When can I expect my weekly benefits from Employment Security Commission? I file my certification every tuesday and it's been 2 weeks since I started claiming unemployment. I already filed last week for my wait week. I don't know if they will directly deposit my money into my account or send me a check in the mail. When should I expect a check in the mail? I really need this money.
Employment Security Commission? Why don't more white-collar employers use their services more often to advertise for openings? Most of the jobs are labor-intensive and don't require much education. The jobs that do require a degree are usually social-service jobs or other low-paying government jobs. What is your experience and/or opinion?
Can I get anything from the Employment security commission even though I'm a part-time worker? I was fired unjustly from my most recent job and even though I only work part time (I am currently in school) I use the money I earn from that job to pay for my car and other school-related expenses. I found out through a co-worker that the reason my boss gave me for firing me was completely made up by her (and I already knew that because the accusation she made was untrue and she didn't even confront me about it, she simply stated I no longer worked there anymore) as an excuse to get rid of me. The company is extremely strict with policy and it states that 3 write-ups are necessary for termination, which I have not received. I live in South Carolina, which is an "at will" state, but I was wondering if there was still anything I can do because this does affect my work history record as well as now I have the difficuly of finding a new job in a town that is overflowing with teenage workers but short on positions to fill.
Who do I call to complain about a Local Employment Security Commission office in NC? I know someone that has been trying to get unemployment since Feb. He has been approved and they keep saying its in the mail and still nothing. We have went up there about 30 times for them to say there were missing paperwork. We have went twice in 2 weeks and have made multiply calls. Who can I call besides the local office in my town? There shouldn't need to be a appeal. He was already approved. We just called them back and once again they are saying he is missing paperwork. But we were just there friday and signed some stuff.
How do I find out my start and end date? How do I find out my start and end date from a past employer(Dell Inc.)? I went to the "employment security commission" web site for my state and there wasn't any info about it. Do I need to call them (Dell Inc) directly? If so how would I go about finding that phone number or e-mail address to do so? Thanks for the help!
Wages reporting to Social Security.....? If your first paycheck is received this Friday (for the past 2 weeks), how long would it take for that wage information from that paycheck to show up if checked by the Employment Security Commission to the Social Security Administration? I have a friend that is needing to know and we can't seem to find anything on the internet that will help.
What are umemployment penalties for NC? I know someone who started working an was still applying for unemployment benefits because they had not earned any money. 3 weeks were filed while working. They received a letter from employment security commission stating they received notification they were working. The new job gets paid bi weekly and they had not received a full weeks pay when filing for unemployment. What do you guys think? No smart answers please.
Does one need a Bachelor's degree to be a parking Attendant? There's a job listed by the North Carolina Employment Security Commission for parking attendant. I applied and got a referance letter back saying that I don't meet the requirements and that one needs a bachelor's degree for this job. I have an Associates degree in business management, and I was a parking attendant in New York City BEFORE I graduated!!! WTF???
Who knew the job market was so low? Wow! I have been looking for FT employment now since April. I have gone through three black ink cartridges printing out resumes--not to mention the 50 or so I have submitted online. Today I sat in the employment security commission office for 4 hours and they really had nothing to offer either. I have a degree, but no one wants to pay more than $8 per hour and the two job offers that I have received offered no benefits...and that is nearly impossible to live off of these days! Is anyone else having this much trouble? Is it only like this in NC?
Unemployment Benefits Work Search Records? I had an appointment Friday, May 7, 2010 at 11:39 am at the Employment Security Commission office. The appointment was to bring my work search records. I missed the appointment at no fault of my own and now I have a issue on my claim, which can stop me from receiving unemployment benefits. Should I call and reschedule my appointment?
Identitiy Theft? A couple of years ago while attempting to find a job through my state's (North Carolina) employment security commission, I was told that I was employed at a company that I had never heard of. Recently I discovered the same thing again. Somehow it seems as if someone has been using my social security number to collect wages at this company. However, when I called the social security administration I was told that there was no way that someone else could be using my social. What i dont understand is how, when my social is entered into the employment security commission database, this particular company comes up along with other jobs that I have actually worked. Does this classify as identity theft? If so, what do I do? I think someone has been using my social to collect wages.
filing taxes incorrectly? I already filed my taxes and I included what the NC state Employment Security Commission website said I had gotten in unemployment for the year, which was 196. Now I got the form in the mail that states that I got 309 in unemployment compensation. Do I need to amend my taxes or can I just leave it alone? I'm pretty sure it's still under the amount that is not taxed, but I don't want to get in trouble either. Help?
What is the punishment for illegally receiving unemployment? There is a man that I know who has been on unemployment for two years now. From what I understand, you must at least submit a few applications every week to prove that you are actively seeking employment. He however, in the last year has only submitted 2 applications, And every week online fills in everything so that he will receive his money on his card on mondays. This is not right and I know for a fact that he works as an umpire and doesn't claim that as income. This man skirts around every law known to man and I believe its time someone said something and make him own up to his lies/theft or whatever you want to call it. Its not that he can't find work, he wont try to find any. What I want to know is what kind of punishment would/could he receive should someone put a bug in the employment security commission's ear? Its not fair to those who really need the benefits and can't get them because of people like him. I lived with him and saw what he filled out but at the time I was underage and couldnt do anything about it. I am not being vindictive I am just trying to do what is right
Question about South Carolina Emergency Unemployment? I was laid off in may 2009 & will be coming up to the end of my normal unemployment benefits in november 2009. Assuming none of my applications submitted lead to employment before my benefits are exhausted, will i receive the 13 weeks of EUC? I am hoping to pick up something before then (I'm going kind of stir-crazy without a job), but haven't had a response to many of my applications. The SC employment security commission website doesn't have any information regarding the EUC. Thanks for your help in advance!
Help! What do I need to do to save my status as a claimant for Unemployment Benefits? Okay here's the deal: On July 2, 2009 I was discharged from an assignment that the staffing agency placed me in. I was not directly told until I left work that day when I received a call from the staffing agent. It was not for Misconduct or substantial fault connected with the work. The Rep at the job site felt things were not working out and asked the staffing company to discharge me from the assignment. Now this staffing company is filing an appeal to the Employment Security Commission. But according to the Commission, I cannot be denied benefits unless I was discharged for Misconduct or Substantial fault connected with the work. Why is this wound trying to get opened up again? I am a good person who is honest and responsible and I have been trying effortlessly to find work and failing miserably for the past 5 months. I also have been following the proper procedures in the Benefits processes. Why does this have to happen to me?
Is my husband considered a Veteran (US)? When my husband was a teenager he joined the Army. This would have been 1998-99. He tried for a little over 7 months but was not able to complete the initial training. He has never considered himself and Veteran and always answers "no" on application questions that ask if he has served in the Armed Forces. He was under the impression that, unless you finished the initial training, you are not a Veteran. When filling out an application by computer earlier today he tried to put "no" once again. The computer kicked the question back and said that according to the Employment Security Commission he is a Veteran. So has it been wrong answering "no" all this time? How do you legally answer if you were only in for 7 months and did not finish your training? The discharge says: "under honorable conditions- medical"
Does an employer have a deadline to when they can appeal an unemployment benefits claim? I have been receiving unemployment benefits for almost 1 month now. At first I was qualified for benefits but I was on a waiting period because my former employer was trying to deny the claim. Then I got a letter in the mail on 2/6/2010 from the employment security commission of NC stating that "Claimant is not disqualified for benefits." At the bottom it says "This determination will become final unless an appeal by the aggrieved party is filed on or before the Appeal Rights Expiration date. Then it says that the appeal rights expire on 2/21/2010. Well, my employer has decided to appeal and I just got everything from them in the mail, however, the appeal letter that my employer made has a date of 2/22/10. Doesn't this mean that they didn't meet the deadline and that there is no way they can even rightfully appeal against my unemployment benefits? I am still receiving benefits to this date. Thank you to all answers.

