    The answer is that there aren't enough jobs because you don't employ any workers.

    Bwk, I'm just going to let you believe that Wal-Mart, Arbys, McDonalds, Target, Sears, Burger King are not accepting applications. There are no entry level jobs in the classifieds. No signs up asking for applicants to wash dishes or wait tables. You have your link. I will just choose to live in reality.

    Oh, okay, I got it. It's the "YOU" who is at fault then, because the "YOU" doesn't employ workers? If that's the case, why is the poor worker who is looking for a job that doesn't exist because the "YOU" won't employ him or her, portrayed as the lazy bum then?

    No, you choose to live in your alternate reality called fantasy, that has no understanding of simple math. I have my link for a reason. To steer away from fantasy. To not challenge my link, proves your reality is fantasy.

    You said there is a problem of not enough jobs. If you aren't employing anyone, then you are the cause of the problem you complain about.

    And why exactly am I the problem? Couldn't I say the same for you if you weren't employing anyone? Or maybe your next door neighbor or a friend is the problem? Bottom line, your question is totally ridiculous and is not connected to the dynamics of the argument.

    Yes, you could blame me, or my next door neighbor, or anyone else, if you hold that it is one person's responsibility to create jobs for others. But if that's the case, then it's also your responsibility to create jobs for others.

    Not in income taxes, 47% of the country either pays nothing or they profit on April 15th.

    Okay three things here you need to understand. The thread was about Scott Walker. Then the conversation got shifted to blaming college kids for being bums after they graduate, to blaming others for not hiring people to work. So, you totally hijacked the second conversation by creating a third, and on top of that has nothing to do with the other conversations. Which is why you brought up the nonsense of job creation being my responsibility. It was a filler for the inadequacy of the second argument. That's usually how it works. When in doubt, and I have nothing left to contribute to an argument, attack the messenger with a totally different topic. Which is exactly what you did.

    In your post #102 you chided [MENTION=44089]CKW[/MENTION] for dodging the issue that there aren't enough jobs to go around. If you don't want to talk about why you aren't providing anyone with a job, that's fine. Maybe it's a topic for another thread. Later.

    Scott Walker was bankrolled by the Club for Growth...a group of wall street crooks that created the budgetary shortfalls all around the country. So Naturally, Walker mines the working class teacher's unions to make ends meet in the budget. This college dropout has no problem gutting education b/c he has no problem sticking it to the middle class workers. He cuts higher education by a record amount with no provision for tuition increases to maintain the standard of education....he's forcing UWM to die on the vine.

    That's ok with the anti-intellectual robots comprising the authoritarian right wing middle class...they hate pointy head educated people anyways. But for normal Americans, this is another fascist effort from our right wing. A terrible occurrence.

    That's terrific. Those that make the most money pay more in income taxes. That's how it should be.

    The vast majority of americans pay most of their taxes in payroll taxes. The same payroll taxes borrowed to give millionaires tax cuts.

    Stop defending the rich. They don't need your help. I'm sorry, your sycophantic help. Just mention taxes and guys like you cry a river for the richman's burden. Why not weep for regulatory burden on manufacturers to provide safe workplaces or reasonable hours / wages? Just wondering.

    I read the plot, oh a society who kills the people who reach a certain age.

    No I don't mean that, not to that extent. I just mean give the young a chance. Invest in their future.

    were not talking about people that earn below a living wage, don't be jealous of them, people should only pay a federal income tax for money earned above the poverty line (rich or poor)

    Our society does give the youth a chance, usually through parents and other adult custodians. But some youth throw that opportunity away.

    The terms of the bonds can be negotiated. The point being, if this is such a money maker, something like bonds, would provide the initial startup.

    And I want jelly bellies to rain from the clouds. What Welfare? An entitlement is a program that someone has paid into entitling that person for a benefit. Why the hell would you want to cut that back? Entitlement programs like Social Security help keep some 15-16 million elderly out of poverty. And you think that's all wrong? I think you do.

    Let me guess Mr. Anti-Sycophant, you're also a flat tax proponent?

    I think I pegged you correctly the first time.
