Economic growth is the focus of every city. Through economies of scale cities such as Chicago and New York continue to experience great economic expansion. Continued growth, however, opens up the gateway for urban sprawl and the lack of a centralized economy. As cities expand their land use people disregard once thriving centers of industry and business and locate next to newly developed "Greenfield" type businesses. Often times the only thing left in the wake are rundown, abandoned business districts. In an effort to revitalize these deserted areas, councils in charge of economic development will use many different policies. An occasionally controversial policy is called a TIF or Tax Increment

As the city manager of Yorkville city I have been presented with a 1% tax income proposal on behalf of the members of the city council in order to accumulate around 1 million dollars yearly to decrease the current deficit that the city has of $650,000.The city council is asking me to hand out flyers to promote this tax to the voters in order to pass the proposal with the city residents’ support in the next coming elections. I would personally analyze the proposal and the reasons why there is such a bad deficit of $650,000 and I would also find the specific measures taken by the city council or previous city officials to work on the issue. The information should be gathered in different areas such as accountability, new city programs and expenses

The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative is a perfect example of such efforts in Boston, Massachusetts. The neighborhood was plighted with all the aforementioned disadvantages, such as red lining, burnt down houses, and then the empty lots became a dumping grounds. Through the neighborhoods efforts, they raised awareness of their issue and got changes in policy to prevent dumping. They also utilized imminent domain to reclaim the abandoned lots in their neighborhood and then through the creation of their own Community Development Corporation were able to build new affordable housing in its place. Though all this, they were also able to get banks to reinvest in the area so they can continue to develop. Other cities can and have utilized similar methods and practices but the results are deeply dependent on the participation of community members and the willingness of the city to assist. DSNI was able to circumnavigate the city’s lack of cooperation in investing through the creation of their

1. All distributions (excluding reasonable salary) to Paula and Mary will be taxed as dividends to them. And the corporation could not deduct this part of distribution.

I believe most importantly the city tries to save money and so a lot of things have to be cut and sacrificed. The majority of individuals that I questioned about residing here in East Cleveland where only satisfied with living here because this is where they have been living for many years. But if given the chance to move into a zip code that had more resources, then they would. My outlook on the city before and after this project honestly did not change. This city is in need of a lot of resources and community action. I believe if they would join The City of Cleveland, then they would have more resources to

Would it be possible to consider placing a flat $.10 FEDERAL TAX on ALL online sales no matter what the cost of the product or service purchased? This is not a percentage of the sale, but a flat tax that would never increase. Most add sales tax to online purchases based on the total sale, but I think there could be significant revenue gained if a SMALL flat Federal Tax was added. If there are approximately 4,000,000,000 online purchases a day, seven days a week, a $.10 (10-cent) Federal Tax added to each transaction could help reduce the deficit without causing a hardship on anyone. The retailer would collect and forwards the Federal Tax to the government at the end of every month, just

Sports subsidies have become the main way to finance a lot of the stadiums being built all around the United States. A stadium subsidy is a sort of government subsidy provided for a professional sports team to help invest in the building or improvement of sports stadiums. Even though these subsidies are occurring that does not mean that they are good. As a matter of fact they do more harm than good to the economy of the area the stadium is built in. This situation brings in taxes, business collapse, and really no solid evidence after research has been done on the economic boost of these stadium subsides.

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.
