The TV shopping is a marketing dissemination pattern which requires the television station, the merchants and the consumer’s interactions. The direct broadcasting shopping pattern is now becoming the mainstream of Chinese TV shopping and demonstrating the conformity indication of media, retail trade and the circulation of materials, meanwhile, it has tremendous impulse to Chinese other retail trade patterns. In 1995, the TV shopping program was first broadcasted by Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen television stations. The new, wonderful, special commodities and the brand-new sales idea had won a lot of IN consumers overnight. After 2000, due to the traditional pattern gradually lost the charm towards clients, the TV direct selling had been experiencing its downhill path for a while. At the end of 2000, the number of TV shopping companies was sharply declined from over one thousand to only two or three hundred and the professional gross income also shrank from 20 billion RMB to 4 billion RMB.

Starting from 2003, some shopping channels geared up in local television stations to rally their forces after this defeat. New shopping channel is just a medium trader, and differing from previously commodity through TV direct selling. What’s more, owing to its bases upon broadcasting group, shopping channel enjoys the strong brand and customer’s prestige, therefore, its development potential is quite powerful. Shanghai OCJ, Hunan Happigo and Zhejiang Haoyigou are the top-notch who swim with the new TV shopping tide. All in all, the new direct broadcasting shopping has its own distinguished characteristics:

1. Shopping channelization. The former TV shopping occupied the TV station’s non-prime time, taking advantages of each channel’s edge spell to broadcast direct selling information; the new direct broadcasting shopping adopts the whole channel or hypothesized channel to run TV shopping business, concentrating in the professional channel, broadcasting at large-scale time, which forms a constant stimulation to the consumer’s senses of hearing and vision, hence has brought very high sales volume.

2. TV direct broadcasting liability. One’s consumption impulse plays an important role in his shopping behavior; the TV direct broadcasting would greatly stimulate the consumption impulse. Since the beginning of broadcasting, “Happigo” has been adopted the internationally popular sales way—TV direct broadcast, selling commodity with 8 hours’ direct broadcasting every day. TV shopping direct broadcasting displays audio-visual sales statistics, intense visual shock, appealing sound and the immediate interaction effects, in which the former TV shopping is deficient.

Online affiliate marketing began as a natural outgrowth of the popularity of “linking” to other sites. To put it simply, online affiliate marketing is a time tested strategy for making money online. It it is a network of online partners who refer business to your website.

It does not matter whether you have a website that sells a product or a website that has nothing to sell. But by adding online affiliate programs, you can not only add value to your website, but also maximize potential revenue.

Affiliate Programs, they say are the ideal way to make your website profitable.

Online affiliate programs began in the mid-1990,s and are currently a popular way to earn money online. In fact, research shows that affiliate marketing is the most cost-effective way to generate online sales. The concept of revenue sharing paying commission for referred business, predates affiliate marketing and the Internet. The translation of the revenue share principles to mainstream e-commerce happened almost four years after the origination of the World Wide Web in November 1994.

The simplest way is to just introduce your visitors to the business opportunities, products and services that they need, and, “make money online” based on commissions from these sales. In fact, online affiliate marketing is a great work from home business available to anyone with a computer and a desire to run their own affiliate business.

However, there is a catch to “affiliate-marketing”. That is to say over 80% of affiliates never get a check over $100, the 15% get the occasional check and it is the remaining 5% who really get monthly checks of any real size from affiliate programs.

To get started in affiliate marketing, you must know the fundamentals. For which you’re going to need an “affiliate marketing guide” to teach you the basics. Once you’ve studied the basics and grasped the “idea”, I don’t think there is any looking back.

Now, there are dozens of books advertised on various websites, making claims of massive earnings that can be achieved easily. Most of these guides are resell rights of other peoples’ ideas which are marketed under the marketers’ name. Now, there will be a time you may be doing the same thing what they are doing now. This is a natural phase most people go through and isn’t that what affiliate marketing is all about!

I am not saying those books are bad. But there are better ones out there. There is The Affiliate Marketers Handbook and the Super Affiliate Handbook. Recently, another book that is drawing much attention, purely because of the number of sales it has generated in such a short time is the Rich Jerk. The name justifies his character. But his ideas seem to work and the book seems to be on top of the charts. Now what more can you say, but to commend on his niche idea.

