I’ve always said that you can’t separate taxes and spending, they’re like salt and pepper. A candidate’s tax policy should influence their spending, and vice-versa.

Well, I’m going to break that rule today. I’m going to overview Barack Obama’s tax proposals, just taxes, without the spending. I’ll go over spending later. Please forgive me, I have broken my own rule.

Now that we’re all over my bending of my own rules, let’s get down to business.

Taxes. One of the most hated words the government uses, no one likes to pay taxes and nearly 40% of the country gets the luxury of not paying any income taxes. Yet those citizens are the ones that will benefit most from Obama’s tax plan. Think about that for a second, people who don’t pay taxes will benefit most from Obama’s tax plan.

The Obama campaign continually touts their tax cuts for 95% of Americans.

The Tax Policy Center has already proven that number to be incorrect, around 80% of all tax units will receive no increase, not 95%. On top of that the Obama camp has redefined the word “cut.”

Cut usually means to reduce or to shorten the amount. Most people interrupt a tax cut to be a slashing of the rate they pay. However, Obama’s definition is slightly different. Obama doesn’t actually cut any rate (with the exception of income tax for senior citizens) he simply hands out government checks known as tax “credits.” Think of tax credits as mail-in-rebates, you still pay the same rate, you just get a check a few months down the road.

Obama’s tax “cuts” consist of seven tax credits, they are…

-0 tax credit (,000 a couple) to “make work pay” that phases out at income of ,000 for individuals and 0,000 per couple.

-,000 tax credit for college tuition.

-10% mortgage interest tax credit (on top of the existing mortgage interest deduction and other housing subsidies).

-”Savings” tax credit of 50% up to ,000

-An expansion of the earned-income tax credit that would allow single workers to receive as much as 5 a year, up from 5 now, and give these workers up to ,110 if they are paying child support.

-A child care credit of 50% up to ,000 of expenses a year.

-A “clean car” tax credit of up to ,000 on the purchase of certain vehicles.

All but the “clean car” credit are refundable, meaning those who don’t pay income taxes are eligible for the tax credit.

Think of it like this, you and six of your friends are sitting around your room when you ask, “anyone want a pizza, we can all chip in and get one.” All your friends say “yeah sure, let’s do it.” Unfortunately your bum friend Adam is there and he doesn’t have any money, but being the great friends that you are everyone assures Adam that he can have a few pieces despite his lack of a contribution.

When the pizza arrives Adam answers the door, hands the delivery guy the money and then eats 75% of the pizza. Everyone is furious at Adam because, despite not contributing anything to the cost of the pizza, he ate almost all of it. Obama’s plan follows the same logic.

By the way, the cost for all of those credits would rise over the next ten years by 7 billion to a staggering .054 trillion.

Obama pays for his “Robin Hood” plan by taxing the rich to death. 0,000 is the magic number for Obama, that’s where he separates middle class from the wealthy. Under Obama’s plan those making 0,000+ a year will see the following increases…

-Income tax rate from 35% to 39%

-Payroll tax increase – not a rate increase but the cap will be eliminated, meaning if you make more than 0,000 all of your income will be taxed (before it was all income up to 2,000)

-Capital gains tax increase – From 15% to 20%

-Estate tax – 45% for estates above .5 million

-Corporate tax – Close loopholes and keep at 35% (closing the loopholes is effectively a rate increase)

To put this in simple terms Obama will take from the rich (0,000+/year) and give to the poor/middle class (normally those who make ,000 or less a year).

So how does the rate increase on personal income effect small business? Great question, and I’ve got a great answer…it’s going to suck to be a small business.

Obama and Joe Biden have made it a point to pull the statistic out that 95% of small businesses make less than 0,000 a year. While that’s true it’s not all too important. The important statistic to look at is 60% of all small business income falls into the 0,000 bracket. Those larger small business are the ones employing the majority of workers.