What can I expect from my first NC Unemployment Eligibility Review? I'm to appear at the Employment Security Commission for an "Eligibility Review" on December 22nd, and I'm to bring my work search records. Thankfully, I've dutifully kept an Excel spreadsheet of who I've been sending resumes to.:-) My question is this: How many employers are they going to call from my list? What if the employers they contact can't find my resume? Should I send all the employers a heads-up to expect a call from the NCESC? Also: I've never been to an "eligibility review" before. I'd like to know what to expect. What has your experience been with "eligibility reviews"?
I have a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and can't get a job, please help? I graduated from Appalachian State last year with a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, and a Minor in Psychology, It took me one year to find a decent job, and three weeks into it, a female co-worker made up lies about me and got me fired. That was this past August, since then, I have yet to find another job. Mcdonald's is not going to cut it, I need a job that pays at least $20,000 a year to pay for all of my bills. It's very stressful, I really want to work, just not flipping hamburgers. The only job in the criminal justice field that I do not want is a police officer, I do not want to be a cop. I tried to get in as a detention officer, but I'm 6'0 and 275, and that is considered obese according to their standards so I didn't meet the qualifications. It would have been a great job, but not until I lose 50 pounds, and with a huge amount of daily stress due to having no money , losing weight is a little easier said than actually done. I live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, And I did my internship with the Hall of Justice of Forsyth County working in the Clerk's office and Magistrate's office. I wanted a job in the clerk's office, but they said I was "over-qualified" to work there, no the real answer is, I wasn't a young attractive woman right out of high-school. That's all that was working in the clerk's office was women. I was the only guy. other than the clerk, and he was like 70 something. Over the past year, I've put in 100 applications, and I've probably only been contacted four times. Only once did the contact lead to a job, and I lost that job un-fairly, I believe I was racially discriminated against, read above. Anyone have any ideas? pass them along.......also the ESC(employment security commission) ain't worth a piddler's poot, they didn't help me at all.
Finding a job...? I'm looking for a part-time job for when I go back to school next month... I've looked online at the employment security commission's website, I've tried all the local newspapers, I've tried Craigslist, and Monster.com.... There are on-campus jobs, but the starting pay there is $6.25. I'd like to make more than that. Where else is there to look? I would ideally like to have something around 20 hours a week, preferrably an office job. I have applied to a few different places... one in particular I really had my heart set on, and when I called back after submitting my application, they told me they were "Persuing other applicants." UGH! Its sooo disappointing, and I'm getting discouraged. I live in a rural town in Northwest NC and will be commuting to school about 45 minutes away in a small college town. I could work either place. As far as experience... I have been a real estate broker for almost two years, but can no longer work in re b/c it requires full time commitment. So my question..... what tips do you have for me to find a part time job??? Any help you provide is greatly appreciated!!!
Want to see your Tax Dollars at work? Okla. State Worker Temporarily Gets 6-Figure Bonus OKLAHOMA CITY - Oklahoma officials say a typo resulted in a state employee receiving a bonus of $850,000 — but it was only temporary. Jo Harris was supposed to receive an $850 longevity bonus for working at the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission for seven years. But a misplaced decimal point turned that into a six-figure windfall. Officials say they caught the error before the $850,000 left state funds. Harris's original paycheck issued in February was canceled and a new one was issued with the correct bonus. Officials told Harris about the mistake and asked her to watch her personal bank account. Harris said she would let state officials know right away if the extra money entered her account because "I don't go to jail for anybody." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080823/ap_on_re_us/odd_massive_bonus;_ylt=AjhQHQLbiS61x0WqBXwJBeDtiBIF
Should I just leave certain jobs off of an application? I'm filling out a work registration thing for my local Employment Security Commission. There is a place to put your employers because basically it's a job application that they forward to potential employers who are registered with them. I haven't worked since 2005. My last job was at Walmart and it lasted for 3 days. I hated it, had transportation problems, and didn't show up. I listed it since it was my last job and put "quit" although I don't know what Walmart would say. My job before that I had worked at for a whole year, a cashier at a small grocery store. Got into a big conflict with the snotty boss and she fired me. I have a feeling she's badmouthing me, even though I know she's not supposed to, i'm sure employers talk privately amongst themselves! I emailed her all these years later to 'apologize' but haven't heard anything back. Anyway, I'm sure she'll figure out my angle once employers start calling her. Should I just leave it off the app and just keep my measly 3 day job at walmart? Sasha, employers can verify if you're telling the truth or not through your Social security number! I would never lie about working anywhere, that'll only f*ck me over in the end. I hope you now have the common sense to never, ever ever do this? Geez.
My husband was recently fired from his job for taking an unapproved vacation. Is he eligible for unemployment? He had requested the vacation time almost 2 months in advance and was given the denial 4 business days before we were to leave on vacation (and incidentally , the day after our grandchild's funeral). We had already made all of our vacation plans and paid involved expenses. His first denial from employment security commission has been received and he has filed an appeal. Any ideas / suggestions? He had been with the company for around 15 years and had no disciplinary actions against him. Guess I should add that he took only 2 days vacation (that is what he requested) AND they paid him for it!!

Do I have to pay self employment tax on the rebate my Realtor gave me back from my home purchase? I sold my home and bought a different home last year. My Realtor rebated several thousand dollars of his commission back to me on the purchase transaction. My normal income is just a pension and my spouse and I both receive Social Security. My tax man says I do not normally have to file and haven't for a couple years now. I am being told that I have to file this year due to that Realtor rebate and that I will have to pay self employment tax on the rebate amount received. Another tax man told me that it was not earned income (I didn't do anything for it - it was just a way of the Realtor discounting his fees) and that I did not have to pay self employment tax. What is the right answer? Does it matter what kind of 1099 is issued? Where do I go for reliable answers.......? PLEASE HELP!!
Can I deduct it when I do my income tax? I owned a salon and I pay my employee with 1099(self-employ) instead of W2 because they get pay by commission only. Now the Washington State Employment Security Department audit my business for the last three years for over $10,000. Can I deduct the $10,000 when I file my income tax?
How can I defend myself in an unemployment appeal? Last year, during a time when I was unemployed, I was given a demand to repay an overpayment($3000+) from the South Carolina Employment Security Insurance Commission. In short, the unemployment office. The issue was that I was "unavailable for work" because of school, with the Unemployment office saying it "might" be because I can't be fully available for work while in school. My argument is that these were online classes. Also, in my statement it clearly says that I am willing to modify my hours. Their rebuttal is that I can't do this because of a statement on my school's website, to which I responded that I can drop a class. Pass or fail, it can be done and that I made the statement before this issue. This began in October of 2009. On the 20th of July I received a letter stating that I have an appeal NOT for overpayment, but "an evidentiary hearing regarding the timeliness of your appeal." I started complaining about the issue the day of my letter, and I wasn't given any information on how to appeal until after being put through a game of phone tag for weeks. Even when physically visiting my local office, I was repeatedly told to contact the overpayment department and shrugged off. When contacting the overpayment office, I was told that the only reason I would talk to them is to make a repayment plan. It wasn't until doing my own research on the SC Employment website-which is riddled with broken links and often unreachable-did I find appeals information. What can I do to protect myself in this Timeliness Appeal? PooPooLaTrash> I do have letters, though only for overpayment and such. That's part of the problem I have with using proof. This is a really small, backwater part of the South. Not the worst, but bad. The unemployment office does not accept/answer emails, and even the headquarters in Columbia lacks answering machines. I plan on using these facts as a defense, but I'm afraid of the "hearing" being a one way conversation.

Do you think that there is a such discrimination in the United Arab Emirates? The US Equal Employment Opportunity commission (EEOC) was established by the title VII of the civil rights act of 1964 and began operating on July 1965. EEOC enforces the principal federal statutes prohibiting employment discrimination*. The US Federal laws prohibiting the following job discrimination: - employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin -protects men and women who perform substantially equal work in the same establishment from sex-based wage discrimination. protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older. - -prohibit employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector, and in state and local governments; - prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities who work in the federal government. The U.A.E constitution stated that; Equality and social justice and the provision of security and equal opportunities for all citizens is the pillars of society. Do you think that there is a such discrimination in the United Arab Emirates? And if there is... What is the best solution to avoid such discrimination? Awaiting your comments.

How should my commission be taxed? Last year my employer gave me the usual W-2 for my salary...but for my commission they gave me a 1099-MISC. My tax preparer said that this was usually used for self-employment and that I was left paying the self employment tax on that such as medicare, social security, etc. I'm assuming my employer "stuck" it to me last year. I have a review coming up and THIS year I want to be sure it's filed in a different way as I don't feel I should be responsible paying self employment taxes on my commission check from work. So my question to you all is "How should my commission be taxed so as it will benefit me rather than the employer"?
Is it time for a Roosevelt style New Deal in Order to save this country? Franklin D. Roosevelt's program was known as the New Deal. Under it, the federal government took far more responsibility for the economic welfare of the people than it had in any previous administration. One amendment to the Constitution was passed—the 21st (1933), which repealed the 18th (Prohibition) Amendment. Relief Measures The nation's economic system was almost at a standstill when Roosevelt became President on March 4, 1933. Nearly every state government had declared a banking holiday, or moratorium, to prevent depositors from withdrawing all their funds and ruining the banks. Roosevelt declared a four-day national banking holiday. He then obtained, in one day, legislation from Congress that permitted reopening of most banks under certification by the federal government that they were sound. Later banking reforms included insuring of deposits through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The New Deal provided large sums of federal money for direct payments to needy citizens through grants (rather than loans) to the states. It also established various new agencies to provide government-sponsored work for the unemployed. Through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) special projects were devised to provide employment for skilled and unskilled labor and for such persons as writers, artists, actors, and musicians. A vast program of public works—the construction of public buildings, highways, dams, and similar projects—was begun under the Public Works Administration (PWA). Young men were employed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to work on conservation projects. A basic goal of the New Deal was to raise both wages and prices, which had dropped lower and lower as the depression continued. The National Industrial Recovery Act called for the cooperation of labor and management in setting prices, minimum wages, and working hours within various industries. The act also gave workers the right to join unions without interference from employers. To increase the income of farmers, the Agricultural Adjustment Act was passed. It included provisions for paying farmers to reduce the acreage of certain crops and to limit livestock holdings. These measures were intended to reduce surpluses, which caused low prices. Both the National Industrial Recovery Act and the Agricultural Adjustment Act later were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. However, the right of workers to organize was reinforced by the National Labor Relations Act (1935), the constitutionality of which was upheld by the court. Later legislation restored other gains for labor that originally had been part of the Recovery Act. A revised Agricultural Adjustment Act, passed in 1938, retained the basic provisions of the farm relief program and was later sustained by the Supreme Court. Other New Deal Programs Along with its relief program, the New Deal enacted various measures for the reform of business practices, many of which resulted in increasing the scope of government activity. The Tennessee Valley Authority was created in 1933. The Securities and Exchange Commission was established to regulate the stock market. The Social Security Act of 1935 provided for unemployment insurance and old-age pensions. In 1936 Roosevelt was reelected, carrying every state except Maine and Vermont against the Republican candidate, Alfred M. Landon. During Roosevelt's second term, the United States Housing Authority was established to advance funds to cities for replacing slums with low-rental housing projects for low-income families. In 1937, in order to get a Supreme Court more receptive to his policies, Roosevelt asked Congress to enact legislation increasing the number of justices. He was accused of trying to "pack" the court and the plan was defeated. However, the court eventually became more sympathetic toward the New Deal. In 1940 Roosevelt sought election to an unprecedented third term—no President had ever served more than two terms. He went on to defeat Republican candidate Wendell Willkie.By 1940, the New Deal crusade for economic reform had all but ended. War in Europe and Japanese aggression in Asia caused the Roosevelt administration to shift its main attention to foreign policy and national defense. In September Congress authorized the first peacetime military draft in the nation's history. In October, 16,300,000 men registered and the draft began soon afterwards. Because of the New Dael My Grandfather went to school as an Electrician He wired Hoover Damn Later in life he managed a Power plant here in the South West My other Grand Father became a Fireman and later a Fire chief Both were strong Union Men Because Obama and Democrats pandered too much to the right the recovery act did not work as well and was not nearly enough .

