President Obama Proposes Making
  the R&D (R&E) Tax Credit Permanent

 In an effort to increase innovation and hopefully keep and increase jobs here in the US, President Obama has included the cost of making the R&D (R&E) Tax Credit permanent in his budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2010.

Currently the credit needs to be approved every year.  In fact in late October 2008, the R&D Tax Credit was approved retroactively for 2008 and extended through 2009 as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.
 
If the credit becomes permanent, it will help companies in budgeting and planning their employee levels from year to year knowing that the credit will be available for the coming year.
 
The 2010 budget  needs to be approved by April 15 so our hope is that it will be passed and include making the R&D Tax Credit permanent.

Adopting and Following Solid Rules
Can Ensure Success in Life, Business

Editor's Note: Today we have a special submission from business performance improvement expert Laurence B. Valant. Larry has been a frequent contributor to our newsletter, and today, we feature the first four sections of his new book, Stop Breaking These Rules! 100 Hard-Hitting Truths for Business Integrity and Performance. If you want more information or would like to order a copy of the book, please visit www.valantco.com
 
Reality 1 - Follow the Golden Rule.
 
Back in the day, I had the privilege of working with a truly outstanding CEO, and perhaps the best business leader I have known: King David Shwayder. King really was his first name, and he practiced the Golden Rule every day.
 
The Golden Rule says: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."  This sensible, elegantly simple rule provides the basis for wonderful relationships between and among people, businesses, and countries. The fact that not all those around me follow the Golden Rule in no way excuses me from adhering to it completely.
