The recent crisis at Wall Street has put the focus of US presidential campaigns sharply on the economy. While concerns over gas price, health care and housing devaluation have long been in the minds of the public, the meltdown in markets has put the spotlight back on financial policies of the presidential candidates. Tax policies advocated by either candidate from the Republican and Democrat parties show major differences in approach and outcome.
Both presidential candidates are in favor of providing tax relief to a vast majority of the electorate says Robert Carroll, Vice President for Economic Policy at the Tax Foundation. However Carroll’s analyses show that while Sen. Barack Obama of the Democrat Party has been pushing for a set of carefully targeted tax proposals that aim benefits at a particular type of tax payers, the Republican Party candidate Sen. John McCain is more inclined to provide broad tax relief which have indirect benefits.
Among the tax proposals put forward by Sen. McCain only two directly affect individual, the expansion of dependent exemption and a new health care tax credit. Sen. Obama on the other hand has seven tax proposals which are directed to individuals and among other issues target housing, child care, education and low-income work. In simple terms Sen. Obama’s focus is on redistribution while Sen. McCain is more in favor of offering economic incentives

One of the latest trends in the mix of sports and business is the granting of stadium-naming rights by NFL owners to big corporations. According to this system huge companies shell out massive amounts of money in order to purchase naming rights from NFL owners who are happy with the hefty bottom line which in turn gives them more funds to spend on signing bonuses.
The trend of naming rights in US goes back to 1970s when a few local companies paid moderate sums of money to put their names on a new stadium. The stadium where Buffalo Bills played was for instance named after a food distributor Rich Product Corp, which paid a total of $1.5 million for a 25 year contract. Not only the sums of money involved were modest but the corporations mostly put up their family names.
However in the 1990s, the trend of naming rights began to involve increasingly greater sums of money. It started with the owner of Carolina Panthers selling naming rights of his upcoming stadium to Ericsson for a $20 million and10-year deal. At present the Houston Texans have the biggest naming rights deal in the NFL whereby Reliant Energy paid them $300 million for a 32 year contract in 2000.