How is the Tax calculated for commission based employement? NEW YORK STATE, NY CITY. I work at an agency where I get commission check, I get it regularly, and then at the end of the month, they add whatever is remaining on my commission on top and payme the balance. On my paycheck, it states "Commission" and it is simple Company Check, not employment Check, it does not have any Tax Witheld or Social Security. And I don't think I have medical insurance, etc. I started working there in about Nov 1st. How will the salary be reported to IRS, and how will I file my taxes? Is it going to be indepenedent contractor / outside position, and then I should be able to claim all of my expenses to work there, such as transportation, food, etc. Or should I just start another business, and work at my job under that business so taxing could be easier? I am new to this, so any help would be appreciated.

Will my employment history show that I "quit" 2 jobs in the last month? This is weird but in the last month I have been frantically looking for a better job and going on alot of interviews. One week I found "employment" at a MLM company and ended up quiting after 3 days. The next week I was going to try to sell for gutter guardian but it was commission only and we had to train for no pay for longer than I could stay. So I had to "quit" that also after only about 4 days. I don't even feel as if I technically quit because I didn't even work long enough to get paid so I won't even need a W-2. BUT does the fact that I was technically "employed", and "quit" after a week, show up on my employment history for when my next employer runs my information???? I go to orientation for a more sensible job (that i do not and cannot plan to quit) on Monday but I have not filled out the paper work(tax papers with social security card and everything). I need to know are these past 2 jobs, and another that I was offered, going to show up as I quit or show that I was only there a week or even show up at all. The only thing that concerns me is the fact that they obviously ran a background check and all that on me to let me be there and is all this back to back every week activity on my background history and employment history going to put a hold on it or be negative or even show up!?!?! Someone please help me-i called the SSA and IRS and they didn't understand and didn't know what to tell me! I know they will not personally know but I am asking will it show up when they have to do my paper work and stuff. is there a limit on the amount of times background checks and stuff can be done around the same time??
International security meltdown occurs in care homes? A service user uses a mobile phone to get people to secretly witness abuse, even behavior complaints since they are not meant to occur against people with a mental disability. In fact it is the evidencing of this behavior complaints that make up most of the reports of abuse to the 'care standards agency' in this situation, because people with mental disabilities are not responsible for thier behaviour. This is what has been written by them... During this time, I have been told about a new apparent breakthrough that has occurred. I was told that I can have the staff work weekends during the night; which does provide security at night from outside people. The problem is that this is not the priority area that we need to look at. Part of the process of asking for staff doing a lot of hours is to ensure that I get more daytime hours as a tactical measure; it was not intended as a method to increase night working. Because of the past issues with behaviour complaints from staff complaining that I am making too much noise at night, it would lead to some serious problems. Gold standard security will be needed for if they start getting angry, which would mean using the ‘Behaviour complaints security’ procedure; and since this could be a regular occurrence in this situation, it could mean that I cause pandemonium. For instance, repeatedly getting the care quality commission to witness behaviour complaints, and repeatedly getting my parents to try and help me to stop this occurring at strange hours of the night when they tell me that the staff’s behaviour is not a problem, in some kind of attempt to prevent these complaints occurring. The fact that I have to move house, I have no choice to be awake at night looking for a place to live; this means being awake at night annoying the sleeping staff; not only that but there is no where uncluttered for them to sleep. The ceiling is like a drum and the living areas are above the bedrooms, this would lead to a lot of noise. If the staff are awake with me, this would lead to problems with them being able to stay awake in the daytime and during the weekdays at night; it would be very strange hours for the staff. The priority for me is to have on-call staff, and then extra staff working daytime hours, followed by other things like transport; this is what is in my letter to the funding panel. My mother does not advice trying to change what the funding panel have done; she thinks this would annoy them. If things get out of control, it could lead to a situation where one staff member after another is being fired, a mass employment termination scenario. Although the other services user would have less staff looking after them, it could also protect them from behaviour complaints. A record with evidence of this scenario would need to be kept for scientists to be able to do something about the behaviour complaints phenomenon, due to the evidence. Theoretically if that well known about, other people may copy this evidencing technique if they find out about it; this would in turn fuel this scenario even more, and so a chain reaction would occur that spreads like an infection around the country and even the world. Though doing this should save many lives, the care security system would go into an international meltdown, since I know of no security system like mine anywhere. There are behaviour complaints occuring every day with this person, and it is an a problem in all care homes, completes with abuse in many of them. This is what people who have been to many of these places claim to feel. What do think of this situation? CREED

