First off, jobs are created because someone must make, transport, and distribute the alcohol. Also, due to the higher than normal sales taxes on alcohol, it had a great tax revenue for the federal government. It’s a win-win situation: the Feds get money, while the people have fun and get drunk out of their minds! Alcohol also positively affected the economy because it heavily depended on railroads, telegraphs, and mechanical refrigeration. (The Brewing Industry)

Drinking milk after you win, balloons before the race starts, and the Borg-Warner Trophy. Before you start the race, there are tons are multi-colored balloons released.

During his indictment a lot more truth arise and more truth was told as to where money over the years actually went. This particular pharmaceutical business fraud may not be as big as the Bernie Madoff story and never reached Wall Street but, this case drew a lot of attention because of the defiant price gouging and his back and forth with wanting to help others including immigrants and then turning behind their backs and mocking them.

This tweet was then commented with a statement that "he should of raised the prices higher, because his investors need to maximize their profits".

Fortune magazine characterizes their television ad of the “bare-chested Casanova, who tells their female audience that their brand will make their man smell like him,” as “Pop-Culture” and “tongue in cheek” (Shambora, 2010). Nevertheless, the man behind this advertisement, Scottish-born Iain Taitt, increased digital revenues for Proctor and Gamble by 50% in 2010 from his Old Spice ads (Shambora, 2010). Could it be that the image of the Old Spice man effect the viewer emotionally, as our text suggests? However, pictorial stereotypes often become misinformed perceptions that have the weight of established facts, and if they are repeated often, they can remain in a person’s memory for a lifetime (Lester,
