I was regional financial director for a multinational usa corporation back in the late 90s and early 00s. We had a major portion of our revenue in Japan. My career barely survived the currency crisis of 97. Currency fluctuations are the biggest risk of fixed long term sales director contract for a USA corporation. Back then, the yen was between 102 and 120. When it went to 102 I was More

I am rich. I legally earn what I have. I am not greedy associates or immoral for wanting to keep it. I pay over $100,000 per year in federal income tax and work very long hours and endure substantial stress every day. I resent the fact that 47% pay zero and are lazy. I am tired of trying to explain to liberals that they are the greedy ones who demand and confiscate what they have not More

Jay....sit down and let some blood get to your brain for a minute...try to think. IF China does not spend the paper money we send to them...if they do not show to manage time up in the US asking us to give them goods and services in return for these paper dollars.... if China chooses to sit on this paper and chooses not to try to get anything of value for it.... how does that hurt the More

Ms. Walraven, I agree with you on all points.

(Fund managers also make exorbitant income coaching skills for managers More

Sverbal abuse in marriagece marriage by definition is between a man and a woman then the judge was in error because it has nothing to do with equal protection.

Proposition 8 is not necessary because the word marriage More

So, Patty, when do we start dismissing people based on the financial success of their parents? Last Monday was MLK day and yet you're judging someone... not on the content of their character, no? I'm really tired of life of this assumption that children/grandhildren of wealthy people are automatically ungrateful do-nothings who don't deserve their status in life. I'll tell you what... More

All Cuomo with his HVCC and Dodd-Frank accomplished was requiring AMCs (Cuomo use to sit on the board of an AMC). AMCs just take advantage of being a middle man and take 40% to 60% of the performance appraisal methods fee. The consumer gets an appraiser who's willing to pump out an appraisal for $200 and the AMC pockets $300 for a few screen clicks. Most good, experienced appraisers More

There are workplace Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations. There are laws that allow people to organize and join unions.

Michael- No one is asserting that state and other government workers don't accomplish things- otherwise, we could abolish government entirely. It does not follow however that unions make this possible.