You can also look for more such good product(s) and which are in high demand from the ClickBank Mall. Just type “affiliate marketing” or affilate marketing guides and you would get instant access to loads to such products. Provide them your credit card details and voila! you can instantly download the book of your choice.

Although most aaffiliate marketing books are good in their own way, what boils down is to how you implement the knowhow you gained from it PRACTICALLY. Although this may take up some some time, it is to be noted that no books nor any marketing courses can come anywhere close to pure practical experience. Some good affiliate guides are given below in the resources section.

Learning to market on the internet as an affiliate is only step one. If you’re serious about online affiliate marketing, then you have to plan and set up a basic affiliate campaign. This is a start to finish campaign to getting started in affiliate marketing. It explains keyword research, finding profitable partners and markets, information on affiliate networks, guides and resources to making money online.

There is relatively an easy way to make a parallel income during the early stages of your online afiliate marketing home business. It can also help you avoid the common mistakes most of us make during that period. I am quoting this from personal experience.

Try and get hold of a FREE Web Page, containing a few successful affiliate programs. You can use it and learn how to run an affiliate campaign, at the same time learning the ropes of affiliate marketing. If you market this well, the chances are you will make money. Your main and only job would be to advertise your FREE website, by submitting it to search engines, e-mail it to friends, colleagues and others. Within a month or so, you shall see some income trickling in.

You also get familiar with search engine marketing, affiliate networks and affiliate directories, and other areas of online affiliate marketing.

As a marketing coach, I’ve probably heard every excuse in the book why people can’t market their businesses. You wouldn’t believe some of the whoppers people tell when they’re trying to justify their failure to attract clients.

Now don’t get me wrong; it’s not that failing to attract clients makes one a bad person. Not at all. It’s just that when I hear the following excuses I feel compelled to call ‘em as I see ‘em: Baloney!

If you have the mistaken notion that any of these lame excuses are the reason that your business isn’t successful, get a clue. These are just EXCUSES for people who fail, not reasons not to succeed (a subtle, yet important, difference).

1. “I’m too honest to market.” OK, this little gem is at the top of my list because it is both a lie AND an insult! I am a marketer by trade, and I am honest, so I know for a fact that marketing is not a dishonest process or practice, nor does it have to be dishonest to be effective. What’s dishonest is when you overstate your results, or if you truly don’t believe that your product or service is worth what you charge, or if you deliberately intend to defraud people. In that case, the problem is with you, not marketing, so stop insulting the rest of us.

2. “I’m too modest to market myself.” Listen up, princess, every word out of your mouth doesn’t have to be about YOU. Think about what your clients want, need and actually get, and that’ll keep the conversation going for as long as you need it to go. Hey, if you’re not comfortable saying great things about yourself, start saying great things about what your clients get out of working with you. Or better yet, let them say it for you in the form of testimonials. But don’t think that you have to be the subject of every fascinating conversation you have with prospects.

3. “I’m too shy to market myself.” As a highly sensitive person myself, you’d think I’d have more sympathy for this excuse, but I don’t. If you want to be successful, know right now that it may not always be comfortable, and you have to be willing to do what it takes to succeed, even if that means going outside your comfort zone. Shyness is a habit that can be overcome with practice, so join Toastmasters, or see a therapist if that’s what it is going to take, but get over yourself. I promise you will be glad you did.

4. “I’m too creative to market myself.” This excuse is really lame! Marketing is a very creative process, and since you have literally thousands of options when structuring your marketing plans, creativity is an asset, not a liability. Unless you’re one of those I-am-a-self-indulgent-whiner-who-refuses-to-accept-any-responsibility-for-my-actions-and-masks-that-character-flaw-with-claims-of-misunderstood-or-excessive-creativity kinds of people, in which case I say, grow up, and while you’re at it, think up a more creative excuse.

5. “I don’t have enough time to market my business.” OK, this excuse sounds good at first, but in reality it doesn’t wash. Either you are already marketing but not acknowledging your marketing activities as such, or your business is so busy that you don’t need to market at all, which makes this excuse unnecessary. So if you haven’t got all the business you want but you don’t have time to market, you need to reevaluate how you’re spending your time, and make some tough decisions about when you are going to do what you need to do to get those clients.

