A jobs program idea.
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 03:46 PM by obxhead
Change corporate political donation law.

Limit total political donations to 1 dollar per full time American employee.

Watch how fast the hiring spree begins.

2. Interesting idea
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 03:45 PM by WatsonT
Would mean that corporate donations are more representative of the amount of people that corporation actually contains.

It would have to be limited to American employees only though. Otherwise they'd just hire a lot more third world kids.

Also to really encourage hiring it'd need to be more than 1 dollar per.

4. Your comment is an assumption they will back down.
There are some that wont, and it will take more then that.


There is an adage "the guy with the will to do what the other guy wont"

The problem is you have to make them do it, so they pay for those actions when they threaten terrorism, or so they get caught before they do it.

For some people the perception that some groups will go to terrible methods of scorched earth, is enough to back down a group. Don't let a threat of harm to others make you feel responsible for it, if you can stand in front of the innocent do so, but don't let it give your power to those that threaten such things.


And I am due beer and travel money and many experiences.
