Measures to stimulate the economy through the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of the United States (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) includes a temporary tax credit “Making Work Pay” for two years. The credit will provide workers the option to charge a little more during 2009 and 2010. Specifically, the tax credit will reduce the amount of federal tax withheld by employers from workers’ wages or who pay self-employment, allowing these workers receive a higher net salary.

To qualify, workers must earn an income from an employer or through self-employment. They must be U.S. citizens or resident alien with a valid Social Security number. Who are claimed as a dependent (ie, being a child, college student or elderly relative who lives in the same household) of a third party can not claim the tax credit.

Workers will receive a credit of 6.2% of their annual income up to $ 400 for single workers and up to $ 800 for married couples who file their income taxes jointly. However, the credit is phased out based on income limits. People earning between $ 75,000 and $ 95,000 will receive less back (down 2% of income above $ 75,000). Those earning $ 95,000 or more are not eligible to receive credit. Married couples filing who earn a combined income between $ 150,000 and $ 190,000 will earn a bit less (down 2% of income above $ 150,000) and those earning $ 190,000 or more will receive no credit.

Apart from the urgent measures for job retention and protection of the unemployed that to date are pending parliamentary executive initiative, the Government still seems alien to the real problem that threatens, which is none other to overcome the lasting success guarantees a crisis are profoundly as we are living, in terms of unemployment and destruction of business network, we will still live over the coming half, if not years.

If we look at projects and bills which are currently being processed at the Congress of Deputies, we notice immediately how the legislative action is still far from the set of actions that can guide our country to overcome this crisis.

Suffice it to name it that are currently pending legislative initiatives: urgent action on telecommunications, the creation of the Civil Institute for Peace, measures to support businesses and the self, by the recovery of arrears, tax incentives savings in the economy, temporary suspension of the excise tax on certain means of transport, fiscal support to people with disabilities and older; tax incentives for the purchase of passenger cars and commercial vehicles, tax incentives and self-employed small and medium enterprises, measures to assist families to purchase a home.

There are many things that cause why someone would take the option to become an entrepreneur, which is very common is the need. What distinguishes an entrepreneur from the other workers did not receive a fixed salary for what he did but they are risking the time, financial resources and effort in the hope of better income than working for wages.

The price of security is limited incomes. For employers there is no limit. At least that’s the theory. Is common among employers to former vendors, used to meet goals under pressure or people who are good at their craft became independent.

Apart from those who were born businessman, inherited the family business for example, large numbers of people moved from employees to the company, either by necessity or self decisón.Unemployment is an important school of entrepreneurship, there are those who remain without work to remain on the hands and went to work on their own whether to clean the car, driving a taxi, offer special services or assembling a business or industrial enterprise ..

Wage cuts for civil servants a necessary measure in 2010. The lowering of salaries of officials is the “star as crisis” has approved the government: A 5% drop in average salary, which will be greater for higher paid staff and lowest for the base. True that officials are to blame for the crisis, but no money to pay all, there are only two ways: either lower wages or fire officials. Not because it is considered fair or better, but because there is simply no alternative … Well, there is, the Greeks have taught us: we can not do anything in 2010, just wait … and then we need a cut of 15% in 2013.

Is it just the drop in salary of staff?

Well, honestly, I think so, officials say they do not deserve the lower pay, and better, that’s true, but the wage decreases have also occurred in the private sector (directly, or dismissals to new contracts + low, or just firing), and neither were to blame hard worker, so … well, the officials also deserve a privilege with respect to the hard worker, right? Because the only alternative to the drop in salary of staff (cost cutting) was higher taxes (increased revenue). Increases which would have had to eat too hard worker and whose status has deteriorated significantly by the crisis!

That is not a question of punishing the officials for vague, much less, a professor who spends his time lecturing to 25 students certainly has much less room for “shirking” that many private sector hard workers. It’s just that we can not maintain the level of current deficit, that would be the worst by far, and therefore need more revenue or less spending, what is commonly called “belt-tightening.” It is in this context that the question “Is it just the lower salaries of officials?” can be stated as “Is it fair that the entire burden of the crisis falls on workers in the private sector?”. It is very easy to reply that it is not just the drop in salary of staff (I also think that it is not), but if we think that someone should need to tighten their belts, it does not seem fair that now are officials who do.

Not all display correctly in all that done by the entrepreneur, business, business, very often they do, they give some errors, that those who have studied have revealed, in addition to others that our professional experience has been collected. In the letter, collected more frequently, so those interested in these items were taken into account, and help others avoid that this is not to.

Several models have been implemented and a successful outcome. To consider the implementation of the cluster at the regional level we must first of all, understand what cluster.

The basic concept of Cluster is based on several corporate strategic alliances “to work as a team” for the common good of all. These organizations maintain their corporate structures, tax and legal, is does not alter their status. No need to be a branch of the same product, but whether they should or complementary products. The goal is to create, using internal or external catalyst, how to utilize the available resources, minimizing waste and cost to meet competition.

In fact, in recent years has been completely agreed to the post-industrial economy, with rapidly moving from an economy based on manufacturing and goods, which provide maximum value to information, services, support and distribution. This change favors, for its part, the so-called knowledge workers, a new class of highly educated people, wealth and mobility, which is considered free agent market. Be appropriate, then, in a knowledge-based economy, a concept which was then examined.

Faced with this reality share the views expressed by eumed.net that companies that are part of the cluster benefit by being able to act more productively in the provision of inputs, have better access to information and technology, collectively to be able to create the institutions necessary to support all efforts of the cluster. Also part of the cluster “” their interest in coordinating with related companies and is a mechanism for measuring and motivating improvement compared to other member firms of the cluster “.”
