How should government regulated a businesses practices?
Q. Okay let s start from the beginning. With the dying job market there will be a increased interest in alternative ways to make money for the average American. The option most Americans will probably be looking toward will be new/small businesses. The government s red tape combined with the competition makes it virtually impossible for a new business to survive. If the government were to lessen their control over small businesses by means of zoning laws, permits, inspection costs, and taxes, the possibility of creating a new business would become a more viable option for mainstream Americans.

A. An interesting and lengthy question that possibly deserves an equally lengthy answer. I have worked for various companies. Everything from a family owned business that employed 3 family members, to a large Wall Street firm that employed roughly 40,000 people. The issue that we have here is that in trying to regulate businesses, it's as if the government is trying to please everyone...and in doing so, they please no one.

What are your options when the government is a thief and will not return what it stole?
Q. Obviously taking the government to court is a non starter in the country where the government appoints the judges. Clearly if you do not have the means to pursue the government on an international arena, the only solution is peaceful non payment of anything which the government thinks you owe it in the future. That being all future avoidable taxes of any kind, including any fines or government duties. If the government does not play fair, then the only solution is to make the government redundant. Does anyone have a more acceptable solution to resolving this form of conflict? (short of stealing from the government?)

Do these cases of government debt and budget deficit indicate potential problems for the economy?
Q. Does the size of the government's debt and the size of the budget deficit indicate potential problems for the economy in any of these cases? 1. The government's debt is relatively low, but the government is running a large budget deficit as it builds a high-speed rail system to connect the major cities of the nation. 2. The government's debt is relatively high due to a recently ended deficit-financed war, but the government is now running only a small budget deficit. 3. The government's debt is relatively low, but the government is running a budget deficit to finance the interest payments on the debt.

A. Well, the first two indicate government spending which circulates money in the economy leading to a higher GDP. The third one indicates a deficit not due to government spending. The third one would have more of an impact on the economy so I would say the third one would indicate what you had asked.

A. On the Federal level, hotels are considered public spaces and hence are subject to Federal anti-discrimination laws. Other than that, hotels are largely regulated by the state government, with optional, relitively minor, "add on" regulation by the local government. For instance, hotels in Florida are generally regulated by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

How is the government's failure to settle on tax rebates going to effect your tax filing time line?

I do my own taxes and if, or rather, can I file before the government if something does not pass something does not pass? Also if I can file prior to the tax rebate passing can I refile?

A. The rebates are for 2008. The rebates have nothing to do with your 2007 taxes. The 2007 delays are due to AMT squabbling last December. If an advance check rebate comes to pass, the IRS will use the income information on your 2007 tax return to determine what amount to send you. They won't send any checks before June, so you should file before then.

Q. So the Presidential Candidate gets the required amount of electoral votes and becomes the President Elect. But what government body does it fall upon to actually appoint him as president of the United States?

Why is it when you work for the government it is acceptable to be lazy?
Q. Also, why is it so hard to get rid of lazy incompetent people when you work for the government? I have an easy government job that pays well but, I have some co-workers that think they are too good to do the little bit required of us.

A. i know lots of government workers. i think the biggest reason is your penalized for doing your job too efficiently. your work is expected to be the same every day. its easier to be consistent at 60 percent than 1-00 percent

What government assistance can my wife and I get for having twins in Michigan?
Q. My wife and I just found out we are having twins. We do not make a ton of money and I was wondering if there is any government assistance that we may qualify for. We live in Michigan and I am willing to get a night job if we need to for stuff, but any help out there would be great.

A. Wow what a d***k!! I have WIC and food stamps because it's people like HIM who take our jobs to where we can't afford anything!! Now if you were an illegal immigrant I would take his side, but yeah listen to the other person. She's got the right idea. WIC, foodstamps, medicaid, etc. Go to your local health and welfare and fill out an application. Make sure to bring in you and your wife's ids, ss cards, proof of imployment (your last two pay stubs), proof of address, you and your wife's birth certificates, and I think that's it. If you don't take these, they won't help you as much and will just ask you to come back at a later time. They will be able to tell you. Or if anything, call them first and ask what the income limit is for applying… [cont.]
