But the cost of government ?giveaways? is far higher than you may think. By Robert Morley Give me liberty or give me death!? Patrick Henry said famously. This Founding Father would likely have been shocked at the litany of taxes imposed on the modern citizens of the nation he helped shape. Today ?s Americans pay federal and state income tax, state and local sales tax, state and local property tax, federal and state unemployment tax, Social Security tax, Medicare tax and school tax. Some pay capital gains tax, dividend tax, interest tax, luxury tax, gift tax, and utility taxes such as phone tax, which includes state and local tax, state and local surcharge taxes, federal excise tax, universal service fee tax, possibly also minimum usage surcharge tax, and recurring and non-recurring charges tax?whatever that is.

2007-10-03 14:19:00 Try Stand Up MeetingsPosted: 02 Oct 2007 11:11 AM CDTTry Stand Up MeetingsProbably the biggest issue with workplace meetings is their length. Almost always, meetings take longer than is necessary. This is particularly true for those daily keep-us-up-to-date meetings.You could try killing meetings all together, or try what John Trosko suggests and hold the meetings that aren?t long and strategic with everyone standing up. Instead of sitting at a traditional conference table, we took the chairs out of the room and ran meetings while standing on our feet. Well, the length of the meetings DRASTICALLY dropped, because people didn?t want to stand for long. Meetings went from 30-60 minutes to roughly 1/2 of that while still delivering meaty content. Neat, huh?When I worked in an office briefly, I noticed this was how they held those meetings - and it really worked.Anyone else seen this work?

Seven is appealing to the court to overturn the Foxtel special-access undertaking, which sets out the terms under which third parties can access the pay-TV network.The Foxtel special-access undertaking was accepted by the ACCC in March, but Seven is set to argue in the Federal Court that the terms offered by the pay-TV operator do not offer enough protections for a...

By Brad Macdonald Ichiro Ozawa has become the power forward of Japanese politics. Together with his party, the Democratic Party of Japan (dpj), this gregarious leader is igniting tremors within Japanese politics that threaten to tumble the Liberal Democratic Party (ldp), the pro-American party that has ruled the Japanese government for more than 50 years. In July, for the first time in its half-century history, the ldp lost its majority within the upper house of Parliament. This defeat came at the hands of Ozawa and dpj. With its power and influence waxing strong thanks largely to the vibrant Ozawa, and ldp dominance over the lower house floundering, it is expected that Ozawa and the dpj will now make a play for control of the government by calling for new elections.

By Brad Macdonald The time is drawing nearer when Britain will leave the European Union. How will this development affect life on the Continent? Drastically. Over the years, Britain has been the biggest hindrance to the unification project proceeding forward. Where France and Germany had ambitious designs for European unity, Britain viewed it as a take-it-or-leave-it economic venture. This fundamental difference, coupled with Britain?s sheer size and political influence, has made London the resident counterweight to Franco-German ambition. In this role, Britain has found itself the ally of European nations worried by Franco-German ambition. For Europe?s smaller, less influential states, Britain has been both a megaphone for their anxiety and the key ally preventing them from being... More About: Today , Headlines Today , Headlines

At this fateful hour, one man stood up to Iran for peace in the Middle East. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat had established a peace treaty with Israel the year before and went on to enrage Islamic radicals by personally speaking at a meeting of the Israeli Knesset. How did Islamist Iran respond? Tehran severed all ties with Cairo in 1980. A year later, Sadat denounced the Ayatollah as a lunatic. The Egyptian president was assassinated within days.

In a report published Thursday by a German magazine, former U.S. Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Alan Greenspan warns the dollar?s days as the world?s reserve currency may be numbered, and that a trend to replace the dollar has already begun. The predictions are particularly shocking considering the source. Greenspan was the central banker responsible for overseeing the dollar?s value for over 18 years up until 2006. According to an advance copy of the interview published in Stern magazine, Greenspan said it was ?absolutely conceivable that the euro will replace the dollar as reserve currency, or will be traded as an equally important reserve currency.? If the former chairman?s words prove true, the dollar?s value could be in for a distinct downward slide. Greenspan noted that at th...
