Second Chance Episode 2: Sell Yourself in One Sentence
Our entrepreneurs deliver their business pitches to an investor. Find out who rises and who falls on this episode of Second Chance, as they each vie for $150K — and a second shot at success.
lets just say i get a venture capitalist/investor to invest money into my business. Lets just sat that my?
business fails . . . .does that mean that i have to repay that the venture capitalist/investor lost? i dont think that i should, after all they fully understand the risk . . . . ;but what is the correct answer?
How should I register? Republican or Democrat? I’m interested in a career in politics?
I am still young and confused about how I should register. Here are my views.
After you tell me what I should register as can you tell me if you would ever support me in an election.
I believe in lower taxes, I agree with a flat income tax and a flat sales tax. I also support a sales tax holiday to last thru the month of December to boost buying.
I think that lower taxes and ax breaks should be used as incentives for companies to come back to the US and so that small businesses and entrepreneurs have a fair shot. I am a believer in capitalism with some regulation (health benefits, workers comp, and work hours obviously).
I think that a good program would be a small business bond program where average Americans can lend money to government in secured loan with interests, so that that money can then be lent to small businesses but lenders would get money back with interest.
I also believe that taxes should not control behavior but instead should be used as a way to receive revenue.
On social issues. I believe that a civil union for any two consenting adults is a must but am opposed to calling it marriage because marriage is a religious ceremony. When it comes to abortion I strongly oppose it and believe that government money should not be used to fund abortions. I do believe though that it must remain legal but that people that do it should do it with their own money. I oppose GOVERNMENT funding of stem cell research and cloning.
On foreign policy. I am against entangling alliances and I believe that our military resources should be used only for self-defense (Ex. 9/11). I also have my own philosophy called “western-hemispherianism”, where I think that the US should its private sector should instead negotiate and create jobs in the western hemisphere rather than in eastern countries like China and India. Doing so would weaken our political enemies and bring an end to the immigration crisis (the biggest reason why people migrate is lack of jobs). On that note I am strongly against illegal immigration. I support raids and deportation and the construction and investment in more border security. I believe in protectionist policies (tariffs) against companies that have jobs in eastern countries.
On social security I oppose it except for helping those with disabilities and widows. I do not believe that retirees should be supported by the government but that they should rather have personal responsibility and save for the future. They should be able to use their money to invest how over they like. When it comes to welfare I believe that irresponsible parents and people who do not seek a job or an education. Welfare should be used and not abused.
On energy I believe in investing in nuclear, clean coal, geothermal, solar, natural gas, bio-fuels, and the exploitation of OUR fossil fuels. I believe in energy independence.
When it comes to health I think that workers should be able to choose to keep their own health insurance thru their jobs, purchase on their own. I also support legislation where hospitals and clinics can enlist their services in a database and where they promise to provide services to families that can prove that they have a wage of under $50,000. In exchange I would promise the hospital an annual $1 billion and clinics $4million (excludes cosmetic procedures and abortions). I support cancer research and AIDS research as well as autism research.
Finally!Education. I think that the system needs to go through some serious reform. Teacher’s abilities should be tested by their respective states. States should also make legislation to not allow cell phone access in schools. They should also make contracts with internet service providers to make sure that all schools have access to the internet and that students have their textbooks. I am also a supporter of the voucher program for students who wish to apply for alternative schools. I also wish we had a program where students who graduate college/apprenticeship for example can receive a $1500 bonus after they graduate. I also think that cities should create local workshops paid by the government where students can go to and get tutoring free of charge by college students in certain fields (mathematics,literature). This could count as work study for college students while at the same time prepping elementary and high school kids. AND OF COURSE PARENTS MUST DO THEIR PART!

Is there a difference between rich Democrats and rich Republicans?
I heard this explanation recently:
Rich Republicans are self-made entrepreneurs who started from zero and worked their way to wealthy. They are largely the first generation millionaires in their family. They live on their incomes and use the money they make to make more money meaning they don’t have a lot of extra cash laying around. Consequently high income taxes hurt them and keep them from investing.
Rich Democrats have largely inherited their money. When they started their first venture they had the backing of Daddy’s money and contacts. The bulk of their money is in tax shelters and off shore accounts meaning high income taxes don’t hurt them as much. They don’t need their incomes to live on. They are elites who support higher income taxes in order to keep new entrepreneurs from encroaching on their “position” and ruining their country club atmosphere.
What say you?
