To I Hate Dallas. I think that www.thepeoplecube.com will be a great source of knowledge and understanding for a great person like you. If we have more comrades like you in this world, everyone can be equal with out even trying. Socialism is the only way to make the rich people give back the money that they stole. -Retrogression for all Joe Comrade

Holy shit, I love Annie...'We'd like to thank you Herbert Hoover, for really showing us the way"...I agree with joe on raising taxes, demanding a humane minimum wage, unionizing, and watching large corps. But the other suggestions are a little crazy.

From the People's Cube: http://www.thepeoplescube.com/red/viewtopic.php?t=344&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= The key to understanding this is that we are living in a world of shortages. We are running out of land, natural resources, food, water, and just about everything else. In fact, our only surplus (besides Republicans) is labor. There are too many people and not enough jobs. Cheap and plentiful labor is another reason for unemployment. That is also obvious. There are many solutions: - Of course, raise taxes and a demand a humane minimum wage. When companies have to pay more for labor that they have no use for, employment will increase. - Ban trade with other nations -- and especially China. Chinese workers are taking jobs away from Americans. Better that they should immigrate here and then join the labor pool. Again, obvious. - Increase government employment to take up the slack. When taxes are put towards increased public employment (say, creating three jobs that used to be done by one person) we have win-win: The unemployed find themselves in useful employment -- and the public gets to pay more taxes. - Unionize. Have you ever heard of an unemployed union man/woman? It doesn’t happen. Even better: Nationalize unions; i.e., create one large union that represents all employees everywhere. That way, a single employment grievance can shut the entire nation down. - Ban development in cities, in suburbs, and everywhere else. - Large corporations need to watched, regulated, and punished. Wal-Mart in particular needs to understand that it must pay their employees much more, and must promise to never fire anyone -- especially the most vulnerable: blacks, Hispanics, Asians, the young, the old, women, gays, lesbians, alternative genders, union organizers, progressives, the physically challenged, the mentally challenged, felons, and arsonists of all criminal categories. Generally speaking, corporations must also stop all expansion, and even better, contract and shut down.

Jeez, If we can just force companies to hire unskilled labor high paying jobs this world would be perfect. Maybe, we can have the Chicagoist hire homeless people to be editors. Screw that, let force everyone to donate money (like 95% of our take home pay) to the government so they can hire more workers. The government understands that we don't have any clue on how to spend money and they can spend it fast and wiser than us.
