By choosing Miami Heat, LeBron James saves millions in state income taxes
When he announced his intent to sign a contract with the Miami Heat, LeBron James stressed winning championships, not cutting his taxes.
Even so, Florida economic boosters pounced on James’ decision as an opportunity to tout the state’s lack of an income tax.
"Make no mistake, LeBron James is as large as any corporation moving to our area," said Kelly Smallridge, president of the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County.
Smallridge noted that James will save millions over the life of the five-year contract he’s expected to sign.
James entertained pitches from teams in six states. Five of those states – Illinois, Ohio, New York, New Jersey and California – impose income taxes. The highest rates on individuals in 2010 range from 3 percent in Illinois to 10.55 percent in California, according to the Tax Foundation.
If James signs a deal totaling $96 million over five years, his state income taxes would range from nothing with the Heat to nearly $2.9 million with the Chicago Bulls, roughly $8.6 million with the New York Knicks or New Jersey Nets and $10 million with the Los Angeles Clippers.
And those bills could increase if tax-strapped states raise their income tax rates. But an income tax in Florida is a near impossibility in the next five years.
Don’t forget city income taxes. Cleveland has a 2 percent income tax on top of Ohio’s income tax, while New York City’s income tax tops out at 3.65 percent.
"We think that’s why so many millionaires move to Florida," said Edie Ousley, spokeswoman for the Florida Chamber of Commerce.

GOD I LOVE FLORIDA!
Actually, this "hate the rich’ attitude is just too frequent. If someone finds a way to make money, what right have you to rob them ? Just because they have more than you ? That’s UnAmerican.
The real issue is that those that move to lower income tax states are doing so mainly obviously to avoid paying more of thier money out. But only those still making money do it. If your going to ‘hate the rich’ effectively, or get people to supposedly ‘pay thier fair share’, there are many of the rich whom don’t make all that much money through conventional means.
Take a look at the Aspen institute and the mean spirit toward Obama and the idea of taxing those with money but not making money and are rich.
Obama’s time is coming, choose which side of the fence you are on wisely.
Old people will have to pay more of thier dividends to the government as taxes increase form 15% to 40%
The responsible people earning a living will have to spend more on Obama care even though we were promised it wouldn’t increase our premiums. Not to mention this whole move the government has been making to eventually make insurance agencies insolvent and force them out of business.

This is long, but worth the read; Pass these odds on to others, too!
I know some people who have left already while others are waiting until they can smell oil, or no smell(methane gas) before deciding. To my way of thinking, it’s not too early to be looking for bug-out land up north – just in case. If the well continues spewing into winter, the odds of mandatory movement go up – and better me thinks to go on your own accord and by your own plans than a mass-packaged solution.
As long as we’re on it, a fair number of people have written in, in hushed conspiratorial tones – wondering whether the "George, does this Gulf spill lead to the government setting up REX-84 FEMA camps?"
Maybe. In the event of a higher level of global conflict, it’s possible. More likely, though, seems to me is that there’s a legitimate role for government to try and provide some level of housing, etc for disaster victims after events like the developing Gulf disaster.
Let’s do a mental exercise here: Say you have a family of four and no prospects, no income, and so on, and the smell of oil shows up.
Questions is: Is the federal government expected to provide some basic level of food & housing for disaster victims? I think so…unless I’ve got political winds judged all wrong.
Follow-up question: Based on what we saw in KatRita, would you trust your family’s fate to just a Wild West kind of tent/camper enclosed encampment, (I’ve seen that future of crowded families, don’t know which way is up or out, their lost in their own senses.) Or, would you rather
duke it out on the streets of a strange northern city in the middle of winter? Gangs, druggies, zombies, and maybe even local police who missed the Chamber of Commerce welcome training?
You see where this goes? On the one hand, government could actually have plans in its back pocket for resettlement centers and such, but whether they’d be prison camps — or simply be best efforts to help people — may depend on how your meds are holding out and if you listen to fear mongering.
Whether people will ever arrive at such possible future government ‘assistance centers’ from the Gulf Oil disaster, WW III, or terrorist attacks can be debated all day long. The further question is "Would such facilities be properly classed "prison camps" or would they be more along the lines of the CCC Camps of the last Depression?"
Then let’s ask if there aren’t political interests who raise money for opposition republicorp candidates (then then go promptly to the same corporate trough) by trying to whip up all kinds of fears about political enemies lists, and so on, in order to bolster their own agenda? Of course!
Figuring out where markets are going seems a better pursuit, since "He who pays the piper calls the tune." Such pursuits may sound base if downright immoral to some, but as a Cuban-American friend of mine taught me years ago: "We don’t have any problems revenue can’t fix…"
It’s -always- a good time to leave the Gulf Coast area. I know, I live on it. There’s really nothing here at all, and all the waters west of the Mississippi River are full of sewage (even before the BP disaster and the severe hurricanes five or so years ago).
Trust me, humans are not meant to live here. Marshes aren’t fun, floods aren’t fun, 100% humidity isn’t fun, and mosquitoes aren’t fun.