6. “I don’t have enough money to market my business.” Again, you get points for trying, but this is still just an excuse, because good marketing isn’t about money, it’s about relationships. You can start very modestly with your marketing plans, and spend nothing but your time. And let me tell you, if you can’t get some traction spending 40 hours a week trying to build your business relationships, maybe you should rethink your decision to be an entrepreneur.

7. “I have no personal network to market to.” Oh please, you’ve got to have a better excuse than this! If you truly have no family, no friends, no colleagues, no acquaintances or no former co-workers, then start meeting some. I don’t care if you’ve been on a desert island for the past 20 years, you can always meet people through networking meetings, trade associations, classes, social clubs, or at the gym! Just pick up the phone and call the people you want to know, get out there and mingle, and your personal network will grow quickly.

8. “My product or service is too hard to explain to people.” Fine. Quit explaining what you do, and start talking about what your customers GET from working with you. Do you help your customers get thinner, smarter, married, fitter, their first home, or what? Seriously, nobody cares about what you do, really; people care about what they get. Get it?

9. “My product or service is so good that it should sell itself.” Sure, that’s probably true if your product is a talking monkey, or your clients are all telepaths, but other than that, it’s going to take a little effort on your part, bucko, so start creating some momentum in the marketplace and you’ll find that your product needs less and less of your efforts to sell, until one day it almost seems like it DOES sell itself!

10. “My niche is too narrow and I can’t find my customers.” Hogwash. What this usually means is that you haven’t yet defined your customer, because you can’t find what you haven’t identified (and don’t give me that you’ll-know-them-when-you-see-them line). Start with a matrix of situation and need to identify that client. For example, let’s say you’re a financial planner, and you think your clients are “people who want to get their financial affairs in order.” Think instead about who needs to get their financial affairs in order, and you’ll probably come up with something like “married couples with children who have $X in assets and need to protect those assets with planning.” And you can certainly find those people, can’t you?

So we’ve blasted all these lousy excuses, but we haven’t yet addressed the biggest excuse of all: fear. Most of the time I’ve found that the more excuses my clients offer for not moving forward with their businesses, the more fearful they are.

Hey, I understand, and I’ve been there myself. But what it comes down to is this: Are you more afraid of succeeding (or failing) than you are of going back to work for that idiot boss you always end up working for? If the answer is that you’re more afraid of facing the personal responsibility of entrepreneurship than of any garbage your boss could throw at you, then good-bye entrepreneur, and hello wage-slave.

But if you think that the worst possible scenario is working for some moron again, and that you’ll happily work like a dog if that’s what it takes just so you don’t have to slink back into that stinking office with your tail between your legs, good for you. It’s time to forget about excuses, and start figuring out how to make this whole self-employed thing work for you.

The first thing to understand is that fear is OK. Yes, we’ve all been fearful (and yes, I include myself in that “we” statement). It can be scary picking up the phone. It can be scary going to a sales meeting.

But at the end of the day, isn’t your product or service of value to someone? Aren’t people glad (or going to be glad) that you’ve solved a problem for them? So stop worrying and fearing the marketing process, and remember this: Marketing is really nothing more than the process of developing relationships, and you, my friend, can do that in your sleep.

Once my clients truly understand that marketing is about relationships, we start talking about how those relationships are created and maintained to determine appropriate marketing tactics for their businesses and personal styles.  But no matter what kind of business my clients are in, they all have the same excellent relationship marketing tool at their fingertips: Their e-mail messages.

E-mail messages are the most frequently overlooked (and virtually free) marketing tools available to entrepreneurs.  No, I’m not talking about electronic mail campaigns, or spamming, but using the messages you send out every day to your clients and colleagues as a subtle marketing tool.  You can do this by adding more information to your signature line in all your e-mail.

How many times have you received a message from people who aren’t using a company domain name in their e-mail address, so you’re not sure who Bill or Sally @Hotmail.com is?  Or what if you’re in that position yourself? Many low cost Web hosts will forward e-mail received to you@yourdomain.com, but don’t provide an e-mail address from your domain name.  So how do you look professional when you’re dealing with a $35 a month Web site and free Internet e-mail?  You use an annotated signature line.

