Federal, State and Local Government is important to a CPA because it is the Foundation of where we get our Business Laws and Tax Policy from in addition to being the source for Regulation specific to various lines of Business. It is also very key because of the Impact the Deficits and National, State and Local debts can have on the Economy, Business and Families (but not in that order - its Family First for us). We care about the Economy because of the Hard Work we all do and how our money gets put to work at the various levels is really key for us ALL as Businesses and Individuals. There is one more level to this, in the early days when I was growing up my family took time to share our National history with me it was Easy to do because I was between New York, Connecticut, Massachussetts, New Hampshire, Greater New England and other Colonial States (PA + NJ) quite a bit and in All Those Places you can find lots of National History if you look the right way.
A leg of my Family has been here since New York was New Amsterdam and the Dean Road that you know of in Brooklyn was named after a part of my Family Tree "The Deans" many many years ago. On that side of the Family we have a connection to Scotland, Ireland, Holland, and England, General Schuyler and others many years ago in the Revolutionary War for Independence. Sometimes the National History seems to have been placed on a shelf and forgotten and you guessed it we are firm believers that a Nation should remember it's History - especially this Nation. There is good and bad like in anything but each day that we are here and able to work there are people who have put themselves at risk to defend that priviledge of ours, if we think of the Nation we also are thinking of them and thanking them for their service.
We get to see Lafayette Ave. frequently and wonder how many people realize that the Marquis de Lafayette a Noble Frenchman was once a great defender of Americas Interests. With all this view of a Nations history we don't seperate, rather we believe that the Nation is great because of our Diversity and our ability to work together and achieve results. We have made many positive steps and are a rich nation of cultural diversity that benefits from the many differing view points we have. We do not believe we benefit though when people forget that we are Americans and we do have a Nation to consider so we keep it on point when we talk about the future. At the same time we are a nation amongst nations and we all benefit from the Global Market Place and the exchange of ideas in the world future we share, its just that we also have to take the National Economy and the Nations Fiscal Future into ownership - it is ours Collectively.
We value the opportunity we have to work with all of you and appreciate that our role with you is primarily Business and Individual Finance related but we hope that you wont mind that we also care about the Economy and the Nation too. A big part of it roles into Taxation and Regulation that comes with our modern times and we also see all the Value that Globalization brings on the upside - we do appreciate the value of ALL who are at work in the Global Economy. Our views on the Nation are not about more than keeping the great trust we have been granted in Fiscal Responsibility and extending that trust to help with ideas where we can - and to support your access to information and the great process we all share where we can consider how we can help in Our Democracy.