Many of them try to give you the impression that all you have to do is use their banners and links then wait for the money to start rolling in. Although this can be the case, this type of scenario normally applies to large sites with a lot of web traffic.
Choosing banners
With most advertising affiliate marketing programs, you are offered a variety of banners to plan on your website, as very few of them will be effective. The problems with most banners are their size. If you choose a banner that is high in size, it will take a long time to implement and use. Therefore, it’s recommended that you use banners no more than 15kb in size.
When you select any types of graphical advertising, you should try and keep the theme of your website in mind. Even though graphical ads are meant to stand out and catch people’s eye, they shouldn’t be to the point where everything else on the page is
completely ignored.
Pop ups and unders
A lot of companies will now give their affiliates the chance of using pop up or pop under ads. In most opinions, pop ups aren’t the way to go. They can easily annoy visitors and are normally closed before they even have the chance to load. You should instead go for pop unders and those types that only display once per visit.
Text link ads
Once of the most successful means of advertising is text link ads. They are easy on bandwidth, don’t use a lot of space, and they easily be implemented into most types of page layouts. Good text links offer some information as to why your visitor should investigate your offers.
Email Advertising
The direct promotion via email has really taken off over the last several years, although it has brought tons of spam with it. If you plan to use email as a method of advertising your products, you should stand behind what you sell and make yourself available to answer any questions.
The reality remains that most affiliates can’t deliver what they promise, and companies are aware of this.
Final thoughts, you should always keep in mind that most forms of advertising will take time. No matter what methods you plan to use, give it some time before you make any type of decision. Although something may not happen overnight – it very well could in a few days or weeks.

In order to succeed in your Network Marketing Business, you must develop the mindset of a leader. 98% of the people who start a home-based business wind up quitting after a few months because they put too much emphasis on being a follower. The ability to positioning yourself as a leader is the one thing that makes the difference between success and failure.
Why are you struggling with your business? It is not because the products you represent are not good. It is not because people have less spendable income than they did a year ago. It is not because you are not cut out to succeed. It is simply because you have not figured out how to get yourself into the driver’s seat!
How many times have you been instructed to do 3-way calling with your upline? It looks really good on paper, right? Unfortunately, all this tactic does is position your upline as a leader instead of you. It helps them grow their business, but you are left looking like someone who is sitting in the passenger’s seat.
Needless to say, you must stop doing 3-way calls with your upline! Even if you may not be as comfortable moving your products as you think you should be, no one but you has to know that. You are the CEO of your network marketing business. Recruiting people who are under the assumption that someone else is an expert will teach them that they will not have to be an expert either.
Another way to put yourself in the driver’s seat is to stop begging for business. People can sense when you are desperate, and that is looked upon as a sign of weakness. Leaders never sound desperate for anything. The minute that a person thinks you need them, it is all over. They do not want to be in a network marketing business with someone who can not stand on their own.
I know it may be difficult since you really do need to pay your rent, but shifting the focus off money and aiming it toward helping people is what will catapult your business into orbit. You have the upper hand here, so use it. Let people know that you are considering them to join your network marketing business instead of trying to persuade them.
To be successful in our network marketing business remember to always be confident, in yourself and in anyone you talk to. Your attitude needs to be self-assured because you know the value of what you offer. You hold the keys to an exclusive club, and you have to power to admit only the best qualified people. Always hold your head up high.
When you do not think you can succeed, it comes across in the way you talk to people and your body language as well. Who wants to be in your network marketing business with you if you do not think you are going to be successful? Remember this phrase: fake it until you make it. That does not mean be a fake person, but have the confidence that you will reach your goals before you actually experience the success.
Understanding your capacity to improve people’s lives by mentoring them is another important factor of being a leader. Be aware of the struggles your prospects faces every day, and his or her options for improving their situation. The changes posed by a changing economy and diminishing job market may not affect you, but it affects the people looking to work from home who are fed up with working for corporate America.
You actually have more at stake than the person you are mentoring. Realize that you are taking the responsibility to develop their business and work alongside them until they can do it. Their success is your success. Do not do their work for them, but show them how to do it for themselves. Successful leaders do not babysit, they mentor.
Putting yourself in the driver’s seat of your network marketing business requires the mindset of a leader. Leaders offer prospects a chance to take charge of their future, to develop self-confidence, and to become free for once in their lives. Instead of asking who you can convince, ask who is qualified to work with you.
You hold the keys to a better future, for yourself and for everyone you care about. With proper network marketing education, you can learn how to get prospects calling you on daily basis begging you to take them into your network marketing business. The days of chasing down existing customers and prospects sitting on the fence will be gone for good. Trust me, I know.
I spent over 10 years handing out flyers, talking to people in parking lots, hanging signs and alienating my friends and family members. It wasn’t until I learned How To Put Myself In The Driver’s Seat Of My Network Marketing Business that I began to succeed. The only thing that changed was my way of thinking.
