    Oh ye mighty rich people, do make sure thy country get employed. Go forth and denounceth thy government for not working with ye people of high stature to get them so employed; at just a little less than minimum wage, no less! You'll see!

    Put ye plan of employment on thy web and on thy common people's TV sets, so that all may know high and low of thy government's lack of cooperation with ye to get them so employed, and all may rejoiceth thy wisdom, generosity and name.

    And henceforth all the people knew the beneficence of thy rich people and spoke no ill of them, good shepards that they were. And little Timmy did live.

    Go ahead and put together the alternative plan. It's not impossible it will be better than Washington's plan, even if it would skimp on the funds without a few modifications.

    Go on now, the people are listening. They want to know what you have in store for them. We are listening to you instead of Washington now. We want to hear about how you will, in clearly written terms, hire X amount more people for X tax break to further line your pockets. Don't be ashamed; we know you haven't any shame. Since I'm assuming you haven't any plans besides privatization, tell them how much infrastructure must be done away with before the unemployment rate can be lowered.

    You mean the money you skimmed off bundled mortgage packages resold five times before given a fine name. Guttermouth, why don't you let someone else represent the rich. I'm sure they'd appreciate it too. This is starting to make me miss Unifier and more than half the time he just tells cruel lies.

    sounds utopian, nah, they'd just make more profit it the taxes were less.

    and as for illegals, most of the legals price the locals out of the market anyway

    I'm sure that would go over well for everybody.

    You managed to keep the money from the bundled bad mortgages resold in a fine name separate from anything that might be taxed? I can't say I blame even the IRS for not wanting to touch that one.

    Putting dubious methods aside, and pretending there was just the "pure" capitalist method of selling goods at a profit, what do you call doing that until a few people own half the country? I call that a rip-off. Suppose it was done until they owned all the country?

    suppose anyone could do the same and there were competitors doing the same, making it impossible to own the entire country.
    in your silly unrealistic daydream it might be considered a rip off if one person owned the entire country but even then no one is getting anything "ripped off"

    I see, we should hope that competition is enough to keep things afloat, and that things don't ever get so bad that a few people own, say, half the country.

    I favour rule of law myself, and maybe a corporation regulated by it like in Germany, some meritocracy, maybe some Syndicalism, a little bit of planned economy, and even some private initiative, but I think your model is interesting, the one where you don't actually have a model.

    For the people who lost their houses or the companies that only survived because they bribed the government to bail them out?

    Take thine arse hence oh King Obummer and return to the land of Chi. Be quick to also take thy tax collectors and court jesters with thou as we may purge and cleanse this great land of this pestilence and plague you have wrought among us. Thou hast brought scourge and disease and great suffering. Taketh thy hypocrisy and witchery with thou and begone. Thus sayeth we as we wish to flourish and enrich our land. Yea though we have endured lo the many promises and pronouncements of goodness you spaketh, thou hast been bearing false witness and shall be thrust into exile.

    You can blame liberals in the white house, I don't care. The poor will hang you, not me. I don't care about the "liberal democrats", they mean nothing to me.

    You want jobs for everyone? Government must do what it can to make our country THE PLACE in the world to set up a business. Whatever it takes. If good paying jobs for everyone is the goal, it will take scrapping of regulations, energy production dedicated for business, land grants to business, etc. We can't compete with low wages overseas, but we can OFFSET the difference with cheap energy, tax breaks, etc. If jobs are the goal, you'll have to make some concessions from your liberal positions.

    Europe and the low countries don't need to "do whatever it takes" to maintain a standard of living, and soon neither will China. Do you see Germany competing with low-wage countries? They certainly don't do it by means of Wall-Street capitalists.

    I'm sorry, this is just nonsense. We don't need to compete with anyone. We can run all of our technology ourselves, and manufacture everything we need ourselves. If the capitalists want to go somewhere else, fine. We don't need them, certainly not Wall-Street types. Even for useful kinds of capitalists, soon even computers will be simple things to manufacture if they don't care to stay. So go somewhere else, I'll take it from here. Good riddance.

    I can make all the bloody jobs I want if tell the farmers and the people running the electrical and rail system that they're all getting butlers and waitresses and the theatre burns down and now you're all watching live performances, don't worry it's been done before wasn't bloody awful then. Won't need any bloody capitalists making jobs then now will I? I'll be using rasperby pi's for all my calculators and if they stop working I can bring back human calculators and we can reinvent the bloody computer with the punchcard and the vacuum cleaner. So you better make yourself useful fast before we find we just don't need you anymore.
