Please dwell on the term, 'unintended consequences'.

That said you're probably on to something, just lacks finesse.

In a word .. amazing.

You don't bother to explore the ramifications of your suggestions. There is so much wrong with every one of these.

Why don't you break each of these down into individual threads so that they can be properly debated?

P.S. Usury is already illegal.

It's called class warfare, it's time the working class started fighting back against the greedy capitalists and their conservative allies.

Labeling it doesn't make it any better ... clearly, you have no concept of these suggestions.

But, I tell you what -- pick out your favorite one. Let's debate that one.

Well as we can all see, nationalizing the oil has just destroyed Norway...look at the big mess they have with all that surplus money! I mean, should they go ahead and use some of it now or just keep saving it for a rainy day???

They dont have a deficit or massive debt to campaign on and bash the other candidates with....it probably makes them sad.