Most e-mail programs allow users to create an individual signature line that is appended to all outgoing messages.  If you’re not using one, you are missing an effective and virtually free way to market your business.  And as an added bonus, your marketing message can be seen where paid advertising is forbidden such as on electronic bulletin boards, giving you a competitive edge is such circumstances.

So why bother to annotate your signature line?  Here are some good reasons:

1. Annotating your signature line makes it easy for your clients to find your contact information when they want t o buy again.  Sure you may have given them a business card, but what if business cards are lost or misfiled?  Creating a situation in which your client has to look in the Yellow Pages for your phone number may be risky, especially if a competitor has a more compelling marketing message.

2. Annotating your signature line reminds and makes it easy for your clients to visit your web site.  Of course that’s assuming you want your customers to visit your Web site.  And why wouldn’t you?  Your Web site is a great visibility tool that builds your relationship with your customers.

3. Annotating your signature line identifies the origin of your messages so that if they get forwarded, people who are interested in what you have to say or offer can find you easily.  Evan if you know for sure that your customers have your address, your fax number or understand the full range of your products or services, that information does not forward with your e-mail unless you put it there.  So if one of your loyal customers forwards an e-mail from you to a colleague and your contact information is not included, you’ve just closed the door to a new business opportunity that your customer opened for you by forwarding your message.

4. Annotating your signature line can be a gentle way to remind customers of upcoming events (”Sale end Friday, Dec 27th” or “Don’t miss our open house on Jan 17″) to buy again (”Call today for a free quote”), to promote a new product or service (”Ask me how our new widget will save you money”), to encourage forwarding and referrals (”Forward this newsletter to anyone you thing will find it valuable”) or to call for feedback (”If you like working with us, tell your friends.  If you don’t, tell us and we’ll make it right”).

So what should you include in an annotated signature line?  At the very least, your e-mail signature should include you full name, title, company name, web site link, plus you phone and fax numbers.  Also consider a direct access phone line (if different than the company phone number), cell phone number, company tag line or motto, an offer, a reminder to buy, last call for a special deal, teaser for the future products or services, or even an inspirational quote, if it reinforces your marketing message.

It doesn’t have to be fancy to get read.  You can make simple borders around your key messages or information by using your title key (~), a dash (-), and underline (_) or even a series of asterisks (*).  Bottom line: Every professional needs a standard signature line in all business correspondence.  Because that is exactly what e-mail is professional correspondence.  Of course, we use it so casually and so frequently that it hardly seems like something professional at all.  But bear in mind that all correspondence between you and your customers is an opportunity to enhance you business relationship, even if that communication happens only in cyberspace.

Imagine you are listening to the radio around the year 1900 and there is news that the economy is going to enter into a recession. Chances are that sooner or later you will not have a job, and there isn’t going to be nearly as many goods available because of lack of production.  The only thing of any value will end up being the money in your checking and savings accounts, so the only choice you have it to run to the bank and get hold of that money.  The problem: every other person who just heard that announcement is thinking the same thing, and now there’s going to be a run on the bank, or even worse, a bank panic.  This was a serious dilemma prior to the year of 1913 – the year the Federal Reserve Bank was established – because there was no way to ensure the economy would remain stable.  Although bank panics were not an everyday thing, it was something that citizens had to worry about more than they do today.  When the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was set in place, however, two policies were enabled to monitor and help control the stability of the economy: to this day they remain a very important part of our government and these courses of action are known as monetary policy and fiscal policy.

To fully understand the purpose of monetary and fiscal policy, it is important to look at the structure behind them.  The basis of these policies comes from the Federal Reserve, more commonly known as the “Fed.”  The “Fed” is a fairly simple system to understand: it is the central bank of the United States.  This central bank is broken down into districts; the Board of Governors being the most recognized, but also included is the Federal Open Market Committee.  Today the head chairman of the Board of Governors is Benjamin Bernanke, and he oversees all the actions that are taken.

