World- wide, we need to get people working and get the economy moving. If you could think of ways to get people to take a chance and start a business, what could a government do to help this? What do you think makes people less inclined to take a chance?

In the UK there already is help for new business start up the job centre employs business advisors, gives you relevant free training, lets you work as a 'test trading' business,without it affecting any benefits you may be on, and also gives you start up funding depending on your status. they also give you the chance to take part in a sustainability scheme, where for every £60 a month you save, they will contribute £60 a month towards your Business over a one year period I know this because my husband is a new business and has had lots of help and support over his first year of trading

If the government would simplify the tax code that would be a huge help for people almost need to hire someone just to understand how and what they want to do will be affected by taxes and that throws a lot of people off right there. Number 2 would be to stop will all these programs and changes and bills protecting this or that and trying to stimulate this or that or punish this or that. This is what happened during the Great Depression under FDR. He subsidized all different crops and naturally people all grew those crops and the country was low on the others. Same with many businesses, he set up regulations that tires had to be a certain price and so on and so on. This is the same type of tinkering we are doing now. A business seeing all this doesn't know what is coming next so they just stay where they are because if they make a wrong move the next government manadate could ruin them. The government needs to let Americans be Americans and grow and come out of this stronger because they learned not because the government falsely inflated our economy by borrowing money we don't have. Basically government needs to enforce laws we have now but also state that they are getting out of the way so that we can repair ourselves.

3 things that would help business in the USA Incentives to bring jobs from overseas back to the USA Real Tax incentives to hire skilled and unskilled workers (Like people on welfare or unemployment) Less government bureaucracy/ bookwork.

Reforms are needed in all Fields of life all over the world,so the question is how to begin ! First educational system,teachers,schools,Technical education,moral & ethics, and the textbooks of educations and to bond those all with their ties to make all that satisfy the work power of the market.This takes time,so main while information should be collected for the work forces available in the marked which is unemployed to make them share their ideas of the small projects and their experiences or even make a ready made projects for those who are ready to hold the responsibility and facilitate loans to them and maybe they could be supported by other Professional works from other countries or states and they are to be supported by a committee that might solve all their problems might arose such s materials,workers etc In this case a state or a country should study carefully all his needs for the nearest future
