Would a flat tax work? And Taxing the rich extra is NOT the right thing to do, why should we penalize them simply because they are succesful?

I realize that three fourths of success is one hundred percent connections. (if that even reasons) As such I was wanting to ask anyone out there who might be knowledgeable in regards to building up connections amongst people. In short I am a young college student who has a burning desire to be more successful than everyone else. It is a nature in me that will not accept to be anything less than absolutely the best at what I do, no matter what that is. i also know though that I have not a clue how to get to know the people at the top in order to build a network of people that I can use in the future.
So how does a young, relatively unnoticed and unimportant, college student meet people whom he has absolutely no chance of meeting under normal everyday circumstances? what can i do to get my name out there so that people will remember me when I go knocking on the door of opportunity upon graduation? Thanks for your help!

We hired someone to paint our home two months ago and paid them without seeing their work. They did a horrible job and refuse to refund any of our money, after I threatened to sue them they are now lying and saying that we owe them more money that they never previously asked for. They say that the are going to put a lien on our home if we don't sign a contract stating that we were satisfied with their work. Also, everything was verbally done and nothing is on paper. Can they legally put a lien on our home with no proof that money is owed to them??? It doesn't seem fair that anyone would be able to put a lien on anyone else's home. Please help me!!!Thanks

Heres the deal . . .We sold an item on Ebay and we thought that the buyer was sending a Western Union money order. Instead he sent us the funds through Western Union and he gave us a MTCN number and said that it was available to be picked up. How do we do this? Do we go to any Western Union like at a grocery store or gas station and pick this up or is there a certain place we do this. We have no clue.

For example, if you want to know the manufacturer of:
Kroger Potato Chips (Kroger)
Great Value Granola Bars (Walmart)
Private Selection Frozen Blueberries (Kroger)

Is there any way to figure this out? The retailers don't manufacture this stuff themselves - they pay manufacturers and packagers to do it for them.

I was checking my credit report and noticed a debt for $9000.00, the original balance for $5500.00 that was in collection from Sears from 2003. In 2003 I was paying off the debt even though it was 120 days past due. At that time the statements stopped coming and I inquired to Sears about it and the said that they had no knowledge of the account.

I never received anything for a collection agent concerning the debt. My credit report does say that this debt will stop being reported in November of 2009. What does that mean?

Now I have a bad stain on my credit and was wondering how to deal with this.

If not, is there any thing that we can do about it? Is it against the law? I know you would say buy a house instead of renting but I'm not ready to settle yet...

Every mortgage company (in FL) requires that the borrower have homeowner's insurance. If you do not purchase it youself at the time of your purchasing the home the mortgage company chooses one for you and your account is escrowed.
Does anyone know the name of the mortgage company that Suntrust Bank currently defaults their borrowers to if the borrower does not provide proof of insurance soon after the closing?
ANY input would be helpful. This info is no where to be found on their websites and I would rather not call the Suntrust Mortgage Company at this time.

I have an idea that I have "patented" and I want to start "research and development" on. This idea will become a matter of "public safety" and I can see it becoming a law or mandated. It is WILL absolutely save lives.

Does anyone know of a good place to start applying for a government grant? Should I actually look at other grants instead of government grants, considering that this will likely become a matter of public and poltical interest?

Hi, I've been looking to add a balcony to the second floor of my parent's home. It would be large, around 8x8 and be situated over a driveway. I do understand a permit needs to be obtained for such a structure, but I was wondering if the house and property would be taxed at higher rates since the value of the property would probably be increased. Is there any estimation on how much more expensive this would be (we are located in Queens, NY)? Thanks for reading!

Hello,

Does anyone know how to list a 'pick up only' item on Ebay?

I've looked on the site and can't find how to do it when listing something up. I'd like it to look like this:

Postage costs: Pick up only - see item description for details
Post to: Will arrange for local pick up only (no postage).

But, instead it looks like the only choice is to put postage as 'Free', which is misleading.

Can anyone help?

Thank you!

My mother has a LLc single member company, Im helping her with her business everyday, I don't get any payment for that, so its advisable that my mother include me like her employee, Could her business have any problem if IRS find out that she has an employee and she doesn't declare me like that because I'm working for free? What will be the advantage if she declare me how employee ? Could she deduce more taxes if declares me employee?

Thank you in advance.

I have a year lease that started July 1, 2007 for a condo. I've paid rent for July/August + a security deposit. My landlord just called to ask if I wanted to buy the condo for 70K below value in a short sale. I think she is foreclosing (or going to) because I think that's why people do short sales, right?

How long before I can be a evicted? How will I get my security deposit back - it was equivalent to one month's rent? What should I do??

This is in Fairfax County, Virginia.