co-worker harassment laws? I work in WA State and a fellow co-worker has not only called me vulgar names, but has talked badly about me to other worker's. Other than quitting (I need my job) what kind of leg do I stand on to get her removed legally? I have already contacted Employment Security, L&I and the Human Rights Commission with no better understanding of what I can do. These organizations really protect under "Discrimination". I have told my owner and manager both verbally and in an e-mail. They basically said that we are both valuable to the company and choose to do nothing. I even asked to be laid off in order to resolve the issue, but my boss told me no. She said that we would have to learn to play well together, but to be honest, I am not the one who is unable to act professionally, she is.
Can I get the security deposit back? I made a contract for renting a condo - 2 years lease including "diplomatic clause" in April this year - S$2,500 monthly. But my employment pass expires in October and there is no chance to extend the EP. So I must leave Singapore after living in this condo for only 5 months. In this case,How much can I get the security deposit? Could you tell me an advice in detail ? I append the following two articles for your reference. (i) Notwithstanding the tenancy is for a term of 2 years it may be only determined after a period of 12 months if the tenant shall be required to leave Singapore permanently on a job transfer or if tenant's employment is terminated. (j) If this Agreement should be lawfully terminated before the expiry of the tenancy herein aforesaid,the Tenant shall refund to the landlord,pro rata,the commission paid by the Landlord to his real estate agent. The landlord shall be entitled to deduct such refund from the deposit held by the landlord.
North Carolina Unemployment office? I've been filing for an appeal for being disqualified for benefits, So I received a large envelope from NC Employment Security Commission. My name an address were on the envelope so I proceeded to open it up. Come to find out the person appeal in my envelope is NOT mine & all her personal information, (information that I shouldn't have). I have been trying to get ahold of the office to figure out how to send this back, and figure out if My appeal and personal information was sent out incorrectly as well? Is there anything I can do if NCESC sent out my SSN and other private information to random people in America??? Jaspal..obviously you have NO LIFE..and if you don't care why take the time to respond...Loser...go upstairs and hang out with your mom!! Okay NO one has time for you and your rude comments
Real estate jobs and commission taxes questions? I am in the process of making a career change to another job. I currently work in retail. I have not had an actual offer for the job yet, but I've had over 2 hours of interview time with the 1st and 2nd interview combined. They are in the process of running a background check so that's leading me to believe that they might be serious in making me an offer of employment. The job is working as a sales representative for a new home building company. The commision percentage on a sale is 2%, but there are no fees or anything that are taken out of that percentage by the company. The company gaurantees a minimum monthly check of $3500 which they call a draw account. And if any money is owed to the draw account commissions would go towards that. So if I went my first two months without selling a home my draw account would be at $7000. And my third month I closed on homes totaling commissions of $9000. I would pay the $7000 that I owed back in the draw account and be left with $2000. But they guarantee a monthly check of $3500 so my draw account would be at $1500. From what I've read this type of pay is uncommon in the real estate industry. I like it because starting out I probably wouldnt be raking in the commissions right away, so I'd still have a steady paycheck coming in the first few months. The area manager I interviewed with has told me up front in the interviews that it takes there sales reps about 6-8 months to really get going. I have no real problems with working my tail off learning the new trade though. My questions are: 1) What are your opinions on the position as a whole? 2) I currently live in Wisconsin and I am wondering what my final take home pay would be out of the $3500/month. I know it would probably be a higher percentage than the checks I am getting now because it's mroe money, but I can't seem to find exactly what it would be. I'm looking to figure out what I would walk away with after all social security, medicare, federal taxes and state taxes just figuring the $3500/month. Oh and the company I'm interviewing with is called William Ryan Homes so if anyone has any comments on the company that would be welcome as well. Thanks, John
Should I seek employment elsewhere? I am paid strictly on commission but I have no gaurantees on when or if I will be paid. During my company's busy months I am paid fairly well and make more than I have anywhere else. During my company's slow months I get behind on all of my bills which will eventually ruin any credit I have been trying to build. I am unable to save any money during the busy season because I'm making up for all of the bills I have gotten behind on during the slow season. My question is, should I look for a new job where I will be paid hourly but make less money for the security of knowing when I will be paid?
Could any of you please cite the provision in the AZ proposed bill that says “arrest people that look Latino”? ARIZONA STATE SENATE Forty-ninth Legislature, Second Regular Session FACT SHEET FOR S.B. 1070 immigration; law enforcement; safe neighborhoods Purpose Requires officials and agencies of the state and political subdivisions to fully comply with and assist in the enforcement of federal immigration laws and gives county attorneys subpoena power in certain investigations of employers. Establishes crimes involving trespassing by illegal aliens, stopping to hire or soliciting work under specified circumstances, and transporting, harboring or concealing unlawful aliens, and their respective penalties. Background Federal law provides that any alien who 1) enters or attempts to enter the U.S. at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, 2) eludes examination by immigration officers, or 3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the U.S. by a willfully false or misleading representation is guilty of improper entry by an alien. For the first commission of the offense, the person is fined, imprisoned up to six months, or both, and for a subsequent offense, is fined, imprisoned up to 2 years, or both (8 U.S.C. § 1325). The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the primary authority for enforcing immigration laws. ICE was created in March 2003 as an investigative branch of the Department of Homeland Security. ICE was the result of combining the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Customs Service. Current statute defines criminal trespass in the first degree as a person knowingly entering or remaining unlawfully in areas related to residential structures, residential yards, real property subject to a valid mineral claim or lease under certain circumstances, property if the person defaces religious symbols or religious property, or critical public service facilities. Depending on the circumstances, criminal trespass in the first degree provides penalties ranging from a class 1 misdemeanor to a class 6 felony (A.R.S. § 13-1504). In 2007, Arizona enacted the Legal Arizona Workers Act (LAWA), prohibiting an employer from knowingly or intentionally employing an unauthorized alien and establishing penalties for employers in violation. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office administers the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program. The SAVE Program, together with the Social Security Administration (SSA), administers E-Verify, which allows employers to electronically confirm the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees. LAWA requires all Arizona employers to use E-Verify to verify the employment eligibility of new hires. Proof of verifying the employment authorization of an employee through E-Verify creates a rebuttable presumption that an employer did not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. The fiscal impact is unknown; however, there may be additional costs associated with criminal prosecution and detention of persons who are accused and convicted of the crimes established in this legislation. Additionally, the addition of new fines associated with this measure may also have an impact. fellow link to Provisions to the bill http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/summary/s.1070pshs.doc.htm
How can a US Citizen be ran out of his country by a illegal This story is so similar to mine, it make the hair stand on my neck. Dear Sir, I am hoping that you can help me by publicizing my story. Several people have suggested that I get this information in the mainstream news so that America will wake up and see what damage illegal immigrants are doing to our country. I am convinced that we have become a nation of fools, and that foreign-born people know this and use this knowledge to rip us off daily – both as a nation and as individuals. Our legislature appears to be broken, so I am hoping that the power of the press in responsible hands such as yours will heroically turn this country around – at least regarding the scam I am about to illuminate. My story is about my wife, who has used immigration law, family law, and the Violence Against Women’s Act to destroy my career and all that I have spent 40 years working for. This scam happens to an estimated 15,000 American men each year, and our government and the courts are doing nothing to stop it, thereby throwing us men to the wolves and our US-born children into the garbage. Foreign women know it (check the internet for similar stories), and use us every chance they get. Please read on: I married my wife in January of 2001. Shortly before our marriage ceremony, she divulged to me that she was an illegal alien. This came as a surprise to me since she had been working in the US for the past 13 years. Although this news was disappointing, I went through with the marriage since I would be able to sponsor a green card for her as her husband. At the time, I lived in ABC and she lived in XYZ. Since she had a 16-year-old son finishing up high school in XYZ, I agreed to wait 18 months for my wife to move up to ABC to live with me. Six months after our marriage, my wife was pregnant (I had her travel with me quite often). During and after the pregnancy, my wife regularly threatened to abduct our child if I didn’t agree with her on any decisions regarding our family. Additionally, she began to indicate that she wouldn’t move to ABC with me as she had promised. During this time, I also learned that her son in high school had been abducted from his father in 1989, and had not seen his father since that time. I knew then that my wife’s threats were serious. Sure enough, three weeks before she was to move to ABC, she stormed out of our house in XYZ during a disagreement. Her last words were: “I have my baby – I don’t need you anymore!” At the time, my daughter was three months young. I immediately filed for divorce, putting a temporary restraining order on my wife to prevent her from removing my child from the X County, XYZ. My wife continued to blackmail me with the child, indicating that I would not see my child again if I withdrew her green card application. I called her bluff and withdrew the application, trusting the INS to enforce the law. The INS did nothing, despite hundreds of phone calls and dozens of letters that I sent. I finally contacted my Congressman and Senator to get the INS to investigate my wife and her background (more on this in a minute…). My wife is now in removal hearings, and I have collected three inches of evidence I have on her regarding the fact that she: 1) has what appears to be a phony Social Security Number 2) has used falsified documents to get employment and go to college 3) has collected unemployment benefits from the X Workforce Commission 4) has held a X driver’s license for the past six years 5) deliberately overstayed her visa 6) has harbored about a dozen other illegals in various houses 7) has apparently never filed a federal income tax return 8) has attempted in her second marriage to coerce her husband to get her a green card (fortunately for him, he didn’t get her pregnant) 9) lives in a 2500 square foot house with at least ten other people (mostly illegals), where there are bunk beds in almost every room, including the dining room 10) worked in a law firm for seven years where she learned how to use loopholes in immigration law and family law to extort, blackmail, and then destroy her US-born husband’s lives and careers if she didn’t get her way. 11) Is using her US-born daughter to get the INS to give her a green card, and to force very extensive child support payments from me ($1200 per month tax free, and my daughter is wearing hand-me-downs from my wife’s nieces!). Despite all this, I cannot submit a single page of my evidence to the INS. Why? Because my wife has now filed a petition to get a green card based on a false allegation that I had abused her while we were married. The Violence Against Women’s Act (VAWA) assumes that I am guilty until I can prove myself innocent. Of course, there are no police or medical records indicating that I ever laid a hand on my wife, simply because I never did! Nevertheless, the VAWA laws now prohibit me from: 1) being in the courtroom when my wife is tried by the INS 2) finding out what her claim is as to why she can stay in the US 3) finding out anything about her case with the INS 4) finding out what claim she filed against me regarding spousal abuse 5) acting as a witness against her in the INS court 6) submitting any evidence to the INS court 7) defending myself against any claim she has made about me The evidence that my wife can submit for this claim appears to be as flimsy as getting one of her sisters to write a note saying that I used to beat her up all the time! Her immigration attorney, by the way, was provided to my wife for free by the Catholic Charities Organization – a group to whom I donated $1000 to this year. My wife, by the way is no charity case. When I last checked, she had over $27,000 in the bank. I have no idea how she acquired that kind of money. So here’s my wife’s situation: after contributing nothing to this country, and after lying to the federal government about leaving our borders in a timely fashion, and after abducting a child from a man who loved his son, and after destroying two American men with divorces and blackmail, and after lying to employers, schools, the X Workforce Commission, the X Division of Motor Vehicles, and after abducting a second child (US-born) to extort money and actions out of me, and after paying no taxes, she gets to live with her illegal ‘family’ (its actually more like a gang) with me making her "family’s" house payments, and providing her and her son with all the utilities and food they need, possibly for the next 18 years! By the way: my wife feels so comfortable about America now, that she’s decided not to work anymore. Instead, she’s enrolled as a full-time student at X College, where illegals are encouraged to apply. She and her illegal son have had it made ever since I signed up to be a sperm donor and a wallet! My wife has learned that this is the land of opportunity, and is apparently spreading the word. Her sister is now trying to get her US husband to buy her a house before she will divorce him (I’ve never seen him or any of the original husbands that belonged to three of my wife’s sisters – only the children are ‘left behind’). I am sure that they are all high-fiving each other saying, “You got de money, you got de baby, and you don’ got to pay nobody nothin’, and that stupid fool can’t do nothing to you cause deze Americans are so-o-o-o stupid! Yeah! You de girl!” (Yes – I’ve heard them talk this way many times!) Meanwhile, my daughter sits in a filthy corner of the house, unaware that she is being robbed of her birthright as a US citizen, and is in danger at any time of being smuggled to a third-world country or to some ghetto in the US to live a fugitive life with my sociopathic wife. Thank you for reading my story this far. There are even more details of this story that I left out to try to keep things brief. I am sending this story out to as many journalists as I can find so that we can turn this into a publishable story that will allow other men and women in my situation to band together in a unified voice to congress to help us, and hopefully to save other people from this awful fate. Also, together we might be able to figure out some solutions for each other. I hurt very badly from this situation, and for the first time in my life, hate to wake up in the morning. I guess my mistake was to actually believe that I would succeed in this American society by working my tail off in engineering school and building a solid life so that I could be raped by some lowlife alien and the US courts. Thank you for your help with this. Sincerely, Bill 12/29/02
Are blacks really treated unfairly by the judicial system? I know I'm going to be called "racist" for this or whatever, but it's just a thought-provoking question. Obviously, marijuana and most drug charges are unconstitutional, and any black man who is locked up for possession of drugs (especially weed) should be released. I do know there is some unfairness as I know alot of spoiled white college kids who smoke pot but do not get in any trouble. I do civilian police work (Guardian Angels) and many of the fellow Angels are black. Also many police in urban areas are black and Latino, I have seen it myself. The police force seems to reflect the area. Most police come from a working-class background (although I know this is changing due to the fact that alot of policemen have degrees now). Also most lawyers and judges vote Democrats (as are most people with high education, like professors), which is the party behind giving second chances to black and Latino criminals out of pity for their bad environments which they had no control over. Alot of judges and lawyers are also Jewish, who are 80% Democrats, and have sided with black causes since the Civil Rights movement. Stereotypically, poor blacks have had alot of help from the Federal Government. They live in government-housing projects, they receive government aid, they work in government jobs (security guards at the airport, DMV and such), there is a government Equal Opportunities Employment Commission, so how could one say that policemen, who are government employees, are out to get them. Is this a race thing or a class thing? Because I have a hard time believe it is a race thing. I can see how a judge would be unsympathetic to a member of society who does not contribute anything, but given the fact that most judges are government employees who are likely to be Democrats, it doesn't seem valid. @ Amerie, if you blame whites like that, you really need to grow up. I like the wide responses of anwers I'm getting. And I agree with you all that drug charges are completely unconstitutional. Oh, and this makes my point that if the judicial system really IS responsible for keeping blacks down, then all those blacks who like to point the finger at working-class whites (especially Southerners) have more to blame the Federal Government, liberals, and other blacks for than the "rednecks" who always get blamed for being racist and keeping blacks down.
How can I push my unemployment appeal to a higher authority? (South Carolina)? In October of 2009, I received a statement of overpayment for an excess of $3,000 for a period of time where I wasn't working. The South Carolina Employment Security Commission claims that I was not eligible for a certain period of time, stating that I cannot attend school and receive benefits as this is considered "not available for work." My argument is that I was taking online courses. Furthermore, my statement read that I was willing to modify my hours. Naturally, since these were online classes. The Employment Commission takes no issue with online courses, but claims that they received a statement from my school claiming that I cannot change course times. I was told to appeal this decision. Since October of 2009 I was given phone loops, appointments and refused paperwork or written statements. Now I am being told to file a "timeliness" appeal, since my appeal that finally made it through the system is so many months "late". My latest visit to the office revealed that paperwork is sometimes lost, and that I was sent notice of appeals. After investigating, there were issues with the commission's system. I'm becoming increasingly paranoid that I am being given the runaround. When I visit the local unemployment office, I ask to have my name and visit recorded, but whenever I return these records are non-existent. When contacting the legal department and appeals tribunal, I am given a message along the lines of "you will be contacted with the details of your hearing." Outer layer of issue: I have a timeliness hearing, but the hearing has been pushed back for months. This is the cause of the timeliness issue. Who can I talk to in order to jump this loop of red tape? Inner layer: I was ruled ineligible due to school, but I was taking online college and made no indication that I was not available for work. The statement that the commission used was copied and pasted from my school website with my online classes not considered. Can I clear this without being stuck in a loop of red tape? I am currently working, and I would like this unfair demand for repayment removed.

