Corporate Tax Case Study

This is a very feasible proposal. Many states like Texas and Florida have no income tax and lower sales tax, but higher property taxes at 2% to 3%, compared to California's property tax of 1%. California's state tax revenue is comprised of 31.2% property taxes, 30.1% sales taxes, and 31.7% individual and corporate income taxes. If the property taxes were raised to 3% or 4% for all property, including houses and commercial and investment real estate, sales and income taxes will no longer be necessary.

Minimum wage can become a big change to California. Minimum wage is a big impact for example in California more money is given to us and so to the government once they see that the balance in the checks are going up and the when they see the profit of the markets are in a good place. Minimum wage should go up because it not only benefits everyone but also my family. Once minimum wage if it goes up more money is going to be shown. More luxury is going to be seen in our family. For example the past years once the minimum wage when up more thing were easy to get and buy with the minimum wage going up in California you can also see how people nowadays have from one to two cars

The people have to take moment and figure out how we are going change the problem to pollution to help better their community. Well the people of Detroit is not on their own its companies that want to help the city. JP Morgan Chase a major bank company around the country will donate 100 million dollars to help the economic recovery and strengthen the communities with a 5 year commitment (Hower, n.d.para.1). Chase have steps and certain projects they will do to start helping the city get back on their feet after filing for bankruptcy not too long

Detroit, Michigan grew up around the automobile industry. At its peak, Detroit was the fifth-largest city in the United States, becoming the home to over 1.8 million people by 1950 (Davey, Monica 2013). The prolific population was due greatly to the success of the auto industry in the city. At that time, Detroit was flying high, its name coined “The Motor City” (americaslibrary.gov), and automobiles greatly impacted commercialization. From transporting goods to hastening production, to selling parts, to manufacturing and selling new automobiles, the auto industry completely transformed Detroit. Things seemed

Ann paid $500 for her books and supplies and she incurred living expenses of $7,400.

Most employers in California are subject to both the federal and state minimum wage laws. Also, local entities (cities and counties) are allowed to enact minimum wage rates and several cities have recently adopted ordinances which establish a higher minimum wage rates for employees working within their local jurisdiction. The effect of this multiple coverage by different government sources is that when there are conflicting requirements in the laws, the employer must follow the stricter standard; that is, the one that is the most beneficial to the employee. Thus, since California's current law requires a higher minimum wage rate than does the federal law, all employers in California who are subject to both laws must pay the state minimum wage

While compared to the state is $524,000. Not only that our average salary in California is about $51,000 or an hourly pay of $25. Another issue is trying to make voting easier and more

For 2013, the FUTA tax is based on 6.0 percent (less a 5.4 percent credit if the state also assesses an unemployment tax) of employees' wages up to $7,000.

The author of this article wrote that it is important for the citizens of Detroit to vote for a public rail and bus transit system. Puentes states that there are a myriad amount of jobs but there is also no way to get to them. Although there are many buses, trains and routes in Detroit, there are no connecting routes from one region to another or to the city itself. This makes it harder for people to get to their jobs in less than an hour. Something else the author mentions is that most of the families in Detroit receive low income, so they cannot pay for all the buses needed in order to go to work.

Whether your arguments are for or against the rise in minimum wage there’s no way to perfect one rate that suits well with all of California. Example, the wage needed for a high cost area like San Francisco is going to be rather different than the wage a person would need in El Centro, which is highest in the state for unemployment (Perry 2). Say one uses a slightly different approach, that $15 an hour is good for a place like San Francisco because local wages can support itself if the economy were to go bad. That will not go off well if the same wage rate is in poverty stricken El Centro because of the lack of financial support. The rise in wage will negatively affect those in less fortunate communities.

While all of California will have the same increase in prices besides small businesses makes sense because there will be economic crisis if the small businesses have to comply with high wages. Similarly, if New York state allows on New York City to first go through the higher wages before the whole state is put under the effect, there will be less chances of economical crisis as it allows for the state to flourish gradually for the better instead of jeopardizing the whole state if it was put into effect all at once. In fact, in the article, “California, New York Governors Sign Minimum Wage Increase Into Law” by Alejandro Lazo and Erica Orden, it states how the governor of California, Jerry Brown, will pass a bill in which he is allowed to give “businesses more time to adjust to increases, and gives a governor the ability to postpone increases in case of a recession or budgetary downfall”. This will help stabilize the increasing wages and the economy of the state. Also, the family plan that New York is willing to implement is also a great strategy of helping out the state not only economically but socially where society will be affected for the better as parents will have more money to take care of their children and be able to support

Detroit was first founded in the year of 1701 by a man named Anoine de la Mothe Cadillac when he established a fort and settlement. Detroit means “strait” in the French language, and is derived from the narrow river connecting lake Saint Claire with lake Erie in which is in Michigan. The control of Detroit switched hands multiple times during the eighteenth century. At the end of the French and Indian War, the resulting treaty led to Detroit’s surrendering to Great Britain. The industry of automotives brought thousands of immigrants into Detroit in the Roaring Twenties. Then during the Great Depression that industry weas extremely desperate, leaving a third of the working force out of commission during 1933. The union movement , led by Walter Reuther led to sit-down strikes in Detroit and in Flint which resulted in ant-union violence.

Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Chrysler Corporation, Dodge Brothers and Packard Motor Car Company all had automobile manufacturing and assembly processes in the city. Detroit provided many manufacturing jobs, shopping, entertainment, transportation, and housing. The 143 square miles of Detroit wasn’t quite enough room so the suburbs also began to develop. (The rise and fall of Detroit: A timeline. (2013, July 19). Retrieved December 05, 2017, from http://theweek.com/articles/461968/rise-fall-detroit-timeline) Detroit would be defined as urban because it had a build-up of the central city and spread into the suburbs. The population wasn’t high enough for it to be a megacity and with the globalization of auto production, Detroit never really reached the world city

The idea that morally dubious goals may be legitimate inside capitalism will be discussed in light of a tax avoidance case study. Apple, a multinational technology company, has avoided paying its fair amount of income tax for years. This paper will consider the structural embeddedness of Apple’s legitimised goal—the maximisation of profit—through the ‘Double Irish Dutch sandwich’ tax haven model. Durkheim’s theory of collective conscience was used in explaining the legitimisation of the company’s profits-driven goal, and how its amorality becomes apparent outside the economical sphere. This paper will also discuss the interconnected nature of the harm and benefits in the deal made between Ireland and Apple. The association between legitimations of Apple’s conduct and its socially challenging behaviour has been analysed to be ambiguous in the letter of the law. The conclusion will shed light on the morally grey area of a company’s responsibility to its shareholders versus the needs of the community.
