Okay, so this money was previously earned, there is no income to tax. Yeah, I'm no fan of trust fund kids either, but that's a different subject. This kid wasn't the one who earned the wealth, and those that did...didn't they pay taxes on the income?
Keeping costs as low as possible, is simple logic, and you can't compete well without doing that.
That's proof that they don't create jobs when they get tax rebates and at best, lower prices (though in practice, even that doesn't happen).
That was the point I was replying to, and it seems you are agreeing with my point, even if you don't agree with the manner in which I phrased it.
You've obviously never run a business. Keeping costs as low as possible is no indication of if you're hiring or not. Please go back to school and learn something.
You miss his point. The truly wealthy don't pay income tax, so it doesn't matter how high the marginal tax rate is on income, it has no impact on the truly wealthy.
Really? Do you have names of any individuals, or are you just making shit up?
Two can play at that game, and then the question comes up, what exactly is the optimum tax rate where we'd do best as a nation? So many here are focused with their eat the rich envy, and have done no homework on really is the right answer.
We gave the rich billions, and they didn't create a single new job for it. When Exxon or Mobile take in 10 billion in profit in a quarter, do they add new jobs? No. They still try to keep costs as low as possible to repeat the performance next quarter.
We who? They didn't?...bullshit. As for Exxon, Mobile, and the others, we need to stop subsidizing them all.
Keeping costs as low as possible, is simple logic, and you can't compete well without doing that. The problem driven by Wall Street, is the one you pointed to, making your quarterly numbers is not always in the best interest of the shareholders, or the company in the long term.
You obviously weren't living the same life as the majority of Americans during Reagan's administration. Even left leaning CNN and MSN give Reagan some credit here.
Yes, the parent that I responded to mentioned military bases, and that has my point was that that doesn't matter. So, basically, you're agreeing with what I stated.
I'm curious what evidence you have regarding what the framers, and them requiring both parents to be U.S. citizens. It wasn't the case 21 years ago when I went through this with my own kid. Was it previously?
The question of military installations is irrelevant. The only requirement is to have a genetic U.S. citizen parent. Went through this with my own kid 21 years ago.
romney and ryan's tax returns are a far bigger issue. How they manage their finances are something they need to be transparent about and they are not.
I'm less concerned with anyone's tax returns than I am with how they managed or mismanaged the budgets they were given while in office. Where has the deficit gone over the last three years? Can't stand on your record...attack the other guy, I see how it is.
My own daughter was born overseas, and has one of these Consular Report of Birth Abroad (FS-240) birth certificates. It makes no difference if the child was born on or off of a military installation, only that one of the parents is already a U.S. citizen, and the genetic parent of that kid.
What they really mean is they were too lazy to write "catch code."
I'm not saying it isn't the programmers fault but... Unless you know this first hand, I'd suggest that you're pointing a finger w/o enough evidence. Sure, the programmer probably made a coding error, or didn't put in error checking. Do you know that (s)he wasn't handed a poor set of requirements? Do you know that Knight didn't ask/pay for the cheap option instead of one with all the bells & whistles (error checking)?
I've worked on enough projects to know that there's a constant struggle between engineering and management. Engineers would like to create the best product we can, and management is always trying to get the product out the door as quick and cheaply as possible. At some point, they compromise, or management just says, you have until tomorrow or you can find another job (I'm only slightly exaggerating). I've seen Configuration Management load the wrong version of code into a delivery. I've seen requirements specs where you couldn't begin to guess what the customer really wanted.
Do you know it was the developers fault? It could have been poor requirements. Maybe the customer was offered several choices, and decided to go with the cheap one that didn't include all of the needed error checking.
This is a lesson in risk management, not only for the financial industry, but any company. Whenever your dealing with the possibility of a large financial loss, or potential harm to life, or property, a risk mitigation plan should be implemented. We do this for every project we work on.
Few customers have the knowledge and experience to touch the hardware and see if it's "done right". If they had that much expertise in-house, they'd probably just set it up themselves.
Okay, I don't have any data to back this up, do you? I know that in our case, our customers see the cloud buzzword, and so marketing puts it into the proposals, and since it's normally less expensive to outsource this, we end up going that route. It has nothing to do with our own lack of expertise, just that we're too cheap to pay for our own. Think of it like this...I can mow my own lawn, but I choose to pay the kid down the street because my time is more valuable than what it costs to pay him.
Thanks for the stereotyping. Your comment is so far off base, it's barely worth responding to.
Being a "victim" of speech is something you learn to deal with when you're in elementary school. I'm sure you're familiar with the old "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me". Yes, we know words, can actually hurt, but if you're that thin skinned, it's your problem. We all deal with jackasses, ans you learn to ignore them. Just like I will do with your response, and future posts.
Maybe if you moved to Fairfax with the rest of us 1%ers, and not living in the People's Republic of Maryland, you would have only experienced the 4 days of downtime that we did.
As for 3rd world, you're trolling, exaggerating, or clueless, with the comparison. We're not anywhere close to 3rd world.

Um, Busan (or Pusan...spelled either way) is in South Korea, not the north, and about as far away from the north as it could be.