What do U think Don't assume worst in Taco Bell flap clergy has jumped to the conclusion that Taco Bell is a? Not so fast. A group of clergy has jumped to the conclusion that Taco Bell is a big, bad company for firing more than two dozen Hispanic employees in Madison and Sun Prairie. The firings followed discrepancies with the workers' Social Security numbers. "It troubles us on a moral level if hard-working people are being treated with such a lack of respect and dignity," states a June 20 letter from 16 local clergy to Greg Creed, president of Taco Bell Corp. The key word here is "if." Some facts are in dispute, and many others are unknown to the public. Moreover, federal rules on immigration and employment can be murky and at times seemingly contradictory. A business can be punished for employing illegal immigrants. A business also can be punished for firing workers -- no matter their legal status in this country -- if proper procedures aren't followed. Another possibility to consider: Taco Bell may have been sorry to see these workers go if they were doing a good job. It was the federal government, after all, that raised questions about the workers in the first place. The Social Security administration notified Taco Bell that the Social Security numbers of some employees didn't match government records. Employers are required to tell workers about the letters and to correct records as needed. So the company says it gave the employees several months to clear up the discrepancies. The clergy who are protesting Taco Bell say the workers insist they were fired on the spot. About 19 of the workers have filed complaints with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunities Commission in Milwaukee. The unfortunate episode highlights Washington's failure to reform immigration policy so that it's workable and easy to follow. What the controversy shouldn't incite -- so far, at least -- is rage against a restaurant chain that may have simply been trying to follow the law. http://www.madison.com/wsj/home/opinion/458802 You see what happens when the FEDS actually do their job and why are Churches now condoning document fraud ?

How will this effect my job? I work for a Mortgage Broker In Canada, and we are going to be regulated by the Securities Commission soon, just like financial advisors. This is to cut back on the number of illegitamite brokers out there. I am the admin assistant, I will not be required ro register, as I don't sell mortgages. Will my boss need to submit my name however in some kind of staff list? Could the Comission have demands such as all employees, even not registered ones must complete background and credit checks? Or will the commission even need to be aware of me, have nothing to do with my employment.
how can congress do this? With Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley becoming commercial banks, and the other three big investment banks/brokerage houses being acquired by commercial banks, politicians and the press won't have Wall Street to kick around anymore. Headlines now shout about a $700 billion "Bailout for Wall Street." Yet strictly speaking, Wall Street as we knew it no longer exists. The conversion or absorption of all five of Wall Street's big investment banks into commercial banks raises several intriguing issues. First of all, the financial storms over the past year have -- before last week -- been largely confined to securities markets and to interbank loans among commercial and investment banks. Bank loans to commercial and industrial business, real estate and consumers continued to expand nearly every month. Commercial and industrial loans exceeded $1.5 trillion this August, up from less than $1.2 trillion a year earlier. Real-estate loans exceeded $3.6 trillion, up from less than $3.4 trillion a year ago. Consumer loans were $845 billion, up from $737 billion. Credit standards are tougher, which is surely a good thing, but interest rates for creditworthy borrowers remain low. The ongoing slow but steady availability of bank credit helps explain the much-remarked contrast between Wall Street and Main Street -- the shaky condition of exotic financial markets compared with relatively benign statistics for industrial production, retail sales, employment and the rest of the nonhousing economy. Most people go about their business without depending on investment banks or exotic varieties of commercial paper. Second, recent events highlight the absurdity of the attempt by several pundits to blame recent problems on "financial deregulation." That complaint was aimed at the Financial Modernization Act of 1999, which passed the House by a vote of 362-57 and the Senate by 90-8, yanking the last brick out of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act's regulatory wall between commercial banks and investment banks. If it was somehow possible in today's world of global electronic finance to the rebuild such a wall, that would mean J.P. Morgan could not have bought Bear Stearns, Bank of America could not have bought Merrill Lynch, Barclays could not buy most of Lehman, and Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley could not become bank holding companies. It is hard to imagine how things would have worked out in that situation, but it surely would not have been an improvement. Since the 1933 regulatory wall has collapsed as definitively as the Berlin Wall, all the giant financial conglomerates now face oversight and regulation by the Federal Reserve, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Innocents who seek security in regulation need to recall, however, that not one of those august agencies exhibited timely foresight or concern about the default risk among even prime mortgages in some locations, or about any lack of transparency with respect to bundling mortgages into securities. People do not become wiser, more selfless or more omniscient simply because they work for government agencies. Wall Street was always a metaphor, of course, but so are words like "bailout" and "toxic" debt. Nationalization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was a bailout for creditors (who received windfall gains), not for stockholders or executives. The federally enforced shotgun marriage between J.P. Morgan and Bear Stearns at the initially ridiculous price of $2 a share was no bailout for Bear. The 11.3% federal loan to AIG, contingent on the potential expropriation of 80% of shareholder value, is no bailout either. By contrast, what was done to stop a run on the money-market funds is a real bailout which could encourage them to hold risky paper and also make it tougher for commercial banks to attract deposits. The proposal to buy up mortgage-backed securities is a bailout too, though the beneficiaries are not just the tattered remains of Wall Street. The bailout consists of shifting the risk of loss to taxpayers. Actual losses could not reach $700 billion unless the securities were literally worthless, which would mean the value of the underlying real estate fell to zero. What was "toxic" for investment banks is not equally toxic for the Treasury Department because the government does not even bother to keep a balance sheet, much less abide by mark-to-market accounting rules. A powerful motive for converting investment banks into commercial banks is to get around those onerous balance-sheet rules that required fire-sale pricing of securities that were virtually unmarketable during a panicky scramble for liquidity. Strict adherence to those rules made patience a vice and a "buy and hold" approach impossible. This confirms what many of us have long been saying about the foolishness of letting arbitrary bookkeeping rules dominate economic reality. Turning Wall Street into a bunch of com
I LOVE ROSS PEROT'S FINANCIAL CRISIS ANSWER, WSY? The Main Street Rescue Plan Congress will be voting on a revised Wall Street Bailout Plan as early as October 1, 2008. If you believe that Congress should be focusing on Main Street first, then please click here to send an email to your elected officials telling them you don’t want the government spending billions of dollars on bad loans. Phase One - Immediate Action by U.S. Congress 1. Securities and Exchange Commission Mandate that the SEC: Suspend its “mark-to-market” accounting regulations that are causing the write-down of bank assets to fire-sale prices, and thereby contracting the supply of available investment capital. Tightly restrict short sales of financial stocks. 2. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Mandate that the FDIC: Declare a national emergency during which time the FDIC will back depositors and general creditors of banks that fail and resolve those collapses in a way that does not cost depositors, such as selling deposits and loans of the failed institution to another institution. Reconstitute the FDIC’s “net worth certificate” (NWC) program that Congress created in the 1980s for the savings and loan crisis of that era. The NWC required no federal subsidy or cash outlay. Under the NWC, the FDIC bought subordinated debentures in the bank and issued FDIC notes to the bank, with the interest being the exact same on both instruments. Under this program, the FDIC assesses the financial condition of banks and shores up weak ones that can survive if given time to resolve their problems and merges/liquidates those too weak for the NWC program. Under the NWC program, the FDIC will provide strict supervision of participating banks, including the employment of key personnel and their compensation, until the crisis has passed. Again, no federal subsidies or outlays are required. Declare a 120-day moratorium on payment of dividends by banks. Executives of banks that need capital often worry that failing to pay dividends is a sign of financial instability. A temporary ban across-the-board will end fears and give FDIC time to strengthen banks’ capital base. Expand FDIC insurance coverage to other financial institutions, including hedge funds, placed under federal regulation. 3. Stabilize Owner-Occupied Homes Declare a 120-day moratorium on mortgage foreclosures. This will (a) keep families in their homes while components of the broader plan are put in place and the real economy is revived; (b) better ensure that the property does not fall into disrepair; and (c) reduce the decline in housing values created by unoccupied, foreclosed homes. Devise a post-moratorium program to do work out plans for owner-occupied homes, including federal cash subsidies for owners that can pay for their homes if given time to financially survive this crisis. Amend federal law so that federal bankruptcy judges are able to modify the terms of mortgages of homeowners in bankruptcy and thus give them more time to work through their financial problems and keep their homes. 4. Share Rescue Profits with U.S. Taxpayers Whenever the government makes a loan or an equity investment in a distressed financial institution, such as the AIG deal, the public gets a share of any future recovery profits. Create a true “Social Security Lockbox” for the warrants and equity the federal government acquires as part of this financial rescue. The goal is not long-term federal ownership, but to assist these organizations in returning to a sound operation and then make a prudent sale of the public equity. Restrict the investment of those funds to AAA-rated state and local infrastructure bonds, which provide safe, long-term investments that will stimulate the real economy, create new jobs, and fiscally strengthen the Social Security System. 5. Oversight Create an independent agency/board to oversee and manage the non-FDIC/SEC portions of the Rescue Plan and report to Congress on a regular basis. The Board would consist of: Secretary of Treasury (Chair). Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Chairman of the FDIC, Chairman of the SEC, Comptroller General of the United States, One appointee by each of the Majority and Minority Leaders of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Create a new Joint Committee of Congress to oversee the plan and provide recommendations to Congress. The new Joint Committee would consist of representatives from all standing committees with partial jurisdiction for resolving this financial crisis. The goal is to involve all relevant committees in this rescue plan. 6. Create an Emergency Financial Crimes Office in the Department of Justice The mission of this unit is to investigate any criminal acts that led to this crisis, hold the guilty accountable, and disgorge assets from individuals and institutions found guilty. The head of the Office will be an experienced, non-political career prosecutor appointed by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senat Sorry it took so long, but I think this is brilliant...What do you think?
Why don't we jsut use the Mexican constitution regarding immigration? If the latinos want to spread their culture and wave mexican flags in American why don't we just use their consitution as well? example Article 9. The right to assemble or associate peaceably for any lawful purpose cannot be restricted; but only citizens of the Republic may do so to take part in the political affairs of the country. Article 27. Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters. Article 33. Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country. Article 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable. In time of peace no foreigner can serve in the Army nor in the police or public security forces." there are a lot more articles about immigrants. look for your slef http://www.ilstu.edu/class/hist263/docs/1917const.html#TitleIChapterIII http://www.iwp.edu/news/newsID.267/news_detail.asp
With a few mishaps in my background, will I still be able to be commissioned as an Officer in the military? Right now, I'm attending my second year in community collage with the plan on transferring out to a Four-Year University once I have my 64 credits. I'm very well wrapped into my studies, in my school work, foreign languages, and studying my interest in both Military/Intelligence and World Affairs. I am a polyglot, speaking several languages. Which including my native tongue of English, I'm also fluent in German, Dutch, Spanish, French, Russian, and Farsi. At the moment I'm working on Swedish, but of course I'm also working to keep my fluency in the others. Once I'm fluent in Swedish, I will probably quit learning new languages and just work at keeping the fluency in all of them. But once I graduate from collage, hopefully with a BA degree in either Political Science or World Affairs, I would like to join either the Navy or the Army to be commissioned as an officer. I would like to serve in an SOF unit in one of the two, either go into the SEALs or once I fit the rank requirements, go into Special Forces. I also have somewhat of a dream to join the CIA as a Paramilitary Officer, which the both wrap into the same mix. But I do have a few things that I do worry about for officer commission and later CIA employment. 1. First, is my schooling. When I was in 8th grade I was frequently suspended and later expelled. In 9th grade, I was expelled from school for marijuana usage and again in tenth grade for threatening a teacher. I have changed in a large way since that time. But I ended up getting my GED, and now I'm in collage. I'm also working, even volunteering for the USO every Saturday at the local Airport. But I've been told, I may have problems because of those mishaps. 2. Websites. Now this may not be a big deal, but I used to download E-Books from websites like isohunt and thepiratebay. Must of those E-Books were books such as Paladin Press Copies and Anarchist type work. But again, I've changed in a large way from that days. I barely even read, and when I did that was mainly by rebellious side getting a kick out of the literature. Some were how to books of different destructive things, but except for playing around with my friends on my land, we never did anything with the information. But if by any chance there is some file on some of the sites I've been on, that may raise some suspicions. 3. Family. I've heard that in must security clearances that has you in contact with many classified information or just any information at all, they question your family, friends, and some time coworkers and bosses. Well the people at my job and past job won't be a problem, except for my independent keep to myself nature, I have no problems with them. I have no friends so that should be no problem. But my parents and myself never stood on good grounds. Which leads to another issue, I plan on changing my surname to separate myself from them. Nothing else, simply my family. But I can see the questioning of them not going into my favor. Well that's all I can really think of. Those are some of my goals that I would really like to reach, but somewhat skeptical on accomplishing those goals because of my past. P.S. I have never been arrested and I do not have a criminal record. Also, I've read that if you want to fulfill a career in many of the Clandestine units within certain government agencies, that you should keep many personal information off the internet. I have never had any form of Internet connection website account, like the face-books and myspaces. And this yahoo account is under my pen name. Sorry for the length but this was the shortest I can get it. Also I understand that title is somewhat different then some of what I've written. Thank you for all who reads and responds. Also, I'm a patriot and I love my country. Even thought I am against must of the lobbyist in D.C. trying to change the government for there on needs. Also, I'm irreligious.

