They're easily taken advantage of just like H1 visa folks. People can cry about expectations all they want but the real world isn't the world people expect.   If there is advantage to be taken some people will take it. And it's not DACA getting the better end of the stick that I can assure you.    As someone who consults executives and leads companies through transformation - forget the world you *want and expect*. First we deal with the world *that is* and we're honest so we can change it.    Expecting others to do what you wish is a redline throttle into a brick wall. What you want or expect doesn't fucking matter so drop it. Get real with the field you're given to work with. Then change that.
I was skeptical going by the title alone, but after having read it, he makes some surprisingly good points.    If the regulations are too stifling, then they need to be reformed.  No one wants to go back to the bad old days of taxicabs.  But there's no question that they're scofflaws.
It does sometimes open one day the same as it closed the previous day.  Take a look at ESCA, it closed October 29th at 4.50, at opened November 1st at 4.50.  It's more likely to change prices overnight than it is between two successive ticks during the day, because a lot more time passes, in which news can come out, and in which people can reevaluate the stock.
"&gt; How does this reflect upon 8 years of the AHCA?  It's a good question but I suspect the answer is ""not good"".  It had a few things to improve our circus of a healthcare system but mainly focused on getting more people into the dysfunctional tent."
"Except that Shamu is the Sea World brand.  This is like if for some reason people got angry about Mickey Mouse, would Disney surrender that icon?  Sea World has been built on Shamu, and Sea World executives will estimate that were it not for the orca shows, their park would see massively reduced attendance anyway.  They may have hard numbers, they may not, but if they see their attendance shrinking less than they think it would shrink were the shows not there, then they won't do it.  The idea of ""we'll be the good guys then"" won't sit well with executives, because they can't quantify it - will they be the good guys, or won't they?  They've already made an enemy out of the animal rights people, they may think the animal rights people will just want more out of them after getting some concessions, so they're going to dig in and not even start the concessions.  They may be destroying themselves, or maybe their business model is just being destroyed by moving technology and social progressions.  Bullfighting-ring owners had to deal with it in Spain, Sea World has to deal with it here.  Sorry, sometimes this happens to a business."
Yes, it's true (from a BB perspective).  This isn't the 80's where M&amp;A's are the money makers.  This isn't the 90's where IPO's are the cash cows.  Going forward the new products, especially the OTC derivatives market and FI are going to be where a lot of resources are pooled and where revenues are generated.  Ask yourself the question, why do you want to go into equity research as opposed to another product?
Imagine if the postal service set up free wi fi at each office supported by ads. Right now those clicks could be paying offset the debts and provide access to those in the rural areas.  Then add the schools and government buildings we might be higher in the internet food change.
"We just got a chick-fil-a competitor called [PDQ](http://www.eatpdq.com/index.php?id=2). The fast-food-ish restaurant  doesn't have a freezer or a microwave, they bread their own chicken, and cut their own fries. I know this because the entire kitchen is completely open. The only thing I'm not certain about is the caloric / nutrient info for their menu. I've looked and haven't been able to find anything on it anywhere.   McDonalds/Wendys/Burger King better wake up and smell the pseudo-bacon cooking too. Chains like in-n-out, five guys, and smash burger are dominating the mid-tier of burgers while cook-out is emerging as a serious threat to the lower tier. Cookout is exploding in the South East because their food is absolutely delicious and you can get a ""cookout tray"" with a burger, two sides, and a drink for about $5.50.   The old giants of fast-food are in trouble and it's about damned time."
"This is dire stuff for my fellow workaholics.  From the article:  ""Now it seems that clocking up more than 55 hours a week means a 40% higher chance of developing an irregular heartbeat, known as atrial fibrillation (AF), when compared to those with a better work-life balance."""
Please expanded on your reasoning and which side you are defending (pro-DACA or anti-DACA). Allowing it to remain is a slight to legal immigrants and should have gone through Congress in the first place. That being said, to remove those here presently is far to costly of an idea to entertain, both monetarily and politically. Therefore a middle road is the route that must be taken... and that requires active, and most importantly constructive, discussion. My first comment is purposely broad for this reason. Please detail a better solution that works for all parties.