S Corporations (small businesses) that make more than 0,000 a year will see a rate increase from 35% to 39.6%. However if you’re a sole proprietor it’s even worse. A sole proprietor is someone who is self employed and their business has no separate existence from their owner, under Obama’s plan their tax rate would range from 50.3% to 54.9% (it depends on the payroll tax). The reason their tax rate is so high is because they have to pay income tax and self employment tax (social security and medicare), combine the two and you’ve got a tax rate of up to 54.9%. Under McCain’s plan their rate would stay at 37.9%.

The other important point is that Obama-Biden say that small businesses will thrive under them. That might be correct until they reach an income of 0,000 or greater. What’s the point of promoting and supporting small businesses when you’re going to tax them at near historic heights when they reach a milestone of income? It’s taxing success.

Obama creates a disincentive for innovation and growth. What small business owner would purchase another small business or expand their own when 40% of their income would be taxed? Especially when they are giving it a government that has a 9% approval rating.

Also under the header of business is corporations. Obama would have a field day taxing corporations. He concedes that our corporate tax rate is the second highest in the world yet he says no corporation actually pays that amount because of loopholes in the code. Obama will fix those loopholes yet keep the rate at 35%. So is good or bad that the rate is so high? Closing the loopholes and not lowering the rate accordingly is effectively a rate increase.

Obama would also increase taxes on corporation’s overseas profits. Currently if a business has a foreign subsidiary and they bring those profits back to the states, it’s taxed at the corporate rate of 35%. They can choose to defer those profits and not bring them back, thus avoiding the taxation. Obama would repeal this, taxing businesses for profits made overseas whether they’re brought back or not. Japan has a similar taxation in place, yet they are considering repealing it.

There was a bill passed a few years ago that experimented with another solution to foreign profits. It was called the 2004 American Jobs Creation Act, it taxed foreign profits brought back to the states at 5.25%, instead of the corporate rate of 35%. The results were astounding. An estimated 2 billion flooded back into the United States through businesses. This allowed companies to invest that money here instead of abroad. It resulted in government revenues of billion. The lower tax rate worked because corporations finally brought the money back. Before they would reinvest it in the foreign country to avoid the high tax.

And finally energy taxes. Despite the falling price of oil, higher government taxation still has the ability to increase prices at the pump, and Obama’s plan does just that.

For starters Obama wants a windfall profits tax that would cost the oil companies billion. I can guarantee you that cost will be trickled down to consumers. The energy industry is an ever changing field that is extraordinarily expensive, oil companies save as much money as possible so they won’t go bankrupt in the future. We tried a windfall profits tax before, and it failed. Domestic oil production went down, imports went up; the exact opposite of what Obama has promised. What makes Obama think that will change?

The two other tax increases effect more than just the energy industry. He’ll raise the dividend rate from 15% to 20% and the corporate tax will stay at 35% with closed loopholes.

He also wants to institute a cap and trade that will force oil companies to pay for the emissions they produce. This is an excise tax, and like most excise taxes this too will be paid by the consumer in the form of higher prices.

A major difference in energy policy between Obama and McCain is the ethanol tariff. Currently ethanol imported into the States is subject to a 54 cent tariff. McCain wants to repeal that tax, Obama wants to keep it in place to support corn based ethanol. The problem is corn based ethanol is nonsensical; it only has an energy ratio of 1.3-1, meaning it barely outputs more energy than it takes to create. Sugar based ethanol which is produced by South American countries, namely Columbia, has an energy ratio of 8-1, it’s very energy efficient, yet it suffers from a large tariff. If Obama is so concerned with energy independence and clean fuels he should promise to lift the ethanol tariff.

The main theme of Obama’s tax policies can be simplified to one statement; the rich should pay more because they have more to pay. As Joe Biden put it, Obama supports tax cuts (actually tax credits) to the middle class and small businesses “not because it’s fair, it’s what makes the economy grow.”

That might be true, but once those middle class families and small businesses hit the 0,000 mark, that growth suddenly comes to a halt.