from the washington times maybe we should adopt their ilegal immigration policies go protest your own land? The Mexican solution FRANK J. GAFFNEY JR. By Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. April 4, 2006 The Congress has received lots of free advice lately from Mexican government officials and illegal aliens waving Mexico's flag in mass demonstrations coast-to-coast. Most of it takes the form of bitter complaints about our actual or prospective treatment of immigrants from that country who have gotten into this one illegally -- or who aspire to do so. If you think these critics are mad about U.S. immigration policy now, imagine how upset they would be if we adopted an approach far more radical than the bill they rail against that was adopted last year by the House of Representatives -- namely, the way Mexico treats illegal aliens. In fact, as a just-published paper by the Center for Security Policy's J. Michael Waller ( www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/Mexicos_Glass_House.pdf) points out, under a constitution first adopted in 1917 and subsequently amended, Mexico deals harshly not only with illegal immigrants. It treats even legal immigrants, naturalized citizens and foreign investors in ways that would, by the standards of those who carp about U.S. immigration policy, have to be called "racist" and "xenophobic." For example, according to an official translation published by the Organization of American States, the Mexican constitution includes the following restrictions: • Pursuant to Article 33, "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country." This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the expression of opinions in public about domestic politics like those much in evidence in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere in recent days. • Equal employment rights are denied to immigrants, even legal ones. Article 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable." • Jobs for which Mexican citizenship is considered "indispensable" include, pursuant to Article 32, bans on foreigners, immigrants and even naturalized citizens of Mexico serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports. Article 55 denies immigrants the right to become federal lawmakers. A Mexican congressman or senator must be "a Mexican citizen by birth." Article 91 further stipulates that immigrants may never aspire to become cabinet officers, as they are required to be Mexican by birth. Article 95 says the same about Supreme Court justices. In accordance with Article 130, immigrants -- even legal ones -- may not become members of the clergy, either. • Foreigners, to say nothing of illegal immigrants, are denied fundamental property rights. For example, Article 27 states, "Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters." • Article 11 guarantees federal protection against "undesirable aliens resident in the country." What is more, private individuals are authorized to make citizen's arrests. Article 16 states, "In cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities." In other words, Mexico grants its citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution. Imagine the Minutemen exercising such a right. • The Mexican constitution states that foreigners -- not just illegal immigrants -- may be expelled for any reason and without due process. According to Article 33, "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action." to pancho what a load of crap this is what you have to say wow so different rules and your here protesting instead of mexico oh its ok because were a poor what about the poor people who are trying to better their lives by getting into mexico because their country is even poorer its ok for mexicans but not anyone else sounds like mexicans are corrupt and they are bringing those values here no thanks

