The owners of any business, irrespective of the size, can benefit from incorporating. With the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the S Corporation became a highly desirable entity for corporate tax purposes.

There is obviously no foolproof system of sorting or classification which will ensure equity. But what has been causing the problem is the obsession with one type of selection which is clearly detrimental to the majority of people it affects. It leaves little room for error and has assumed such omnipotent qualities, it is often the ultimate arbiter where it matters most. When it comes to the important occasions which have long term effects on our lives, various systems of personnel sorting should be used - whether it is picking the names from a hat, personal choices, starting in reverse alphabetical order, the first person to arrive, or even using the alphabet! It does not really matter so long as the selection process is diverse, culturally fair and reviewed frequently.
Still not convinced of the need to change? Then look around your department at work and start counting names. Have a look at all the senior personnel and note their surnames. The majority will start with A-J. You will not only be surprised but you will also appreciate why 62% of the latest Forbes Top 100 billionaires have surnames which are in the top half of the alphabet, the number being too significant for mere coincidence.
Remember, the next time you do not make the grade where you have been sorted alphabetically, it could have little to do with your gender, personality, race or your particular skills, but much more to do with whether your name fits; whether you are part of the burgeoning alphabet elite.
Forget the wrong side of the tracks. The key question seems to be: Are you from the right side of the alphabet? That's what really matters!
