"Economic freedom cannot be sacrificed if political freedom is to be preserved." — Herbert Clark Hoover

Menu of Business Issues

 

Here's what's hot on the Business front:

 
S 2056 / HR 3717
Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act
Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) &
Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI)

In light of Superbowl malfunctions and an alarming increase in consumer complaints, this law increases penalties for the transmission of obscene, indecent or profane material on radio and TV.   Have we crossed the line?   Or are some people just too prudish? You tell us and we'll tell Congress!

    S 2370 / HR 4256 - Fair Minimum Wage Act
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) &
Rep. George Miller (D-CA)

We're talking about a jump of nearly $2 an hour over the next two years.   Is this an idea that's way overdue ... or a way to undue our economic progress?   You decide.

 
 

 

Here are other Business issues we're considering.
Which would you like to see featured next?

 

  • S 150 - Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act Sen. George Allen (R-VA)
    This bill, which has passed the Senate and is being held at the desk in the House, extends the ban on taxes for Internet access until 2007.   It also prohibits multiple taxes on e-commerce.

  • S 1765 / HR 391 - National Right to Work Act
    Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) & Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC)

    This preserves and protects the free choice of individual employees to form, join or assist a labor union.

  • S 1125 - Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution Act
    Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT)

    This settlement compensates victims of Asbestos exposure, paying as much as $1 million for the worst cases.   Claims would be paid from a fund of $114 billion collected from the manufacturers and insurers who would then be released from any further liability.
    The next Business issue on Voter Votes should be:
1.   Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act

2.   National Right to Work Act

3.   Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution Act