Where is the justice in this bill for the millions of American men, women and children who are the victims of? The advocates for the "comprehensive immigration reform" bill that was recently introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives (H.R. 4321) claim that it is not an amnesty bill because illegal aliens have to pay a $500 fine, which is roughly 5 percent of the cost of the services of a good "coyote" or alien-smuggler. This means that for a $500 payment, illegal aliens will be granted total amnesty from the multiple felonies that they commit in order to get jobs – document fraud, perjury on I-9 forms and identity theft. In addition, under Sec. 404 of H.R. 4321 (see text below), all information provided by illegal aliens on their applications for legal status will be treated by the federal government as secret. This will allow the illegal aliens to list the stolen Social Security numbers, stolen identities, and counterfeit "green cards" that they have been using to get jobs on their applications for legalization without fear of prosecution. This information cannot be released to any law enforcement officer or even to the victims of identity theft. This is outrageous since, according to the Social Security Administration, 75 percent of illegal aliens use fraudulent Social Security cards. According to the Federal Trade Commission which tracks identity theft, one in every seven cases (15 percent) of identity theft committed in the United States in 2008 was employment-related. The simple fact is that identity theft and illegal immigration go hand-in-hand. Children are prime targets of illegal aliens since no one checks their credit histories. An impartial study in Arizona found that as many as 1.1 million Arizona children had their identities stolen. These are not victimless crimes. Children and other Americans suffer very real harm when illegal aliens use their Social Security numbers. They have their credit ruined, are saddled with arrest records, are denied government means-tested benefits, and may even suffer life-threatening consequences if the illegal aliens using their Social Security numbers corrupt their medical records. However, under H.R. 4321, the millions of American men, women, and children who are victims of illegal-alien job-related felonies will be sacrificed so illegal aliens can get on the path to citizenship. This bill even prohibits government employees who are processing the applications of illegal aliens applying for legal status from reporting any criminal activity found in the applications to law enforcement authorities. And it threatens government employees with a $10,000 fine if they violate this prohibition. Thus, under this legislation, if a government employee tries to help an American citizen who is the victim of an illegal alien, the government employee will have to pay $10,000 and will risk losing her job. If she protects illegal aliens and ignores the American citizens who are the victims of illegal-alien crimes she will be rewarded and allowed to keep her job. In addition to protecting criminal illegal aliens, the bill (Sec. 407; see below) also protects and rewards the dishonest employers of these criminals. This is simply a bribe to ensure that employers provide the employment verification information required by illegal aliens to get on the pathway to amnesty and citizenship. In return for helping the illegal aliens who have been using the Social Security numbers of American children, employers are granted amnesty, pure and simple. They don't even have to pay a token fine. According to the bill, employers "shall not be subject to civil and criminal tax liability relating directly to the employment of such alien before receiving employment authorization under this subtitle" and they "shall not be subject to civil and criminal liability under section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1324a) for employing such unauthorized aliens." And what about those employers who obeyed the law and only hired legal workers and paid their taxes? They don’t even get a letter of thanks for playing by the rules – assuming they are still in business. So in spite of the denials by the advocates for illegal aliens and their phony $500 fine, this bill, just like all previous "comprehensive immigration reform" bills, is indeed an amnesty bill for illegal aliens and their employers who have committed and facilitated felonies ranging from identity theft to tax evasion. http://cis.org/mortensen/hr4321 Where is the justice in this bill for the millions of American men, women, and children who are the victims of illegal alien identity theft?

I have 8 good reasons to vote yes to Lisbon, have you got eight good reasons to vote no? Eight Good Reasons to Vote Yes to the Lisbon Reform Treaty 1. Lisbon Promotes our Values: Article 2 states: "The EU is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities. These values are common to the Member States in a Society in which pluralism, non-discrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity and equality between women and men prevail." Article 3 (5) states: "In its relations with the wider world the Union shall uphold and promote its values and interests and contribute to the protection of its citizens. It shall contribute to peace, security, the sustainable development of the earth, solidarity and mutual respect among peoples, free and fair trade, eradication of poverty and the protection of human rights, in particular, the rights of the child as well as the strict observance and the development of international law, including respect for the principles of the United Nations Charter". 2. Lisbon Strengthens Social Rights The Charter of Fundamental Rights contains the body of civil, political, social and economic rights agreed by the EU in 2000. The emphasis on economic and social rights, including workers' rights, is unique. At present the Charter has the status only of a declaration but when the Lisbon Reform Treaty is ratified it will be binding in Law. 3. Lisbon Respects Ireland's Neutrality The Lisbon Reform Treaty does not alter Ireland's neutrality in any way. Under the Common Foreign and Security Policy all EU civil and military missions must be first agreed by all Member States and must be in accordance with the United Nations Charter. Ireland's proud record of participation in missions abroad under the UN mandate to places of conflict such as Kosovo, the Lebanon and, most recently, Chad will continue as before 4. Lisbon Deepens the rights of Citizens Under Article 8 "every national of a Member State shall be a citizen of the Union. Citizenship of the Union shall be additional to national citizenship and shall not replace it". Article 8(b)4 states: "Not less than one million citizens who are nationals of a significant number of Member States may table the initiative of inviting the Commission, within the framework of its powers, to submit any appropriate proposal on matters where citizens consider that a legal act of the Union is required for the purpose of implementing the Treaties". Thus the Lisbon Treaty provides any citizen or group of citizens with an independent mechanism for placing an issue on the EU Agenda. 5. Lisbon Enhances the Role of the Dáil For the first time National Parliaments of the Member States will have a direct role in framing EU legislation. At present the EU Commission proposes legislation and the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament frame it. Under the Lisbon Reform Treaty the Dáil and Seanad will play a key role in determining new EU laws. 6. Lisbon Protects Public Services Article 136a makes legal provision for social dialogue and for recognition of the Social Partners. What this means in practice is that all EU laws will be "socially proofed" to ensure that they do not impact adversely on people's rights, on employment or on the wider community. For the first time there is a clear legal basis for EU laws to protect public services. 7. Lisbon Fights Global Poverty Article 188 (d) states that "Union development co-operation policy shall have as its primary objective the reduction and, in the long-term, the eradication of poverty". In Article 188J a strong commitment is given to Humanitarian Aid "for the purpose of third countries which are victims of natural and man-made disasters". 8. Lisbon Tackles Climate Change The Lisbon Reform Treaty gives a legal basis for combating climate change for the first time. Thus the EU is taking on a leadership role in tackling the most serious environmental problem facing the world, namely, climate change. Article 174 of the Treaty is amended to commit the EU to "Promoting measures at international level to deal with regional or worldwide environmental problems and, in particular, combating climate change".

This question is for Irish people, but feel free to give your opinions if you are a different nationality. (Please state what your nationality is... im sure few British BNPs and UKIPs will want there say!) Eight Good Reasons to Vote Yes to the Lisbon Reform Treaty 1.

Lisbon Respects Ireland's Neutrality The Lisbon Reform Treaty does not alter Ireland's neutrality in any way. Under the Common Foreign and Security Policy all EU civil and military missions must be first agreed by all Member States and must be in accordance with the United Nations Charter. Ireland's proud record of participation in missions abroad under the UN mandate to places of conflict such as Kosovo, the Lebanon and, most recently, Chad will continue as before 4. Lisbon Deepens the rights of Citizens Under Article 8 "every national of a Member State shall be a citizen of the Union. Citizenship of the Union shall be additional to national citizenship and shall not replace it". Article 8(b)4 states: "Not less than one million citizens who are nationals of a significant number of Member States may table the initiative of inviting the Commission, within the framework of its powers, to submit any appropriate proposal on matters where citizens consider that a legal act of the Union is required for the purpose of implementing the Treaties". Thus the Lisbon Treaty provides any citizen or group of citizens with an independent mechanism for placing an issue on the EU Agenda. 5. Lisbon Enhances the Role of the Dáil For the first time National Parliaments of the Member States will have a direct role in framing EU legislation. At present the EU Commission proposes legislation and the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament frame it. Under the Lisbon Reform Treaty the Dáil and Seanad will play a key role in determining new EU laws. 6. Lisbon Protects Public Services Article 136a makes legal provision for social dialogue and for recognition of the Social Partners. What this means in practice is that all EU laws will be "socially proofed" to ensure that they do not impact adversely on people's rights, on employment or on the wider community. For the first time there is a clear legal basis for EU laws to protect public services. 7. Lisbon Fights Global Poverty Article 188 (d) states that "Union development co-operation policy shall have as its primary objective the reduction and, in the long-term, the eradication of poverty". In Article 188J a strong commitment is given to Humanitarian Aid "for the purpose of third countries which are victims of natural and man-made disasters". 8. Lisbon Tackles Climate Change The Lisbon Reform Treaty gives a legal basis for combating climate change for the first time. Thus the EU is taking on a leadership role in tackling the most serious environmental problem facing the world, namely, climate change. Article 174 of the Treaty is amended to commit the EU to "Promoting measures at international level to deal with regional or worldwide environmental problems and, in particular, combating climate change".

