| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1039308 United States07/17/2010 03:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sadly I see most of the world as zealots, not just a certain group, not producers, everyone. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1036314I see the useless eaters as scum also, however there are exceptions in my feelings to like, the ment/phys challenged/handicapped....they should be taken care of. Children should not starve at the fault of their parents, they should be taken care of first. A 5yo can't work, it's not the kid's fault that mom/dad are pieces of shit, IF they even have both. I'm taking on two jobs to keep myself afloat, simply because "it's what I have to do" If I couldn't find two jobs to make it, I'd be driving around town with my weedeater/laptop/chainsaw/workboots talking to everyone I met until I found someone willing pay me for work I could complete. To me, THAT effort alone, takes me above the useless eater line, because I DO support myself. The general consensus seems to be that there are a HIGH number of these types who will do nothing for themselves. Eventually they will be in the streets, right? I mean, welfare/whatever else they offer(I'm not sure?) isn't going to pay all their bills, so we are going to have a homeless problem soon. I don't disagree with you. The problem isn't with the 5 year olds, it's with the 25 year olds who become 40 have never had a real job in their lives. Clinton, 0bama and Biden come immediately to mind. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1036314 United States07/17/2010 03:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hire a bunch of ppl as cops, makes jobs, cops=arrests+tickets=more money Secure the border, hire lots of border guards. Start seriously arresting illegals, and deport them. I know, I know "the votes, stupid". But we claim to be "trying to protect our country" but it's not protected if anyone can sneak right in. If the gov called me right now and said "we will hire you to guard the border" I'd be on my way. |

They set up revenue enhancement zones (speed traps) to suck money out of the people they're supposed to protect. They cannot come to your aid until AFTER a crime has been committed, but they can and DO set up ambushes to take your money. What the fuck good are they, really? |

They are fighting the wrong things. OF COURSE they are going to make the money, and the worse it gets, the more they want to make, but it also has that negative impact like you mentioned. I was proposing a FAR OUT idea, actually focusing them on important things, like getting rid of the illegals, doing productive things, fixing the attitude towards them by example. I can dream can't I? |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1066172 United States08/12/2010 01:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The option is this, and it will work. Protectionism. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1039308We tried that just before the Great Depression. It was called the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. It nearly killed us. Read up on that - seriously. It created and then deepened the Great Depression. Well, it's working for China. While we're becoming 3rd world, they're becoming 1st world. Check it out... [link to www.npr.org] It's 3 1/2 minutes long, but they basically state that China employs protectionism by regulating and taxing the crap out of US goods sold in China. It's time to wake up. Free trade is for suckers. |
