If Low Taxes Create Jobs, Where Are They?: The Answer to the Question: Do Low Tax Rates Create Jobs? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780967748061)

Bob Miller initially pursued a career in accounting, graduating from Rutgers University in Newark with a B.S Degree Cum Laude in 1960. He married immediately thereafter and started his CPA career with an accounting firm that is now PricewaterhouseCoopers. In 1965 he joined the Manhattan Shirt Company where he remained until 1972 when Squibb Corporation, which had just acquired Charles of the Ritz, recruited him as its Vice President Finance. He advanced rapidly up the Ritz corporate ladder, becoming President of the International Division in 1974 and the Company's President and CEO in 1983. From 1975 through 1986, led by the International Division, Ritz registered increases in profitability averaging 23% annually, without any acquisitions. During his tenure at Ritz he worked directly with fashion designers Yves Saint Laurent and Gianni Versace and movie and television stars Linda Evans and John Forsyth. He is most well known for his role in developing and marketing YSL's Opium perfume and the first fragrances ever based on a television show, Dynasty. From 1983 until Charles of the Ritz was sold in 1986, he was on the Board of Directors of Squibb and several industry organizations where he also served as an officer. In 1985 he was the recipient of the New Jersey Businessman of the Year Award. Bob remarried in 1989 and now lives with his wife, a psychiatrist, in Manhattan and Blairstown, New Jersey. Together they have five children and seven grandchildren. He retired in 1992 after an unsuccessful attempt to save a fur retailer from bankruptcy and undertook consulting work that interested him. Later he began writing fiction based on his almost thirty years of experience in the fashion, cosmetics and fragrance industries. Recently he has undertaken research in economic and political issues, and just completed his first non-fiction book, If Low taxes Create Jobs, Where Are They? Someone once described Bob as an intelligent man with the discipline of an accountant, the creativity of an artist and the people skills of a diplomat, at home on a factory floor, a fashion runway or the halls of Washington--a fairly accurate description.
