  • are you my masonic adviser?

  • The minimum wage is distortionary, it would probably balloon the informal sector and increase unemployment. There might be a better way to help the poor.

  • All of your suggestions, simply make people more Dependant on the government. Subsidies and cheap loans only make college more expensive. Green conservation core is only something you would hear about in nazi germany or some other fascist government. Universal healthcare has been a complete disaster in every country. The government is ineffective and only adds cost.

    The main thing you need to understand is that the government has NEVER been able to effectively plan economy.

  • Ha, hahhahha. Your nuts. Thats an absolute!...pipe dreams.

  • My good economist friend, I hope that was a becoming true but dont go to far, if our local governments put more restrictions to the public shool we could fund most of the college tuitions, this is America our government has the money is the people in charge of distributing that money who are putting millions of people like my self out of a better tomorrow, however I wont give out if there is a way that you could help me to find funds for my school let me know thanks bye

  • By 1794, France was in shambles and utterly paralyzed by the Reign of Terror. The leaders of the revolution --most notably Maximilien Robespierre -- were bloodthirsty twats who had entirely lost sight of the goals of 1789. While I am very sympathetic to the original intentions of the French Revolution, that's hardly the type of country I'm interested in living, working and raising a family in today!

  • It's time for a class war like the 1790's French Revolution. Five years of class war will certanly shake things up!
