Is not a fan of getting up early in the morning.

DOES like to stay up late.

Has NOT worked for another person since he was 23. (he does have great clients he loves though)

Never had a job for someone else more than about a year.

IS a college drop out (still on a formal education sabbatical). Will earn honorary degrees later.

Turned DOWN a $45,000 Job offer from a Fortune 500 company when he was 19 years old.

   Okay. For a lot of us, or maybe few of us. Taxes are a big issue this Election. The rich don’t want more taxes, and the middle class and poor want to take from the rich and redistribute. 

Heres one of my personal views. If we keep it the same, keep lower taxes the rich stay rich. If we raise taxes and redistribute to the poor and middle class…Since they don’t know know how to handle their own money (obviously since they are in the situation they are in) they will just spend their money or put it back in the economy. As we all know most rich people own business in the economy which is most likely where the middle class and poor peoples money will end up after being redistributed to them. 

So all in all if we redistribute the riches money, the poor and middle class will give it right back to those rich people mostly thru consumption.

So either way the rich still win. It may be a quick impediment but the rich still win and the middle class and poor still keep doing what they do to keep them in their situation.

In conclusion its all good either way for those who understand how it all works out in the wash…

In these strange days one thing remains constant. “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer”. How beautiful. For those of lack mentality, poverty mentality, and lack of personal responsibility this is a heavy burden to bare. For me, for those of my similar thought process it is a time to rejoice. 

I hear of this “bad housing” economy. However I daly see the construction of a 10,000 square foot home on my way to work. I receive an email from the Greenbriar Sporting Club that states they have had one of their best years to date with over $24,000,000.00 in sales. Who ever these buyers are, they are surely not participating in this “dire economic situation”. For me this is a time to realize the fact that if I can think and act like these people, I will never have a personally “dire economic situation”. 

Recently in some personal testing of not only the effectiveness of PPC but the Influence of PPC. I have found the potentially harmful use of PPC advertising on someone else’s brand. First off was the distribution of factual and press worthy information about local Raleigh NC Clubs; Yancy’s restaurant and the Longbranch Saloon music club. According to the TBJ “two popular Raleigh destinations, have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.” So in the efforts of testing I created one PPC ad. See: A fully legitimate ad, one that is true, backed up by a legitamate print publicly distributed news papers website. However these two Raleigh NC clubs are still in operation and for all I know, doing everything they can to get out of bankruptcy. Although because an individual with the knowledge of how to create PPC ads can have a potentially significant influence on a company. Second is a local Raleigh NC restaurant I have frequented very often…until recently. Yes, a local restaurant that on one occasion had extremely poor customer service. Perhaps I took the lead of a great friend & SEO PRO that had an extremely delayed payment from a non-profit church in the area. I went to the web with my poor experiance. And created an Ad, See:As we all know, for this day-in-age the individual has possibly never had the leverage and impact available that we have now. These situations are great examples of situations YOUR brand and business can be affected by the opinion of one individual with the knowledge of how to spread that opinion. The Point of this Post was not to further voice my opinions. However to communicate the need for Reputation Management of individual companies and the concern to Google for the need of policing the ads that are created. The Ads I create have run for weeks on end with no question. I have since paused the Bankruptcy ads. However no intention in pausing the poor customer service ad. My question to the readers is: Is this an “un-fair” and some way only an internet professional can to do. Or is this totally cool for any and everyone to do in reviews of local or national business’? I look forward to your input! Also, If I were running the internet publication of the press article the business’ in highlight would be perfect keyword targets to generate more hits and ad impressions for my publication…for only 5 cents or less this would be a more than justifiable cost to generate hundreds of viewers over time!

11-24-2009 Update. the above book was good. but looking back on it…most of the companies he wrote about have gone out of business or are in hot water…kinda funny. ah well. some good info there. and they still talk about the time periods that these big companies lasted and were great.
