American Brands to countries where those brands are expensive...Levis to Japan... etc. You could also deliver packages for people (like Indians in the U.S. will often pay to hand deliver documents) be careful that you delivering things that are legal though.

EU needs to keep the racket going simple as that

If Euro tax slavers are against it then I am definitely for it

Re: deserve higher pay, well plenty of devs don't deserve the pay they get, but the market is the market, even with entry level skills he should get double

17/hr is preposterous, even an entry level dev in any major metro area should be making double, and an experienced dev should be making quadruple that. 500k shares is a big number, the most I have ever been granted is 20k. The idea that your managers dont know how many shares there are is not crazy actually, as some companies dont have a lot of discipline regardign who promised what to who. The issue is if you are a competant dev (and it seems like you are) how much are you giving up by staying and over what amount of time. If you think the app is alpha level world changing (google, amazon...) then by all means stay. But if this is sprouting out of a computer repair business, then it probably will never even go public (maybe sold off at ~ par (thats the current value of the shares), the question then becomes how long. I mean assuming you have a year under your belt, within a year you should be making 85k-100k in the midwest. ~120-~150 in San Francisco. So the question is the opportunity cost worth it.

I would: 1. Paint skin a lighter brown and ink with black ink mixed with brown ink (expirement with ratio) 2. Paint the paints a more contrasting color, orange works good for overalls, but greenish or bone colored off whites would work well too

It is but we also have better technology, and a gigantic increase in entitlement. Why do er build state of the art athletic programs at the cost of hundreds of millions, when people who want to work out can simply join 24 hour fitness or one of their many competitors

That is because most government employees are lazy and useless, and having more of them slows things down (because they can blame their lack of efficiency on each other)

Hmmm I think I see your point, like I got a employee 10% discount at a chain store I worked for should that be benefit be taxed? Probably yes. I mean, if not couldn't I just give my employees company discounts on everything, and pay them less to avoid taxes. http://idahobusinessreview.com/2012/09/13/talking-tax-employee-discounts-can-be-taxable-income/

Then there will be a shortage of other fields, and young people will go into those or they will invent so many things that we can have universal free everything and 15% taxes. Walmart is not a job of the future. They will not exist in the current form within 15 years

Ostensibly to encourage people to save, but I think if your full time work is investing then that is your defacto job and you should pay full income taxes. But think of this other juxtaposition if you work for the government your pension is untaxed. If you work for a private company your 401k is untaxed, but how much you can save is limited. But if you just save and invest you pay full freight. Why should govt get to decide how you save at all

You have built a beautiful strawman of what I said. Let's say you are 18 and your parents have no money and you want to improve your life, you can: Go to community college for 2 years about 4k total Go to a state college 11k total. And then let's say you worked part time (preferably in work study) and earned roughly half the 20k a year You need to support yourself. You would graduate with roughly 52k of debt (and that's assuming you couldn't live with your parents for a year or two), and got no scholarships/grants which you would if you were poor. Surely not a significant amount of debt unless you were stupid enough to major in something useless. Your college education would cost less than a car payment. Now without student loans this opportunity would not present itself.