The Federal Reserve is the only bank with the power to control a run on the banks or a bank panic.  It holds the money available to lend to smaller banks as a last resort in bad economic times.  Therefore, the Federal Reserve plays a huge part in controlling the money supply of the US.  When the “Fed” was established, so was monetary policy. In the book Macroeconomics by R. Glenn Hubbard and Anthony Patrick O’Brien, monetary policy is defined as “the actions the Federal Reserve takes to manage the money supply and interest rates to pursue economic objectives.”  These certain objectives include maintaining a stable economy, increasing economic growth, keeping unemployment at a satisfactory low, and keeping prices of goods and services stable in order to minimize the chances of inflation.

The Federal Reserve uses three separate tools of monetary policy to maintain the money supply.  These tools include open market operations – controlled by the Federal Open Market Committee – and the discount rate and reserve requirements, which are controlled by the Board of Governors.  Open market operations are a tool used by the FOMC to increase the money supply through the buying and selling of Treasury securities.  The trading desk at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York is designated to buy these securities and the sellers deposit them into banks.  These deposits increase the reserve of the bank which in turn increases the total money supply because there will also be an increase in loans and checking account deposits (Hubbard/O’Brien).  The FOMC also has the power to decrease the money supply by reversing the operations of that same process.

The branch of the “Fed” which controls the other two tools of monetary policy is the Board of Governors.  One tool, the discount rate, is defined as “the interest rate the Federal Reserve charges on discount loans (Hubbard/O’Brien).  If a bank needs to increase the money available in their vault, otherwise known as their reserve, they turn to the “Fed” for the money and this loan is known as a discount loan.  However, unless the Federal Reserve has become the last resort in the case of a recession, discount loans are not typically taken out by banks.

In certain instances, such as the case of Black Tuesday when the worst stock market crash hit the United States, discount loans did not save the economy. It was not until after the Great Depression when the run on the banks caused a severe bank panic that Congress established deposit insurance. In other words, prior to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, a person was neither assured that the money they held in the bank was safe nor that they would be able to retrieve it if the economy were to fall into a recession.

The third tool of monetary policy which is also controlled by the Board of Governors to help manage the money supply is reserve requirements. It is a rare occasion for the Fed to change the reserve requirements though. In essence, changing the reserve requirements entails the banks to make “significant alterations in holdings of loans and securities” (Hubbard/O’Brien). Although it is not a common course of action, it is still purposeful. When the Fed decreases the reserve requirements, it allows the banks to use the excess money to loan out as opposed to holding in the vault. Conversely, if the Fed chooses to increase the reserve requirement, the banks will have less money to lend out. Either way, though, the Fed is makes the change based on the assumption that it will help the economy. All of these tools of monetary policy are followed through with the intention of meeting the objectives stated previously. On the other hand, fiscal policy also plays and important role in helping to maintain a stable economy.

Fiscal policy is defined as “the changes in federal taxes and purchases that are intended to achieve macroeconomic policy objectives” (Hubbard/O’Brien). Fiscal policy is similar to monetary policy in terms of what it attempts to achieve, but varies because of the way it tries to do so. Changes in taxes and spending are controlled solely through the federal government.

A better understanding of fiscal policy can be explained through the ideas of John Maynard Keynes. His theory came about after the Great Depression and said if the governments were to spend more money in times of economic decline, then it would soon stimulate the economy. He argued that through the excessive government spending, incomes would rise and so would purchases of goods and services. Eventually, this would stabilize the economy and take the country out of decline and into a state of economic growth. His theory was proved when President Franklin D. Roosevelt took action during World War II and spent an excessive amount of money which ending up in economic growth, as Keynes had said it would (What is Fiscal Policy?).

More recently, as of the 1980s, the main goal of fiscal policy has focused on reducing the budget deficit that has skyrocketed since World War II. Because of such things as new technology and foreign trade opportunities economic growth has been happening automatically, and the deficit only continues to rise (What is Fiscal Policy?). The War in Iraq has also caused the deficit to steadily increase, and George W. Bush is currently under pressure to find a way to decrease it. Although the overall goal of fiscal policy is to achieve broad goals of the economy, it now focuses on smaller goals as well.

In conclusion, monetary and fiscal policies are extremely crucial in keeping the economy secure. Since the early nineteen hundreds the overall time period of economic growth has steadily exceeded the time of economic recession. The Great Depression was an occurrence that will hopefully not occur again, or at least not any time in the near future. With the knowledge the government now has, the economy will most likely get better, or at least keep a level of stability that is satisfactory.

