How to Copyright/ Patent a business idea?
I have a business idea, it is all typed up in the proper business plan format and I am ready to propose the idea to some investors. However, I would like to protect my idea so that they cannot go off and start it on their own. If its just the business plan would I patent or copyright??? What is the difference?? How would I go about getting the patent/copyright??
there is no new technology it is just a service
What do you think of this tax plan? ?
I propose a graduated income tax starting at 1% and slowly rising to a maximum of 30% for those making over $250,000 a year. All types of income would be taxed the same - wages and salary, interest, capital gains, dividends, and inheritance (with an exception for family businesses and farms).
No one should live tax-free. That includes minimum wage earners as well as the Paris Hiltons of the world who live off their parents. This system seems fair to me, and it would give most Americans a tax break.
And before you go crying about how it would discourage investment, that is nonsense; since all investments would be taxed at the same rate, investors would still look for investments that gave the best returns for their risk tolerance. It would discourage the reckless speculation that has ruined the stock market.
If you disagree, what is your ideal tax plan?
