1. NY TIMES 4/22/13 Restyled as REAL ESTATE TRUSTS, varied businesses avoid taxes. The IRS is granting special exemptions from Federal Taxes, to corporations not registered as real estate trusts. The Corrections Corporation which is making the switch to a trust will save $70Million in taxes; Gaming Casinos and Spas will also save money as a REIT. A bonanza for a few, while the middle class is burdened with more then it’s fair share. ( Personally, I’m delighted that the Times is continuing it’s investigative reporting. Good job.). We have choices?
2. NY NEWS Channel #1 According to a spokesperson from the NYU SCHOOL OF REAL ESTATE there are plans under way to upgrade the city’s infrastructure. Plans should be available next month for Public Review. With the scheduled boom in East Midtown building, according to Robert A.M. Stern, the architect, infrastructure should precede the ” building boom” to facilitate the movement of people to places and preserve the district as it evolves. Building on what we have is a choice. Planning for the evolution of the City is a choice. With the advent of future super storms, planning our Cityscape becomes a Community Choice.
3. 6:30 PM CHANNEL 13 Nightly Business Review there was a discussion on the collection of sales tax on all e- commerce business, proposed by Congress and agreed to by Amazon and Walmart. My gut tells me no way, not now, it’s another burden on middle class shoppers? But it is a win win for Walmart, they collect the tax but don’t have to remit the tax to the government. Good deal for them, extra revenue and a further burden on the struggling middle class. Choices for all!
4. LOL. NY TIMES 4/24/13. SEC gets plea : Force companies to air donations; focus on Political Aid! “Business groups ready to campaign against disclosure rule. The US Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and The Business Roundtable are urging Fortune 200 Companies to push back against disclosing their political contributions to shareholders.” This may or may not become an SEC RULING, but it raises a very important question: How much information should be disclosed to shareholders investing in a corporation? In my opinion, the more information available, the more informed the investor! Transparency is a choice. Every corporation should be required to disclose their discretionary spending: grants, loans, donations: anything that ultimately effects the Corporate bottom line, thus impacting the shareholder investment.
Hey this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if
blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.

The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed
soon. Many thanks

Why users still make use of to read news papers when in this
technological world everything is available on net?
Hi: Thanks for your comment. I think a combination of the net and “print”, provide more in depth coverage.
If you scan the Web, only, you tend to overlook articles that may be interesting and relevant, but were out of your line of sight.
That’s why I scan as many sources as possible. Print, magazines, web, live conferences, the more you know, the more you want to learn.
All the best. Joyce
Hi: All forms of media are valuable.
I use paper, magazines and the Web; but only sites that I screen and verify.

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot

I’ve been browsing online greater than 3 hours nowadays, but I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful value sufficient for me.

Nice post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m impressed! Very useful info specially the last part 🙂 I care for such information a lot. I was seeking this certain information for a long time. Thank you and good luck.
You’re welcome.
I’ll continue to provide updates.
Please share with your friends and comment whenever you read an interesting article.

I think what you wrote was actually very logical. But, what about this?
suppose you composed a catchier post title? I am
not suggesting your information isn’t solid., however what if you added a title to possibly get a person’s
attention? I mean PUBLIC ADVOCACY: Financial Reform & NYC |
thevoiceofjoyce is a little vanilla. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they write article titles to grab viewers interested. You might add a related video or a pic or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got
to say. Just my opinion, it would make your blog a little livelier.
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
I’d have to check with you here. Which is not something I usually do! I enjoy reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!
