We’re going to have a huge demand for nursing home care, elder care, home services. As Baby Boomers drop out of the work force with age, even if their jobs are not filled, caring for them will create jobs.

Unless we repeal Obamacare there might be work, but no one will be willing to do it. Just like there will be lots and lots of people who need a doctor but alas, they all quit!

The problem is that the funding for these elder care jobs comes largely from govt which is broke. So you’ll have jobs — but with unpleasant working conditions, gross understaffing, and min wage compensation.

If I had a business and such a law exists, I'd either :
1) Consider moving overseas if I can afford it; or
2) Consider selling my assets and shutting down.

I'm sure millions of business owners would think the same way... How's that gonna generate employment ?

The 500 largest non-financial firms held almost a trillion dollars in the second quarter

If Reich's buddies confiscated it all, it would leave this year's deficit around $500 billion.

This cannot go on, and the rats expect to pay for it with our freedom.
