and are taking this very seriously, and will take appropriate action for what they deem to be unacceptable behavior.

$75,000 Is the “Perfect Salary for Happiness”
A recent study reported by the Wall Street Journal looking at the relationship between salary and happiness has concluded that 75,000 dollars a year is the point at which people remain most happy. Above this number there is no measurable increase in one’s personal satisfaction.
It doesn’t mean that you will be less happy if your earn more, just that you won’t be any happier above the $75,000 mark. So if you count yourself among those in this group, take a moment to reflect on how lucky you are. On second thought, you are probably already happy so that won’t be necessary.