Remember the view from 2005? Downsizing the Federal Government, Chris Edwards, Cato Institute, 2005. Instead of advocating tax increases in the name of fiscal responsibility, this book focuses on how the bloated federal budget ($2.5 trillion in 2005, or about 20% of gross domestic product) could be reduced if our leaders put their minds to it. Here are some important facts about this budget: State and local government are spending an additional 11% of GDP, so the total cost of government amounts to nearly 1/3 of the economy. 54% of current federal government spending is for “entitlements” (Social Security, Medicare, federal potion of Medicaid, etc.), 39% for discretional spending, and 7% for interest on the debt. Government spending as a % of GDP has grown, importantly due to entitlements: Federal-defense: 1900 – 1.0%; 1950 – 5.7%; 2005 – 4.0% (enough?) Federal-nondefense: 1900 – 1.8%; 1950 – 9.0%; 2005 – 16.0% State/local: 1900 – 5.0%; 1950 – 6.6%; 2005 – 11.0% Assuming rapid growth in entitlements due to retirement of baby boomers and longer human life spans, the Government Accountability Office projects federal expenditures rising to 23% of GDP by 2015, 33% of GDP by 2030, 45% of GDP by 2040. Mr. Edwards argues that many current federal programs are harmful (e.g., import restrictions), unduly beneficial to special interests (agricultural subsidies, corporate welfare), and/or better left to the states (education) or private sector (rail transportation). One special problem is government grants, which are used by the federal government to influence state or local government programs. Some $426 billion in grants were paid in 2005, ranging from $186 billion for the federal share of Medicaid and the $71 billion cost of the Dept. of Education (mostly grants) to “hundreds of more obscure programs that most taxpayers have never heard of.” The result is to encourage overspending for the stated grant purposes, foster federal, state and local bureaucracies to document compliance with federal mandates, and reduce flexibility and innovation at the state level. Another problem is duplication. Different federal programs often have overlapping objectives, resulting in “turf wars” and/or unnecessary costs to ensure coordination. Thus, the GAO has reported 50 different programs for the homeless in eight federal agencies, 23 programs for housing aid in four agencies, 26 programs for food and nutrition aid in six agencies, and 44 programs for employment and training services in nine agencies. If a program is ineffective or obsolete, the typical response is to create additional programs -- without eliminating the existing program. Edwards lists more than 100 programs and agencies as candidates for elimination, with resultant savings of $380 billion per year. He also advocates cost-saving changes to entitlement programs. If all of his recommendations were implemented, the current federal deficit could be converted to a surplus without raising taxes. Instead of downsizing the federal government, why not concentrate on managing its programs better? The answer is that efforts along this line, including the Committee of Economy and Efficiency in Government appointed by Taft in 1910, the Hoover Commissions (under Truman and Eisenhower, respectively), the Grace Commission under Reagan, Gore’s “reinventing government” plan, and Bush’s “management agenda,” have all failed. Government operations continue to be inefficient and in many cases ineffective. The current programs of the federal government are too diverse and complex for Congress to effectively manage them; it would be far better to do a few things well than to do a lot of things ineffectively. Congress has limited incentive to hold down spending because program costs represent benefits to its members (the gravy they seem themselves as responsible for producing). There is no market discipline if government programs fail (unless and until the taxpayers revolt) such as applies for undertakings in the private sector. Is government downsizing possible? Sure, if enough people demand it, but our political leaders typically hear more about how additional money should be spent than they do about how existing programs should be eliminated to save money. Politicians tend to get increasingly hooked on spending during their years in Washington, which is one of the reasons to support term limits.
How to serve the transgender community in a better way, so that they can live with pride & dignity in society? THE PRESENT ACT: There is only one provision in the Constitution of India for these people, i.e. 377. Section 377 of the IPC can never be the right provision for them. It only permits them for homosexuality and not at all overcomes their basic problems or the requirements of employment, self-employment, and living with pride and honor in the society. Article 14, 15, 19 & 21 states equal rights to every citizen of India but are not applicable to these people? Why they are entreated in today’s independent and republic Nation? This question is always unanswered……. Section 377 is not their necessity but they are in need of equal rights, love & dignity in the society. Efforts must be taken by the government to frame some other sections for them which will meet their purpose, survival and existence. THEIR PROBLEMS: They encounter a lot of tribulations like jobs, status, marriage, education, business and much more. There is no provision in the Indian constitution for these people. They don’t get job nor can they start any small business to fill their hunger. Their family is embarrassed on them and unknowingly they are detached from their family. Even the society curses them and looks them from an angle of vulgar ness. As a result they feel very insecure and join their own community satisfactorily. But there are no income sources to them and unwillingly they entreat everywhere and are also forced to sell themselves to meet their hunger. Why this is happening in our society? The question remains unanswered and many don’t feel necessary to speak on this issue. THEIR PERSONAL LIFE: To understand the various problems & troubles of transgender or eunuch community, one should definitely speak the family in which these people are born. They are born as males and the symptoms of eunuch ness are noticed between the age of 12 to 15 or 16. The society starts to curse them immediately after knowing their situation. And if the concern person is in schooling or in college, he is ultimately forced to give up education. The family of such person tries everything to bring them back, but nothing can exist before a natural misfortune. Slowly their family too gets annoyed with them & as such they feel very insecure even in the society and their family. Ultimately they prefer staying with their community people for security reasons. They belong to all the castes and creed and also celebrate all the festivals of our nation. They are the citizens of India without equal rights, why? Why can’t they come up shoulder to shoulder with the other citizens? The reason is only because of no existing laws for them in the Indian constitution. They don’t have any income sources for them and ultimately they have to plead, dance & sell themselves for starve. (THIS SITUATION IS GOING IN OUR INDEPENDENT & REPUBLIC INDIA) One can’t imagine a situation when ones childhood friend starts teasing and abusing the other when he knows he knows about the other’s eunuch ness. How it feels…..No one can understand….. This is one of the many other severe problems in our nation & I think that someone should start sweeping. I’m ready to sweep, provided the support of our honorable dignitaries and the government. Can anyone tell me the ways and means to serve these downtrodden society for long long years? Can anyone join me in my mission? Many e-mails, letters etc have been already been forwarded to various ministries like Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Bombay High Court, Supreme Court of India, National Human Rights Commission and many many more, but not yet attended by any them for whatsoever may be the reason.

Does this sound MODEST or general sounding???? (OPEN LINK!) Thanks "?"? I want to post it online - Titled - My Semi Professional Life - If it weren’t for the cut off mark of one page, and my pocket full of white lies, my work resume would be littered with typical full time entry level occupations. At various times I've managed over 50 personnel along with billing and scheduling as a secretary for a local security company; Cooked & Cleaned House for the elderly, been a waitress, a Subway sandwich artist, a Rite Aid cashier attendant, A Tulare County pre-foreclosure agent, Assisted a private investor in putting together a Huge Workshop Seminar for Real Estate, Worked as an independent negotiator for a Real Estate Brokerage getting commissions off of houses that I brought to him, working retail at the mall as a sales clerk (my sales topped the managers), then finally jumped on the bandwagon with Daniel when real estate was through the roof. I never in my life, believed I would work in this field of employment. I was never taught a thing about real estate by anyone, until I proved that I could help benefit someone financially as an intern or partner. After all, I was just another young girl. One who wasn’t outspoken or sought to be in the spotlight. I read up on plenty of books related to the subject, and felt confident enough to make my first negotiated contract. I remember how nervous I was, made the deal, and the rest is history. I realized around the year of 2006 how Lazy local Realtors were. I realized that there were a lot of potential deals to be made because if the Realtors weren’t making deals with out of state people (trying to get listings) who was? Apparently no one. My first independent job was working with Daniel, buying crappy pieces of land, from the out of state owners, and reselling to local California folks, at higher prices. Back then people were lending their money everywhere so that’s where we got our start up money. It was a good way to get into the business because we were putting extremely low amounts of money up, and getting a fair share back. Of course those days are over, however Daniel and I have still continued to find more and more areas of interest that other people just don’t seem to follow up on. As a team, we work out very well, because we both excel in different areas that the other person may not be good at. Its nice to have started from scratch together. That way, in time, we can go back and look at all the business & financial struggles we’ve come across together as a young couple.

Barack Obama DROPS TAXES!!!!? Barack Obama's Plan Support Working Families Provide a "Making Work Pay Tax Cut" for America's Working Families: American people work longer and harder than those in any other wealthy nation in the world. But their hours are getting longer and their wages aren't getting any higher. In addition they are being squeezed by rising health care, education and energy costs. Rather than relieving the burden on working families, the current administration has provided tax cut after tax cut to the wealthiest Americans and enacted tax breaks for the most well-connected corporations. Barack Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they deserve. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. This refundable income tax credit will provide direct relief to American families who face the regressive payroll tax system. It will offset the payroll tax on the first $8,100 of their earnings while still preserving the important principle of a dedicated revenue source for Social Security. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans. The tax credit will also provide relief to self-employed small business owners who struggle to pay both the employee and employer portion of the payroll tax. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit offsets some of this self-employment tax as well. Provide a Living Wage: Barack Obama believes that people who work full time should not live in poverty. Before the Democrats took back Congress, the minimum wage had not changed in 10 years. Even though the minimum wage will rise to $7.25 an hour by 2009, the minimum wage's real purchasing power will still be below what it was in 1968. As president, Obama would further raise the minimum wage, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers can earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing -- things so many people take for granted. Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit: In both the Illinois State Senate and the U.S. Senate, Obama has championed efforts to expand the EITC, which is one of the most successful anti-poverty programs to date. As president, Obama will reward work by increasing the number of working parents eligible for EITC benefits, increasing the benefit available to parents who support their children through child support payments, and reducing the EITC marriage penalty which hurts low-income families. Under the Obama plan, full-time workers making minimum wage would get an EITC benefit up to $555, more than three times greater than the $175 benefit they get today. If the workers are responsibly supporting their children on child support, the Obama plan would give those workers a benefit of $1,110. Expand Paid Sick Days: Half of all private sector workers have no paid sick days and the problem is worse for employees in low-paying jobs, where less than a quarter receive any paid sick days. Barack Obama will require that employers provide seven paid sick days per year. Expand the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): The FMLA covers only certain employees of employers with 50 or more employees. Barack Obama will expand the FMLA to cover businesses with 25 or more employees. Barack Obama will expand the FMLA to cover more purposes as well, including allowing workers to take leave for elder care needs; allowing parents up to 24 hours of leave each year to participate in their children's academic activities at school; allowing leave to be taken for purposes of caring for individuals who reside in their home for 6 months or more; and expanding FMLA to cover leave for employees to address domestic violence and sexual assault. Encourage States to Adopt Paid Leave: As president, Barack Obama will initiate a 50 state strategy to encourage all of the states to adopt paid-leave systems. Obama will provide a $1.5 billion fund to assist states with start-up costs and to help states offset the costs for employees and employers. Expand High-Quality Afterschool Opportunities: Barack Obama will double funding for the main federal support for afterschool programs, the 21st Century Learning Centers program, to serve one million more children. Obama will include measures to maximize performance and effectiveness across grantees nationwide. Expand the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit: The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit provides too little relief to families that struggle to afford child care expenses. Barack Obama will reform the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit by making it refundable and allowing low-income families to receive up to a 50 percent credit for their child care expenses. Protect Against Caregiver Discrimination: Workers with family obligations often are discriminated against in the workplace. Barack Obama will commit the government to enforcing recently-enacted Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidelines on caregiver discrimination. Expand Flexible Work Arrangements: Barack Obama will address this concern by creating a program to inform businesses about the benefits of flexible work schedules for productivity and establishing positive workplaces; helping businesses create flexible work opportunities; and increasing federal incentives for telecommuting. Obama will also make the federal government a model employer in terms of adopting flexible work schedules and permitting employees to petition to request flexible arrangements.