Whether or not it comes before or after the papers are signed, financial hardship is all too acquainted to many couples who divorce. Following some monetary tips will ease the burden during this troublesome time.

Every year, one million Americans divorce. More than 80% of divorcing partners cite “debt and monetary distress” as the primary factor within the dissolution of their marriages, according to an Yank Bar Association survey, and research notice that virtually all families suffer a monetary decline following a divorce. By taking steps to safeguard credit, families can come back through in a lot of better shape. Bills.com, a national consumer finance portal, encourages divorcing couples to require the subsequent steps:

1. Accurately assess debts and liabilities. 1st, see yourself as your creditors do. On-line or by phone, you’ll request a “tri-merge” credit report (a summary from all three major credit reporting bureaus). Note all your existing shared and individual liabilities. Resolve (or get a judgment) on how you’ll allocate these responsibilities.

2. Plan on the method to handle your home. If you own a home, the mortgage is probably your most significant monthly payment. Be bound you perceive how you’ll resolve monthly mortgage payments, and how you will divide the house’s price – whether or not one partner buys out the other currently, or the home is to be sold after children are grown.

3. Financial plan for payments. Produce a detailed budget, based on your new income level, and use free money flow to pay off debts. Most people realize the foremost economical method to pay off debts is to initial pay off smaller bills – starting with beneath a hundred dollars – then pay off loans and unsecured debt, such as credit cards, beginning with the account with the very best interest rate.

4. Build certain your ex-spouse is making his or her payments. If attainable, create provisions within the divorce agreement for reporting on resolution of vital debt. There are necessary implications for you personally if your spouse will not meet his/her end of the cut price on liabilities allotted through the divorce proceedings.

Decision all creditors for shared accounts (credit cards, gas cards, department store cards, phone cards, etc.). Shut the accounts if you’re not carrying balances, or take away your name from jointly held accounts. Remember that for jointly held credit cards, and for any other debts incurred throughout the wedding in community property states, you have got shared liability – and thereby share any potential negative credit rating impact. This suggests that if your spouse does not make payments after the divorce, it may come back to haunt you – and your credit rating.

If you owe back taxes, be aware that the IRS does not have to honor a call from a divorce judgment. Check with a tax professional to help together with your divorce tax planning.

5. Focus on rehabilitating your credit and monetary health. Begin an investment plan. Reinvest any proceeds or equity that come back out of the divorce proceeding, and be especially cognizant of building yourself a retirement fund for the future.

If you discover yourself in hassle during this stressful time — in which you want to create many money choices — obtain help immediately from a reliable, skilled debt resolution firm. Be sure to research the corporate you decide on to assist you, and request out an organization that operates for the patron, that is markedly completely different from credit counseling, debt consolidation, and debt management firms.

Can Tax Cuts Help Improve the American Economy?

In this paper, I intend to pursue a discussion which fundamentally affirms the relative benefits of Senator Barack Obama’s plan to increase taxes, in view of the telling need to rescue the American economy, against the disadvantages of Senator John McCain’s proposal to push for tax reductions. I intend to take cue from the manner by which these two senators have capitalized on the current state of the American economy to proffer their respective views on the economy. Surely, the American people are a witness to the epic battle between Senators Barack Obama and John McCain, especially in respect to the contrasting stance they took on thorny issue of tax levies; i.e., while Senator Obama has staunchly supported the concept of keeping the American economy afloat through a tax increase scheme, McCain has, on the other hand, espoused the more populist tax-reduction approach. Through this brief paper, I intend to prove that Senator Obama’s proposal to relatively increase taxes is what the American society needs right now, so as to restore the people’s confidence in the state of the economy.

I must admit that I am hardly surprised at all to see that Senator McCain’s proposal for tax cuts has been gleefully welcomed by a majority of the Americans, who feel that they are to become the direct beneficiaries of such a program. As far as McCain himself is concerned, he believes that by lowering taxes, he would be able to stimulate the economic trends of the country. In an article by a political reporter named Abdon Pallasch, she reports that according to Douglas Holz-Eakin, adviser to the McCain camp, the latter’s proposed tax policy is essentially a “job-first plan that keeps small businesses in the game” (SunTimes). But what McCain’s tax reduction scheme unfortunately undermines is no less than the wellbeing of the already battered American economy. I have reasons to believe McCain’s tax-cut scheme would end up benefiting the rich enterprises with large sum of money inasmuch as tax cuts would give them more money to invest more on than place their assets on commodity consumption and/or providing services. There is only a need to show why and how.

