I wanted to know how much the tax is or at least what taxes you pay in th USA. Do you pay income tax local government tax, car tax, duty tax, tax on goods.
Here in the UK its about 20% on tax and then 100 pounds on council tax and 17.5% VAT and then car tax
Is it really as good in the US as they make out??

I am working on a proposal for our company to benefit/help long term employees thru salary loans. But I need justification as to why the company should provide for the loan instead of the bank. Hope you can provide the names of the company. Thanks!

I heard from some people that people who turn in applications wearing jeans get a "B.J." stamp on their application, which means it goes to get shredded. Is this true?

i was paying on a car loan- which i had defaulted on back in 2003, and started paying on again in 2005- to aug of this year
well we could not work out a way to continue paying with the bank- they just ignored us- we were wanting to make a reasonable payment so it could get paid off quicker, but they refused it and so we stop paying on it

now my question is shouldn't this accout go to a collection agency rather than the bank its originated from?
another question, i just recently stopped paying them for the second time, shouldn't they be calling me to work something out? because they have never called my house in the past couple of months after we made no payment, i thought they are suppose to get in contact with you to make arrangements on the payment before going to a lawyer

please don't give rude answers i want serious answers only
i know i should be paying on this, i don't need anyone to answer this if you are going to say pay your debt- thats what i am working on doing

I have found when dealing with a problem/concern regarding Carnival, it is extremely difficult to get questions answered or problems solved. In reading blogs and passenger comments, it seems to be the norm rather than the exception. As with anything, problems arise. I have written, called only to get voice mail with no returned calls and emailed. What is the answer to resolving issues and problems at Carnival. Is no one accessible in mangement?

From 1926 to today, most studies show that the long-run rate of return for U.S. stocks has been about 10 percent. This is far above the long-run rate o return for bonds, CDs, money market accounts and other fixed assets. Why is this so?
