To me it sounded like the opportunity of a lifetime to let me explore, grow and find my passions. And in many ways, it has. Continue reading The LifeWorks program should not limit working hours

Our view: The rich have more than enough – they do not need tax breaks

At some point, wealth stops being about comfort and starts being about power. Billionaires today have more money than they could ever possibly need. They’re not accumulating wealth to survive, they’re doing it to climb invisible ladders of status, to be known as the richest person on Earth or to fund flashy projects like private space tourism. But while a handful of people chase ego-driven legacies, millions of Americans are struggling to afford rent, pay medical bills and put food on the table. There are much bigger problems than not being called the richest person in the world. Society doesn’t have to be this way. Rich people should be taxed far more than they currently are. Continue reading Our view: The rich have more than enough – they do not need tax breaks
