Paycheck Protection Program -Ready For Corporations – Questions For Other Entity Types

Carolyn was one of my partners at CCR of blessed memory and a fellow managing director at the not quit Big 4 firm that swallowed us up.

Paycheck Protection Program – Consider Alternatives
It has occurred to me that an alternative or supplement to PPP might be laying some people off and then helping them out with some deductible disaster relief payments. Maybe you just use PPP money for people that can keep doing something during the crisis. Of course that sort of course assumes you have some resources.

Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