&gt;London Black Cabs are acknowledged globally as the best on earth. Other than the huge cost, I have always had a very positive experience in them. So you are correct, it is not in every city on earth. London Black Cabs are still pretty awful, they are expensive and not particularly innovative. Minicabs throughout the UK are far better in my view, you can book them in advance, pay online, use an app to see where they are and who is coming, or get a call/text etc.. In short, minicabs tend to be cheaper and generally offer more efficient service. They are also regulated far less strictly, I could go and start driving a minicab fairly easily, no so much for black cabs. &gt;I have been to 40% of countries in the world, and travel extensively for business and vacations. Taxis are almost universally awful. I have had negative experiences on every continent. Compare them to the uber equivalent though, taxis in Hong Kong are ubiquitous and cheap, but they aren't particularly pleasant, Uber somehow manages to be worse. Uber in Berlin was at best on a par with a normal Cab, in Glasgow it was more expensive.. In short uber feels like another minicab firm, the local standard seems more relevant because there isn't a consistent 'Uber' standard.. &gt;As a man, I have felt threatened on occasions and realized that no one knows I am in this taxi, I can only imagine what women go through. I haven't (possibly the Philippines once or twice..) but I don't really feel significantly safer in an Uber.. &gt;I am no fan of how Uber is run, but the concept is here to stay. Taxis will never be able to compete with the traceability and accountability. Whether it is Uber or a competitor, that is what the world will use. But cab companies already do, I can see who my driver is, what the registration is with my local cab company, moreover I can call the cab company, schedule a pick up for two weeks time for a trip to the airport and know what I'm paying.
"The dollar menu became the ""sort of a dollar, or maybe $1.39, or sometimes $1.49"" ... went tonight to get dinner for the family, buck doubles are $1.39 and the chicken is $1.69. I got so pissed at the price creep I drove down to Chik-fil-a. Paid more, but at least they don't constantly try to nickle and dime me."
"Owning any sort of business is an absolute nightmare for a ""US Person"" not on US soil. It has nothing to do with money, but the fact that compliance costs are huge and it's only getting worse with the whole fatca nonesense."
Here's a nice middle ground: give everyone who falls under DACA full citizenship ~~and is~~ *provided they are* employed*, are in school,* or ~~is~~ *are* actively seeking employment, and then repeal DACA.  Edited for clarity.
Yep, I agree, and that has basically been my point in this thread.  Without the Orca shows there just isn't a real point to SeaWorld.  People that say they'd go there more if not for the moral quandary are full of crap - without the Orca shows, no one is going to go out of their way for SeaWorld.  Just like Ringling Brothers without elephants, they're a dead idea.
"It's a shame because there's a lot more to SeaWorld than just orca shows. Along with research, educations, and conservation of marine life, they're pretty much the only places where endangered marine animals that are injured or orphaned can be taken to be rehabilitated and released. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaWorld#Animal_rescue_and_rehabilitation_program  SeaWorld really is a unique place that has instrumental in protecting marine life, and it's rescued far more animals than anyone could claim they've harmed.  We're living in a time when use of animals for entertainment is becoming no longer palatable for much of our society, but Blackfish was as one sided as activist ""documentaries"" typically are. It was only one side of the whole story."
Unfortunately I live in a second tier city with Comcast as the sole option. When I used to live in D.C. and Chicago there were multiple choices (AT&amp;T U-Verse, VZW Fios).  Even still, I dropped Comcast for DirecTV + DSL. There is a slight difference in speed at the top end, but I have not had any issues with streaming TV or Movies or Xbox online.
Excavators are adaptable machines and they can be utilized as a part of an assortment of ways. Other than burrowing or uncovering they can likewise be utilized to destroy dividers, lift inconvenient articles like logs, empty mud and slop out of pits and pools and so forth.
I understand the aggression because the logic permeates into individual income taxes and can really negatively affect lives. I mean I really essentially at some point am being forced to chose between sane financial stability or a feeling of identity of the country I am from. I hate that I'm in that position and I hate the politicians and the people that enable them even more. FATCA passed the Senate with 80 votes. It was part of a jobs bill, so GOP went against it in the House, but they still supported that position. They only changed their tune about that one just last year after allowing both parties to trample all over citizens living abroad. But there's only a few million of us and it's distributed across states, so our votes just don't matter.
"Something about artificially limiting the supply of taxicabs via the medallion system always rubbed me the wrong way, and so this makes me smile a little.  I figure, set the standards for taxicabs and then let anyone who wants to be a cabbie purchase a license from the city for a reasonable fee, and then let the market sort everything else out.  In this case, Uber and Lyft seem to be ""the market"", finally sorting things out."