In order to explain why tax cuts would most probably not yield considerable benefits for the American economy, I find it appropriate to cite the principles which enable economist to measure the economic growth of a given country. Under normal circumstances, a country’s economy is measured by rate of its Gross Domestic Product – “the goods and services produced and consumed in the private, public, domestic and international sectors of the economy” (Frumkin 114).  And what determines the real expansion of GDP, according to The World Book Encyclopedia, can be summed in the following: private consumption, investment expenditures, government purchases and total value of exports. Put in other words, personal consumption and expenditures – i.e., for food, clothing, cars and household appliances – contribute directly to a given economy. Second, the expenditures of business enterprises, specifically when they spend for buildings, machineries and tools, also keep the economy robust. Third, the government’s public spending relative to education, healthcare or social services is also crucial. And last, the summary cost of a country’s export is likewise constitutive of real GDP growth and value (WBE 382).

I feel the need to further underscore the fact that financial investments – i.e., those investments placed in bonds, stocks or trust funds – by big businesses do not translate to real GDP growth rate and value. This is because they do not actually fall into the category of goods or services produced by a country. This is where I believe tax cut proposals fall short of stimulating a given economy. Since tax cuts proposals yield greater returns for big business than they do for average American families, then it is highly likely that these tax benefits shall be translated to financial investments, which in turn would leave the GDP growth as is. The academic entry from The World Book Encyclopedia is very crystal about the fact that “consumption” is a direct determinant of GDP growth. Without it, there can be no driving force to get the economy back in shape from a serious slump.  In fact, according to Kogan Richard – a critic of tax-reduction schemes – since “the economy expands so much as a result of tax cuts that it produces the same level of revenue as it would have without the tax cuts” (Kogan), then there is no point at going through the risky business of tax cuts that can leave the economy scathed from yet another crisis. And if tax cuts would not translate to real GDP growth, then we have all the more reasons to believe that the converse holds true – i.e., that increasing taxes can in fact stimulate the American economy; specifically, a relative increase in tax cuts can provide greater stimulus not only for private consumption, but even more so for public spending.

To this end, it would be insightful to look at the wisdom of Senator Obama’s economic roadmap. On the one hand, raising taxes may not look rosy for average Americans; but it certainly would give big corporations more reasons to spend for projects that may qualify them for tax incentives. This usually happens when they contribute a part of their revenues to funding certain projects, say construction of roads and schools, which would benefit the people in the long run. In the process, they could have these expenses lined up for tax exemptions. The point here is that increasing taxes would encourage, if not force big businesses to spend for goods and services. When they are spared from taxes, they would tend to keep their resources, and have them re-diverted to non-measurable financial investments. On the other hand, increasing taxes would also stimulate public spending – i.e., those types of spending entered into by the government on behalf of the people. This is because the continued inflow of tax levies would ensure that the greater American public would benefit from the government’s provision of basic services such as education, healthcare, and social services, among many notable others.

Now, since it would appear that Obama’s tax increase would benefit the American economy by way of stimulating large-scale private and public spending, I wish to therefore propose that, in order that the plan may not hurt average Americans, the government under the leadership of Barack Obama must implement a discriminate tax increase scheme. This means those big enterprises, as well as those who belong to the upper classes of the American society, are the ones to be levied with more taxes in the next few years. This is certainly far from being unfair. Instead, it would ensure that those who are capable of spending for goods and services are given welcome avenues to jumpstart the growth of the GDP.

For such reasons, I wish to briefly conclude that Obama’s tax plan – which is to increase taxes for the rich, and keep them the same for the rest – is the most viable solution for our battered economy right now. With a significant increase in taxation, the government can inspire large-scale spending so as to keep the economy afloat. Conversely, I strongly disagree in McCain’s tax cuts, as his proposal cannot promise to stimulate private or public spending on goods and services. In the final analysis, I find it imperative to remind the ever passionate Senator McCain of the fact that taxes constitute the backbone of the great American economy.
