So far, the only solution anyone seems to have is: Tax the bejeezuz out of anyone who is productive, and give government charity to anyone who is unemployable.
That's a really rotten solution.
But if there is no work for a large percentage of the population, then I just don't know what you do. We can fiddle with tax policy, and we can stop off-shoring, etc. To some extent, that is re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. In a world in which average and below-average tasks are performed by machines, and above-average people have real work -- it starts to look like a free ride for all the average and below-average people is the way to go.
And, as I say, that's a rotten solution.
A Civil War followed by a World War might whittle down the untermensch.
Brave New World. Betas will all do construction work in return for section 8 housing and food stamps.
We have to find a way to restore the American dream. We have to give back to people the ability to have their 'pursuit of happiness.'
The progressives/liberals/democrats have destroyed the American Dream. A smart politician would start chattering about restoring the dream.
Yep. I agree.
I think there are people (alot of Freepers) who don’t realize just how bad it is because they are in their own little bubble.
