Why do people think that taxing Big Oil and other Big companies more is a good idea?

March 12010

If you tax oil the oil companies will pass that tax on to the consumer raising gas prices. If you tax other companies more they also will pass that tax on to you, the consumer, making everything more expensive.
Also, raising taxes cost companies money which will make them shy away from hiring new employees and/or giving raises to current employees.
Do people just want the rich to PAY regardless of what that costs the average American?

It’s because the Leaders those people look to, are fools. What you said is spot on. ALSO when you tax them their profit on the books will be down creating less wealth for the company on the books making the dividend payments, payments to the stocks value go down or stay the same. That is making the investment in that company that you have NOT A GOOD INVESTMENT, forcing you to sell off, so that you can make money elsewhere. That forces the company to liquidate assets or borrow to cover the sell off making the company worth less and so on and so forth creating a downward spiral in their value. Many companies are experiencing this right now as reflected in the market. It is whats happening now. The market is below 8k from almost 15k. People don’t want to pay the increased taxes soon after jan 20th so they are swiftly reorganizing their portfolios.

Where can i get a low fixed rate student loan from a well known company?

March 12010

Also I want the one that you don’t have to pay until 6 months after college.
im only taking out 9500 for the first 3 quarters. and i have to pay it by next month the 15th. school starts in the summer.

Good luck getting a fixed rate in this economy. If you want any shot you’ll need a co-signer with great credit.

I went with loans from Huntington and I they’ve been good so far, decent interest rates (I think I was able to get 2/5 fixed), 6 month grace period, lots of options if I can’t make my payments, ect.

Are there any based in London?

I’m just guessing here, but just open your mouth and ask. Dial 118 or whatever, and ask the operator how to go about getting a job.

Maybe you can get an address from their website.

Good luck x

How can I get the company that provides false information to the employers remove my record?

March 12010

There is a company USIS ( http://www.usis.com/default.aspx ) that provides the new employers with the false information about me. And I end up not getting hired by the new companies. Is there any way I can legally force them to remove the false information from my record? Can lawyers take care of this? Is there any other agencies I can contact to have this company remove the false records? II have tried to dispute the information, but the company is not responsive. Thank you!

The cheapest way is the best way to start. Send them a carefully crafted letter that looks as if a lawyer wrote it. Something along the lines of

"The information that you are giving out about xxxx is false. This is causing me to suffer severe financial penalties and mental anguish. Now that you have been made aware that the record is incorrect, you will be knowingly and maliciously spreading false information if you continue to provide companies with these details. Please amend your records immediately. . . ."

Make sure you address this to the CEO of the company.

Then you mail it recorded delivery, return receipt required. Keep the return receipt and a copy of your letter.

I assure you that they will amend their records!

Is network marketing company USANA a scam?

March 12010

The health science company of nutritional supplements known as USANA is an MLM, a multilevel marketing company. Is it a scam?

A scam is basically lying to people, giving someone an impression that is not accurate. Usana is a total scam in that they present all these earnings that all these reps are making but do not disclose the real numbers, do not disclose that their top reps are making more money from training materials and “other” company compensation than from their networks, etc. Anyone new to the opportunity would not know this and would simply look at the model and think it is possible.

No one is arguing here that you cannot make money or the system itself is at fault (that is an answer to a question you did not ask), but the money being represented is the scam, as it is not only not accurate, it is a blatant lie…in other words, a scam. Usana is badly known for this from anyone with inside knowledge of the top representatives who make all the claims.

Just because people fail does not make this a scam. People fail in all walks of life. But if I sold you a restaurant and gave you paper work stating how much business I had in the last 2 years, and that paperwork was blatantly and deliberately false, than that would be a scam…and that is in essence what is going on in Usana. The leaders will defend themselves by telling you that you should not listen to negative people or some people do not have what it takes (or any assortment of reasons to thwart your line of question) but the reality it none of it makes the scam any less of scam.
