The strong indication of his involvement as a developer generated waves of media attention and commanded premium prices. * * * But when three of the planned buildings encountered financial trouble, it became clear that Mr. Trump had essentiall...

Well, here’s another reason: he’s an aggressive, some might say abusive, user of lawsuits and threats of lawsuits against those who apply unwanted scrutiny to his business operations. Twenty years ago, analyst Marvin Roffman of the Philadelphia investment firm of Janney Montgomery Scott predicted that Trump’s then-new Taj Mahal casino would have difficulty recouping its huge investment, in part because of its troubled Atlantic City location. As financial predictions go, Roffman’s was a very shrewd one, borne out by the later restructuring of th...

Yet, the manufacturing share of GDP declined markedly over this period ...

We’re all for marketing stunts like this, especially if they promote health, nutrition, and well-being for everyone, and aim to lower skyrocketing obesity rates across the U.S. But we just want to make sure that after we viewers watch the hokey Healthy Week segments on The Today Show and NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, we actually get up off the couch, turn off the TV, and go move around or eat something that’s good for us. In the meantime, you can watch The Donald pretend to forgo his stretch limo for a nice, healthy, eco-friendly walk home. via NBC Post from: BlissTree You Know You're Unwell If...You Follow Fitness Advice While Seated...

It seems New York politicians are running into a similar problem. According to an AP report, the state’s 100 richest taxpayers have paid $1 billion less than expected following a big tax hike. The story notes that several rich people have left the state, and all three examples are about people who have redomiciled in Florida, which has no state income tax. For more background information on why higher taxes on the rich do not necessarily raise revenue, see this three-part Laffer Curve video series (here, here, and here): Early data from New York show the higher tax rates for the wealthy have yielded lower-than-expected state wealth. …[New York Govern...

This is the real Taj Mahal. This is Donald Trump’s take on autism and vaccines. This is the CDC stating that there is no valid scientific evidence to link vaccines or anything in vaccines to autism. It’s just me, but I’d rather be at the real Taj Mahal than the Atlantic City hotel/resort/casino complex that is part of Trump’s holdings (and that I can reach readily by car, bus, or boat from anywhere in New Jersey). (Yes, the same New Jersey that is said to have an “autism cluster,” is said to be trampling on the rights of the parents of preschoolers for requiring mandatory flu vaccines for young children in daycare, has the highest rate of incidence in autism (1 in 94)—-such is life in the Garden St...
