Buying 15% of a small business, help? Is this a good investment?

I know this guy who got a contract installing cable, phone, and internet as a contractor. He is going to start with 5 techs, the company will make 20%/tech on however much they invoice. A Tech avgs 00/week x 5 techs = 00/wk. The company will clear 00, I will receive 15% of this (0/week).
I will buy into the company w/,000.00 for 15%, in 3-6months we would expect to have 10 techs, and next year we would double that, so my income would continue to go up.
The ,000 will go towards start up cost (insurance, tools, ladders, cameras, 2 weeks of pay for techs, etc)
Heres the catch, I just met this guy, but I have been to his home, and gone to a meeting with him to discuss the final details with the company he will be contracting for. So I know the work is there, I even went with him when he opened his business bank account. He’s also shown me his drivers license.

Does this sound like a good investment?
A contract will be wrote up by a lawyer and signed, he even said I can put a lien on his house.
Who do we need to sign the contract infront of, any notary ?

What should the discount rate be for evaluating a business project?

A business is considering a 0,000 project. The current annual rate of inflation is 4%. One option is to take out a loan for 8.5% for the investment. The current production rate of return is 9.5%. If the company was to invest the 0,000 instead of carrying out the project, the expected rate of return would be 9.25%. What should the discount rate be for evaluating this project option?

WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN THE USA, POLITICS, THE WHITE HOUSE, ETC.?

What do you think they are up to? Regardless of political party affiliation that is nothing more than a show, a divide and conquer strategy. Our Government does NOT do anything out of the kindness of their own heart to bring change to the American people. The truth is, everything our Government does is planned and organized to solely to benefit them. They will tell you one thing and do another, they have hidden agendas in everything that they do. Such as, the poor economy, why waste a tragic event when they could put a twist into their intentions and make something more out of it while the people believe what they are doing? Everything is a good idea up front, painting a rosey picture with underlying reason for doing what they are doing. MONEY and CONTROL!!!! Such as, social security, medicare, taxes, etc.

Our government is collecting taxes from us big time, I understand that roads need to be repaired, they have to pay the police and fire protection, national defense, etc. I understand that everyone must pay their “fair share”, but it is ridiculous. The average American citizen pays so many unfair high taxes and our government just pisses our money away. If you think about it hypothetically, if one person pays approximately 0 each month in federal income taxes times approximately 100 million people who are working, this is equivalent to 50 Billion dollars each month and 600 Billion annually. That is a lot of money and that is a low ballpark figure!!! In addition, our government expects us to file annual income taxes, the IRS breathes down our throats like Gestapo tactics keeping us in fear! They pay particulatly close attention to what each and every American makes as earned income keeping us pegged down financially at all times. In addition, our Government also expects us to pay capitol gains taxes on any investments that we our fortunate enough to accrue some interest on investing in Americas future. However, we can not determine what our government is actually doing with our money. They can audit us, ride our butts for all kinds of taxes ( Federal, State, Local, County, School, Property, Capitol Gains, Gift, Estate, etc.), but we the people can’t ask our Government to see their records? www.readthestimulus.org

Is this some sort of U.S. Government takeover that is happening? Is this our Government’s hidden agenda to assume absolute total control of their people? Slavery?

Our Government in the last year(s) has:

Control of the Banks
Control of the Auto industry
Control of the stock market
They have spent Billions upon Billions of OUR taxpayer dollars on frivolous matters devaluing our currency and boosting inflation through the “bailouts”, tarp, omnibus,
The so-called economic recovery package, stimulus bill, etc.
The are attempting to control the health industry.
Our government has built themselves much bigger, and they have created so many Government jobs while civilian jobs are few and far between, and regular jobs, businesses, corporations are being sent overseas. We spend so much of our money on importation of goods and services, it is like a monopoly game….. there is no money in the bank, no money in circulation, and the Government owns everything on the game board!!!

All of THIS that they are doing or have done will make the majority of us directly working for and totally dependent on big brother.

Something stinks!!!!
