Tax the Rich!!

Tasty segment on Morning Joe today.

Believe me, if you think that a highly progressive tax on individuals or businesses is soaking the rich, you are mistaken. It's only soaking the upper-middle class and small business owners. (You know, 3/4 of the job creation in this country.)

Sure it's looks real good to the unaware electorate when they're told that the rich are being taxed more, but the truth is, they are not. The more complicated and progressive the tax code, the more loopholes the really rich can slide through.

Meanwhile, small business, now "rich" by the current administration's definition, gets lit up, because they're too busy creating jobs, wealth, product, and services to devise creative ways to avoid taxation, yet aren't big enough to lobby for a loophole or an earmark.

    Nice post Eric. I know you are friends with a couple of small business owners that are probably affected by this. I think it would be a great read if you interviewed them and posted it on your blog. I am not one to trust much of anything I see on the TV or internet that is sponsored by big media. An interview like this, will probably have more impact on people who have the same qualms about the media as I do. It will be more believable.

You are going to get COVID-19. Now what?

In my best estimation, this is how we should address COVID-19 at this point:  1. You are going to get COVID-19. It's very likely endemic now. Breakthrough Delta infections carry the same viral load in the nasopharynx of the vaxxed and unvaxxed alike. Resign yourself to this fact. You are going to get COVID-19. If not Delta, then whatever variant comes next due to antigenic drift.  2. There is no herd immunity. There is no eradicating this virus. "Zero COVID" is a fantasy. It's too widespread, too mutable, and too contagious. Eventually, this will join the other common coronaviruses in circulation (229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1).  3. The vaccines shouldn't be considered vaccines. Consider them similar to seasonal flu shots. They are here to make sure that when you get COVID-19 (And let me reiterate: You are going to get COVID-19), you are far less likely to be hospitalized or die.  4. When enough people, vaxxed and unvaxxed, get COVID-19 (And let me reiterate: You are...

Crowdsourcing Curation: The Social Graph as Gatekeeper

I've written before about the compromise we tacitly agree to when amateurs take over the roles formerly held by professionsals . The Internet promotes this takeover by lowering the cost of production and transmission to near zero for nearly every user, for everything from words (blogs) to pictures (Flickr) to video (YouTube). As Clay Shirky put it so well : As freedom to produce increases, average quality necessarily goes down. For example: Thanks to Flickr, we now have access to a mind-boggling array of beautiful pictures, but that's partly because we simply have access to a mind boggling array of pictures, period . Some of these, of course, are beautiful; but there are a lot more of Aunt Bettie's 43rd picture of a bundt cake than of an Annie Leibovitz Rolling Stone cover. It is at this point that many people interject: "This is the problem with the internet! It's full of crap!" Many would argue that without professional producers, editors, publishers, an...

Intellectual Property and Deflation of the Knowledge Economy

[Update: This accidentally became a series of posts on a theme. Does Intellectual Property Law Foster Innovation? Where I question the efficacy of patent and copyright in a socially networked world. Intellectual Property and the Deflation of the Knowledge Economy - (this post) Where I toy with the idea that the Knowledge Economy may not turn out to be much of an economy, especially when it comes to Intellectual Property The Economic Reset Button - Where Jeff Jarvis asks Eric Schmidt whether or not this is a fundamental shift in the economic base Innovative Deflation - Where I ask, "Is the knowledge economy ripe for growth, or is it the means by which traditional economies are shrunk?" ] Friday night I was discussing the future of intellectual property law with some friends. My argument, in a nutshell: Every business model relying on intellectual property law (patent and copyright) is heading for massive deflation in our lifetimes. We've seen it with the m...
