What's the  best way to get a  discount on all your music equipment? This is not an advertisement. It's the law. Every rich person in America does this. Everyone should. If you play music and you want to play music live or you want to sell your music, then you want a music business.Start your own business now. It's extremely easy to do. 100% legitimate. It is even encouraged! So all those beers you drank while watching a great musician play? That's business. That new Les Paul Guitar? Business There's no law that you're business can't be fun! It doesn't mean that you get all this for free, it just means you can deduct your expenses from your income. The only catch is if the total deducted is less than the basic deduction then you're better off taking the basic deduction. The only other catch is that you will need to track it. You can deduct: Auto expenses: every mile you drive is money back Phone, hotels,  Food is 50% deducted from meal...

Incentives and priorities need to be aligned. If you pay someone 5 cents to return a bottle, you get more bottles returned. If your boss pays you for making more widgets, you'll concentrate on making more widgets. This works very well until the incentives and what we want are different. Would you want someone to be paid a ten dollars for hitting you in the nose? No thank you. I see the government doing this in a couple of cases. The two that stand out to me are 1. Healthcare and 2. Prisons. Prisons are easy to fix. Get rid of private prisons. Private prisons get paid per prisoner. They don't get paid for how well they do in recovering or whether they are treated with respect or provided a way to successfully integrate back into society. Just paid per prisoner. So the government (government being you and me) pays someone to open build and run a prison that is incentivized to have more prisoners. Bad model. Some things the government should be doing themselves and not priva...

The  U.S. Military is awesome. The people of the military are doing incredible things to keep us safe. The weapons we've developed are amazing. From nuclear weapons that can destroy a country to miniature flying bugs for reconnaissance. The Soldiers are provided incredible guns and protection.  The people in the military do a lot of things right. But they have the wrong job. Because we gave them the wrong job. To keep people safe, you need to keep them healthy. While the military keeps us safe from people from other areas of the world, our people in our country are dying and getting sick. Deaths from heart attacks, cancer, and other diseases continues to ravage our country. Just for cancer, i n 2018, an estimated 1,735,350 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 609,640 people will die from the disease. That's more than the 400,000 Americans who died in World War II.  Let's refocus what we want from our Military. We want to be safe and he...
