A Simple and Fairer System to Fund Social Security

Authors: Jabari Zakiya
Comments: 5 Pages. Minor corrections.

FICA withholding from wages is currently used to fund Social Security. It uses a Cap with no Floor system, which subjects the first dollar of wage earners salaries to FICA, up to a wage cap, after which FICA is no longer applied. What is shown here, is that a Floor with no Cap system is better, for the myriad of reasons provided herein, and should be adopted by Congress to replace the current system.

Is it Possible for Corporate Leaders to go Beyond Friedman's Doctrine?

Authors: Victor Christianto, Florentin Smarandache
Comments: 5 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: An abstract is required on the submitted article)

The authors develop a model of business ethics that is more actual, especially in responding tovarious problems facing humanity today, including climate change. That this is also connected with not only environmental responsibilities but also the social responsibilities of large, medium and small business owners, seems quite clear. The only problem is that many of us seem to be bewitched by the doctrine known as the Friedman's doctrine, proposed by Milton Friedman in the 1970s, which essentially states that the onlysocial responsibility of a company is to make a profit.
