In a major speech about the economy last week, President Obama reiterated his support for letting most of the Bush tax cuts expire for taxpayers with incomes above $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples), while making the tax cuts permanent for all other taxpayers. so this mean that the lower and middle class will still be the same but the upper class will have to be paying more. according to this article under the presidental top bracket will rise to 39.6 percent. A stealth provision that phases out high-income taxpayers’ itemized deductions will also be reinstated, adding another 1.2 percentage points to the effective tax rate, bringing it to 40.8 percent. Wages and some of the pass-through income will also remain subject to a 2.9 percent Medicare tax. another plan is Under the president’s plan, in 2011 and 2012, the top rate on gains, now 15 percent, will go to 20 percent, with the stealth provision adding 1.2 percentage points, sending the tax back to its 1997–2002 level of 21.2 percent. Starting in 2013, though, capital gains will also be hit by the UIMC, pushing the rate to 25.0 percent.

The funny thing about taxes is when you put one in affect  you can never please everyone. they either say its  unfair, comples, the economy not ready for it ..... The reuplicans want taxes lowered for everyone which isnt a bad idea. they think that lower taxs will generate an economic growth in turn will generate more tax revenue. accordint to this website the people who want to raise taxes would be the demeocrats. apprantly claim those groups aren’t paying their fair share and were the ones most handsomely rewarded by the Bush tax cuts. Those who do not want higher taxes note that those in the top 1 percent of taxpayers (those making more than $250,000) - already pay roughly 40 percent of all federal income tax revenue collected, while those in the top 0.5 percent (those making more than $500,000) pay close to 30 percent of all income tax revenue. Taxing them more, critics say, may have the inverse effect of lowering federal tax receipts because they will seek more ways to shelter their money from taxes.

Despite all of the political rhetoric about “tax cuts for the rich” and the “middle class squeeze,” a recent analysis by the Tax Foundation shows that federal income taxes have fallen for groups at all income levels as a result of the Bush tax cuts, compared to the 1999 tax rates under Clinton. which means that we have saved more money. the group tyhat saved the most money was the married group with 50,000 of houehold income. this means that they pais 21 percent less under the Bush era the hey were the Clinton era. Well rumor has it that Obama is willing to extend the Bush Tax Cuts but only for the lower, and midddle class and not for the upper and people in the upper class are having issues with that

Lerner, J. J. (2007). Assets, Liabilities, and Capital. In Bookkeeping and Accounting (4th ed., pp. 3-14). McGraw-Hill Companies.

In this book readers learn about formulas for bookkeeping if you were to be an accountant in a firm or a business. One of the formulas that accountants must learn is that assets equal liabilities plus owners equity. So this mean is if some one says your assets are worth  $99,000 make sure they are right by adding up your liabilities that are $80,000 plus your owner’s equity that are $20,000 which comes to a grand total of $100,000. So  in another words accountant can make mistake so if you know what you are doing always check because you might get less then what you deserve. This book also teaches you what assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity is. Liabilities is money owed to an outsider. Owners equity is the interest of the owners in the business. It is also the difference between assets and liabilities. Assets are items owned by a business that have money value. Must Assets equal up to what the cash plus supplies plus equipment cost and that is usually what your assets should be. Most assets are worth usually in the thousand range. This book should be read  because it shows the reader and anyone  how exactly the people who are finding how much thing cost the formulas and how they come up with what everything should be cash wise.

This article is about how the accountant business is making new rules that will hopeful be in effect as of 2013. The major point to this  plan all happening is leasing accountants. Which requires business to book leases as assets and liabilities on their own balance sheet. By doing this the companies and business will have to one. three trillion dollars  in leases on their very own balance sheets, according to estimates by the  Securities and Exchange Commission. But some private companies that follow the GAAP accounting will have to lease around two trillion dollars. The purpose of this rule changing is to stop  “significant off-balance-sheet activity for leases,” said Russell G. Golden, the technical director of FASB. The bad side about this plan is that business who are already struggling with debt loads will have a major hit if this plan is set inti motion. While this plan seems to be like its going to happen, their have been people informing clients of what is going to happen so they know what is going on. Also this doesn’t just effect clients it also effect the leases in other words If you have a 10-year lease, it will mean putting twice as much debt on the balance sheet as a five-year lease, so some companies may want to go short term,“ said Dale F. Schlather, an executive vice president for the commercial real estate company Cushman & Wakefield and chairman of the New York chapter for the industry group CoreNet Global. By reading this article people can understand that the accountant world is not all about numbers its about money and making big decisions that will effect a lot of people.

People say that things can change the world, well this group or organization thinks that accounting can and it very well might. We all know  the natural resources revenues flows into our government coffers and then it disappears for a short period of time then comes back again to some how become private jets, cars ... if the natural resources revenues had an accountant maybe the government would spend it money better and we wouldn’t be in so much debt as a country. Also consider this that the private-funded IASB, which deals with accounting has been setting standards for over one hundred and ten countries, which has had the power to significantly reduce the aspect for corruption and  support the socially-responsible management of natural resources wealth.  There are many people who think having an accountant in the natural resources revenues is a bad idea but so,me examples to show why it is a good idea is. Because instead of finding our own oil we go to the late San Abacha, the president of the oil-rich in Nigeria between 1993-1998 and with the united states asking for oil then finding it our selves we have spent around two to five billion public wealth, which we could have spent on something else. The reason why accounting  can change the world because if people can budget their money better then we wouldn’t be in such debt. This is why I suggest to readers to read this blog about accounting

Web. 23 Oct. 2010. <tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com...‌2010/‌08/‌why-the-fight-over-the-bush-tax-cuts-is-just-the-beginning.php>. the thing about whether or not to expire to the the Bush Tax Cuts is that either way it will cos us either way. The republicans want to keep the the Bush Tax Cuts for a totally cost of 3.8 trillion over a ten year spane. Democratic leaders on the Hill and in the White House, however, want to preserve most of the cuts, too, and just let the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans expire. That would still increase deficits by about $3.1 trillion over 10 years -- not as fiscally responsible as they’d have you believe. Also thetre are graphs that lets us know that a $700 billion difference between the Democrats’ plan and the Republicans’ would not make a huge dent in the deficits.

Accountant it seems create like if you are a great accounting then you can make lot of money. But everyone makes mistakes and some mistakes have a big consequence. Apparently this one bank was doing its budget check and had around $2000 left over from Junes and so that was not a good thing.  What had happened was someone had put in a number wrong in the computer that does all the math configuration for the business and a comp0uter is only as good as the data that you enter in to it. See the problem with not rechecking you work can have massive consequences. When we do calculation on the computer or in calculators you always have to recheck because you might have put a number in wrong or in the wrong place like this guy did which got him in big trouble when he notice that he 2000 dollars left in the bank. The plus side about making mistake is learning from them but the down side is that man was unfortunately,  because  they did not have that much money laying around to pay back   and they were overspending 400 dollars a month and that is a lot. So even though accountants seem good and they are but sometimes they might enter in numbers wrong so always make sure you check your work because accountants are human to so always make sure they check their work. That is why people should read this blog because it shows people the down side to accounting and what could happen if people mess up.
