DOWN WITH INCOME TAX!

I just heard about a grassroots movement that started in 1995. FairTax.org is a group that is advocating for the removal of the Federal Tax system as we know it, and replacing it with a national sales tax. How could that work? Well, they have a great video that is on youtube.com and explains the whole thing.


IT MAKES SENSE! Spend money, pay taxes. No more fileing taxes, or people getting away with tax evasion. Another great idea is that the FairTax only is taken one time. USED goods are not taxed twice. Does "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" sound like a good idea now? But that is not all. Because the producers of goods pay less taxes, the cost of goods will acutally go DOWN... Watch the video... this is a great proposal in congress.



GRASSROOTS ACTION! --> IF you agree with this idea, e-mail or contact your congressional leaders and tell them. If they don't support it, vote for people that do. This is not going to happen overnight, but long term, it will. The website, http://www.fairtax.org/ has all of the tools that you will need to find if your representatives and senators support this legislation.

If there ever was an issue that I feel motivated to support, this is it! Because it directly will impact every person that I know. Our country would be better off with a FairTax system.

I would love to hear your comments... please view the video first though. :-)

Project Managers... In Demand...

Today, there was an encouraging article in Computerworld regarding Project Managers being in demand. This is good news for me, one who is looking toward being a project manager.

The article also gave some great ideas on how to stand out in the crowd as a project manager. Some of the suggestions that were included are to get certifications, know how to deal with crisis situations, and how to be fiscally responsible in projects.

It is a good article, and I thought that I should post a reflection on it. It can be found at: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=printArticleBasic&articleId=284769
