Prop 29 is again DOA

November 16, 2022 Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A. 4 Comments

Whew!

Just like American voters realized what was at stake in the 2022 elections for the Senate, the House, and the State offices (let’s hear it for voter sanity), the voters in California also recognized the folly that the SEIU_UHW (Service Employees International Union- United Healthcare Workers West) was trying to impose on dialysis providers. For the third time in 5 years, the voters rejected the proposition proffered by the union to pressure Fresenius and DaVita to negotiate with the unions by a margin of more than 2 to 1.

Tax Relief- IF you are a company owner

November 25, 2020 Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A. 2 Comments

Agreement- at least in modern day America- comes slowly, if at all.

Of course, when one party takes it upon itself to harm citizens of states that vote for their counterpart, it becomes even more evident why such problems exist.

How the Port Authority Rips Off The Public

September 5, 2019 Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A. 4 Comments

When I lived in New York, one of my pet peeves (trust me, I had a whole menagerie) was the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. This criminal organization (that statement will be justified as you read this blog) has been ripping off the citizens of Metropolitan New York for nearly 8 decades. (It also rips off those who must traverse the bridges and tunnels between New York and New Jersey that it “owns”).

Blue State Revenge?

June 6, 2018 None None 2 Comments

Do you guys remember when I told you that some Blue States were going to create their own version of tax chicanery to deal with the GOP onslaught on their finances? (We are talking about that $10,000 maximum SALT – state and local taxes- deduction limit.)

Point/Counterpoint

February 6, 2018 Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A.

I told you that the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (sic) was partly created (or maneuvered) as political retribution by the GOP against those states that don’t vote their way. (Here’s but one example.) Which was the driving force behind the plot to outlaw State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions of $ 10,001 or more. Which would allow the U.S. Treasury collect some $ 650 billion more over the 8 years that this restriction is in effect. (The personal tax rate changes under this Act expire in 2026.)

Road Trip

December 5, 2012 Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A. 12 Comments

So, I took a road trip today. Something I have not done in a while; to visit a client. And, as I’ve written often, this sort of “adventure” presents me with cogitation time. But, today, I did not develop a new product or service. (Darn it! That would have been nice.) Instead, I considered the current state of affairs. It hit me with a start how inconsistent I have been recently- and how inconsistent many of my friends have been.
