Really? You could not face such a possibility?
Ok, try this one on for size...
In the name of the general welfare, to protect the people's security, to achieve full equality and total stability, it is decreed for the duration of the national emergency that:
Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail. The penalty shall be determined by the Unification Board, such Board to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.
Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.
Point Three. All patents and copyrights, pertaining to any devices, inventions, formulas, processes and works of any nature whatsoever, shall be turned over to the nation as a patriotic emergency gift by means of Gift Certificates to be signed voluntarily by the owners of all such patents and copyrights. The Unification Board shall then license the use of such patents and copyrights to all applicants, equally and without discrimination, for the purpose of eliminating monopolistic practices, discarding obsolete products and making the best available to the whole nation. No trademarks, brand names or copyrighted titles shall be used. Every formerly patented product shall be known by a new name and sold by all manufacturers under the same name, such name to be selected by the Unification Board.

Over or under production shall be fined, such fines to be determined by the Unification Board.

Point Eight. All cases arising from and rules not specifically provided for in this directive, shall be settled and determined by the Unification Board, whose decisions will be final.
Any of this sound familiar? I hope so because it is straight out of Atlas Shrugged and it is exactly where little bammy is doing his damned best to take us.
And if you doubt that do a little research on what is going on in little bammy’s pal and hero, Hugo Chavez's country, Venezuela.
Similar crap is going on right there, right now. Hussein Obama is doing EVERYTHING against the better interests of the American Citizen and now is "nether confirming or denying" the blanket amnesty.
It's ok if you don't want to pick up a rifle, but either find a way to HELP the Constitutional Republic or please excuse yourself from the room.

I'm going to give you a pass on that one, because do not understand what you are writing about.