"In fact, according to this [npr article](http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2012/07/19/157047211/six-policies-economists-love-and-politicians-hate), several economic professors assert that eliminating the corporate income tax is one of the mentioned policies that ""economists love"".  &gt; If companies reinvest the money into their businesses, that's good. Don't tax companies in an effort to tax rich people.  Business taxes discourage capital investments that would otherwise lead to long term productivity growth. As politifact even admitted, it would appear that economists agree that these tax cuts improves economic growth. Unfortunately Politifact has a history of being deceptive with their ""fact"" checking categorizations when in reality there is a significant amount of nuance to analyzing these types of political statements."
http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/07/19/157047211/six-policies-economists-love-and-politicians-hate  &gt; Three: Eliminate the corporate income tax. Completely. If companies reinvest the money into their businesses, that's good. Don't tax companies in an effort to tax rich people.  &gt;Four: Eliminate all income and payroll taxes. All of them. For everyone. Taxes discourage whatever you're taxing, but we like income, so why tax it? Payroll taxes discourage creating jobs. Not such a good idea. Instead, impose a consumption tax, designed to be progressive to protect lower-income households.  http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/07/18/156928675/episode-387-the-no-brainer-economic-platform
You won't get a meaningful answer on #1, partially because it's politically charged, and partially because there are too many  unknowns.    To begin with, the policy itself is not fleshed out.  Even if it were, its impact would be open to debate.  Lowering the corporate tax rate will be accompanied by closing certain loopholes, more companies paying US tax instead of shifting income abroad, and it will also impact the level of economic growth.  Each of those assumptions will have a massive impact on the ultimate effect on the debt.
As per the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty (the “Treaty”), a U.S. corporation carrying on business in Canada is only subject to taxation on income earned in Canada through a fixed place of business or permanent establishment. Therefore, if a U.S. company does not have a permanent establishment (PE) in Canada then their Canadian source business income is not subject to Canadian federal tax. https://www.fin.gc.ca/treaties-conventions/USA_-eng.asp
"I think you are giving Jamie Dimon too much credit for actually having his thoughts together before making these kind of comments.  When he emphasizes ""business tax scheme"" he means low corporate taxes. His call for ""regulatory reform"" is just the usual banker B.S. that they desperately need to be able to gamble with other people's money to make bad mortgage loans and other such crap.  The connection to very high *personal* taxes to pay for infrastructure would need to be explicit for me to believe Dimon was making it.  Really, at least in these public-facing statements, Dimon is pretty stupid compared to what you might think a CEO of a major bank would be. Maybe Dimon is brilliant in some other way, but putting economic analysis into words is not it.  If the 2008 crisis taught us nothing else, it is that there are a lot of really stupid billionaires. https://medium.com/bull-market/digital-locability-and-interocular-trauma-973397192975"
"&gt; Taxing wealth is an easy idea, but I don't think it can ever work. Wealth is too easily hidden, transformed, or revalued.  You should Google the effective corporate tax rates. It's much much easier to hide corporate profits or find loopholes than to tax individual income.  Also, your allegory about Kleenex makes zero sense whatsoever. These aren't things the ""owners"" would normally consume, of course not. However, that's a super weird way to define a business. I trust a sole proprietor that stocks vending machines wouldn't ""consume"" all these beverage products on their own, but a business works that way.  A corporation isn't its own entity, it is actively managed by people hired by the shareholders. It doesn't make its own decisions, it isn't a self-perpetuating machine. Why do we tax it as if it does? Tax income for people. Making the argument people will find loopholes is just as ludicrous. Corporations find tax loopholes anyway, but I find it pretty ridiculous to think ""we can't make that a law because people will break it"". Then make it so people can't break it.  As it stands, it's easier to find loopholes and write-offs as a corporation than an individual anyway, and the consequences as a corporation are insignificant to shareholders if they do get caught  Taxing individual wealth isn't the easy idea. Double-taxing an arbitrary intermediary is."
All fair points.  I don't mean to say that Jamie Dimon is smart or responsible, and it is possible that he intends high personal taxes and low corporate taxes, although even high personal taxes would be a controversial view among today's conservative/business groups.  In my experience with senior corporate executives (and it is a LOT of experience), they are a lot like artists in that they tend to be highly skilled and knowledgeable within their domain, but they actually don't have a good sense of how politics works -- they may have studied psychology but not sociology, government, or history -- and so they subscribe to political views that are naive in the same way that their understanding of astrophysics is unsophisticated.  Only they don't pontificate about astrophysics and attempt to change the laws of physics, both of which they DO do with politics.
US corporate tax rates are extremely low- some of the lowest in the developed world.  These inversions are a demonstration of how polarization/gridlock in Congress is practically as good for the rich as when their favored party has control. You don't need to be able to buy all of Congress, just enough so that they can't effectively regulate the economy and plug up these legal holes.