Do you know that you can create a very successful marketing business with very little money or experience? The truth is that everyone is able to do it. Yet, there are several things you need to remember.

First of all, consider the failure rate. Most people who venture into online business opportunities do so to make money, yet they rarely do.

 

Why?

 

Well, this can be down to a number of things, but the most important factor is lack of experience and lack of support. The main principles of home based business opportunities are to create a downline and to promote products. This gives many entrepreneurs a huge responsibility to themselves and to the individuals that eventually form their downline.

 

The person who initially promotes the business opportunity to others will promote ethical practices, full training and support and the ability to duplicate their success.

Yet, often this never materializes. The reason for this is that your sponsor is typically too busy to give you the time that you need and the cost to them of helping you can be greater than the perceived gain.

 

It is therefore vital that you find someone you can trust and who is willing to share their knowledge and experience of starting a home based business. Research the many opportunities out there and find a program that encourages ongoing support. Often this will be financial, so find a program that rewards your sponsor with a commission over-ride.

 

This approach gives your sponsor a vested interest in your success and they are far more likely to help you succeed.

Your success is their success.

 

You need to consider your knowledge of the market. If you are a compete newbie, you need to find a program that can provide you with an income but also offers training and support. After all, how else are you going to learn about the business or the marketing techniques and strategies you need to adopt for success?

 

The program should offer something that you are interested in. If you hate nutrition products, don’t get involved with a nutrition business – you need to have a passion for the product you are selling. If you don’t believe in your product, why would others?

 

Start off small! Most people bite off more than they can chew and end up becoming frustrated. This in turn leads to failure. It is vital that any new entrepreneur becomes an expert in their chosen field and dedicates their time and effort to creating a successful business.

 

Spend time promoting your business using articles, social networking and free classifieds. Throwing money at Pay Per Click advertising straight away is going to cause problems.

 

Accounting processes form a vital part of any business and cannot be ignored under any circumstances. Maintenance of proper accounts requires an in depth knowledge of accounting norms and practices and only a trained employee can perform this job in a satisfactory manner. You will need to have a full fledged accounting department in your enterprise to complete the accounting tasks that are a part and parcel of all business related transactions. However, instead of investing in a lot of time and money in doing so, you can also consider outsourcing this part of your business to an outside party.

Outsourcing accounting jobs will not only take away a lot of stress that comes with running a business but will also turn out to be quite lucrative for you in the long run. This is because you will be able to get your accounts in order without having to spend on maintaining a workforce.

All that you will be required to do is to call in an accounting firm when you require their services and assign projects to them in exchange for a nominal fee.

You will not have to bear the responsibility of handling a massive workforce and addressing their grievances. Thus it will enable you to pay absolute attention to your area of specialization. Your attention will not be divided into different departments and this will allow you to develop your core competencies in the best possible way. Managers can focus on their future plans and ways to excel in their main activity instead of being caught up in maintaining and checking accounts.

With the mass usage of the internet, outsourcing has been allocated to worldwide locations and is no longer restricted to your own country.

Developing nations like India are used for outsourcing accounting work and you are able to get the required work done at a significantly lower price than you would have paid in your nation. This is very beneficial when it comes to making your business a successful and profitable venture as your working expenses will be considerably reduced. Outsourcing makes it possible for you to get important accounting work done in a cost effective manner. You can have access to better qualified and more proficient employees.

By outsourcing accounting, you will be able to have access to newer and more innovative accounting practices and technologies that you would not have otherwise been aware of. This is possible because an accounting firm’s main job and area of specialization is the business of accounting due to which it is able to conduct research and remain abreast of the latest market trends in accounting. A normal business cannot do so because of its divested attention in other more important activities that it specializes in.

Accounting firms employ people who are the best in the business and are able to work without making any kind of errors or mistakes. They can retain better qualified employees by paying them higher salaries. Any other firm can only have a small accounting department with relatively lower amount of funds.