Yeah you're right, all the corporations doing this don't add up to trillions at all. And corporate interests have nothing to do with war profiteering or big money lobbying in politics. Let's just keep subsidizing profitable businesses, tax breaks and incentives so they don't pay an effective tax in the US either. But let us keep income tax pretty much unchanged for 95% of the population.
"&gt;Our rating  &gt;In a Journal Sentinel op-ed, Trump said: ""In 1986, President Ronald Reagan"" cut the business tax rate to 34 percent and ""it worked -- our economy boomed, the middle class thrived and median family income increased.""  &gt;Some economists say the corporate rate reduction, from 46 percent, did help lead to economic growth and higher income. But it wasn’t necessarily any more important than a cut -- from 50 percent to 28 percent -- in the top individual income tax rate that was part of the same 1986 package that included other tax changes, as well.  &gt;More importantly, many other factors beyond tax cuts -- demographics, immigration, trade policy and more -- bear on the economy.  &gt;Trump’s statement contains only an element of truth -- our definition of Mostly False.  In case you still believed anything this toilet bowl of a website publishes."
I'm implying that the wealthiest among is, including corporations, have been paying less in taxes than at anytime in recent history.  And still, the rich are getting an ever larger share to to income/wealth.  Progressive taxation is a good thing.
"&gt;  they need to raise the tax on capital gains and other investment income  Good luck getting a republican house and senate to vote for this.  Change ""they need to"" to ""people need to"" because if you don't vote, like half the country, this won't change anytime soon."
Does anyone know is it wise to invest money in NPS for tax saving ? This is primarily opinion based. NPS is efficient retirement plan, allows to invest into Index equities with almost NIL expense ratios. The additional tax breaks makes the overall returns attractive. The down side is 40% of corpus withdrawal is tax free, the balance 60% is taxable; alternatively one can buy annuity to make it tax free.
You make the investment in Jan 2016. Assuming the SEIS certificate is issued before 5th April 2016, then you will enter the SEIS investment on your 2015-2016 tax return and claim the relief in that year. If the certificate is not issued in time then you will enter it in the 2016-2017 tax return and get the relief then. Note: I am assuming that the startup is already registered with the SEIS scheme by someone else - because if you are asking about how to go about that, I don't think that is an issue of personal finance.
What everyone else is missing is that it's 9% paid with after tax money. Any income you earn on an investment will also be taxed, so you'd need to make a fair bit more than 9% in order to break even with paying off your loan. For example, if your tax bracket is 20%, you have to earn $1.36 for every $1 in loan payment.  Take $100 x 0.09 x 1.36 = $12.24 in pre-tax earnings just for interest every year on $100. Multiply that out for whatever the size  Pay off your loans first - it's a no-brainer.
"They used to pay over 90% during the glorious 30s (1940-1970). All of this is about the capture of politicians by the rich (both Democrats and Republicans) and the balance of power between labor and capital which has tilted on favor of capital. As Warren buffet cheekily said: ""there is a class war and we are winning it"". With the free movement if capital, it's super easy for the super rich to get their money out of a country.  Now regarding the""fairness"" of taxes and their level, if you posit that taxes take away your hard earned work, then both 10% and 90% are unacceptable. It's like a thief arguing he only stole 10% of a bank, how is it more or less acceptable?   Of course, I don't subscribe to this logic at all, I just want to point out that either any level of taxation is fair, regardless of the level, or unfair. There aren't any ""in betweens"".   To finish, I would use market mechanisms to set taxation. Taxes on the super rich should be gradually increased until there is a noticeable effect on productive investment."

"If you pay 20% tax now and none later or if you pay no tax now and 20% later, it doesn't make a difference.  Mathematically, it's the same. You have to guess about which tax rate (now vs later) will be higher for you in order for you to make the best choice.  Predicting tax rates 40 years in advance is hard.  Everybody pretends like they can do this accurately. I would suggest going half and half. If you have 20k and put half in pre-tax (10k in) and half in post-tax (only 8k in) you end up with 18k total in which is right in the middle of where you would be if you went with the whole 20k in either extreme.  It would also leave you owing 2k in tax rather than the possible 4k in tax if you had gone with all pre-tax. When you split down the middle, you are guaranteed to have 50% in the ""right"" side, the side with the best outcome. Being guaranteed to be 50% on the right side is pretty good compared to maybe being 100% on the wrong side."
