If it were impossible to get a job the unemployment rate would be 100 percent.

It is almost impossible to get a job for those who are unemployed. The key word is unemployed.

Let me create a condition similar to the Great Recession. For example, if the country lost 500,000 jobs in a year but only created 23,000 jobs as part of the recovery then that means a person has 1/25 chance of being employed or 4% chance. Or, in other words, a person is not going to find employment.

Most people don't understand that most of those jobs created are jobs which require years of training. A person fresh out of a manufacturing plant has basically zero chance.

The unemployment rate is probably much higher than we are lead to believe as we only count the unemployed based on how many people are on unemployment. When the lifeline is cut off and we give people no opportunity to provide for themselves, it is pretty f'd up. It is one of the reasons that legal tender is meaningless if you have no opportunity to earn it.

What you are saying is the re-employment rate is low. Perhaps you ought to work on saying what you mean and meaning what you say.

They cut unemployment benifits in New York state too. On July 11th I think they will bring down extended benifits down to 13 weeks.

I always get a kick out of non-American people who make fun of the good old USA when something bad happens here. They are like the guys with little dicks in the locker room who can't wait to see the guy with a big penis to screw up or get in trouble so they can feel better about themselves and their tiny dicks. It is like some form of penis envey but with countries. :wink:

My father grew up in War West Virginia a small dirt poor coal mining town in the middle of no where. He had nothing growing up so he took a chance to move east where the jobs were at the time. He worked double shifts and saved his money he was use to being poor so he did not need flashy things to get by. He invested his money into rental properties and was also able to purchase 94 acres of land for gardening and hunting for recreation. I would like to see someone with same finacially poor status do the same in anyother country with ease my father did. My friend Max's dad came to this country with nothing he was a refugee from the war in Lebanon. He did the same as my father but he barely spoke the langauge he just worked hard and saved his money now his one son in a high school teacher and the other is a lawyer. How well do muslim refugees do in your country. Oh thats right you guys force them into ghettos then act suprise when they riot against your governments. :wink:

You don't have to insult me, ruveyn. I don't appreciate it, and it doesn't make your argument any stronger. It just puts me down and prevents us from having a civil discussion. If my reasoning is incorrect, I will accept that and correct myself.

Please don't attack me. Attack my reasoning.

No. That's not what I am saying. Because, to be considered unemployed you must also be actively searching for a job. It doesn't matter whether it is your first job or a new job to make up you being laid off from. You are considered unemployed if you don't have a job and are looking for one.

It is almost impossible to get a job for those who are unemployed. That's what I meant, and I clearly stated that in what you have quoted.

Here, you say that if it were impossible the unemployment rate would be 100 percent but androbot only meant this in the context of the unemployed.

Did you mean that if it were impossible to get a job then the unemployed would have 0% of finding a job or did you just mean America as a whole even the people who are already steadily employed?

You insult me by saying "Perhaps you ought to work on saying what you mean and meaning what you say" when it is difficult to see what you meant in that statement. That's not fair and is uncalled for. If I misunderstood fine but miscommunication goes both ways not just one.

Wrong.

People who don't want to pay taxes are merely selfish with what they already own.

Thieves are people who steal what someone else already owns ... like the poor stealing from those who don't want to pay taxes.

All religious nonsense aside, what I own is mine, to do with as I please. If I do not share it, that does not make me a thief.

Unless the collective We deems that you do indeed have to share what you have for the greater good of us all. Then you go to jail for tax evasion if you don't comply. Beside, you still get to keep most of what you own, and can be selfish with that.

The reason why we have laws against stealing is because it is modeled after one of the ten commandments "Thou shalt not steal". However in ancient Israel it was required that everyone pay a ten percent tax to the Levitical priesthood and in exchange everyone got healthcare. But the Libertarian party says that these priests were all a bunch of thieves because they promoted mandatory taxation for healthcare.

Keep in mind that each one of those dots is a whole bureaucracy unto itself with it's own huge network of offices policies and procedures.

Sorry, kid, but I already have a CPA scoping out every possible loophole to let me get a refund each year, and according to the law, it's mine, all mine.

Y'know, if you look on my profile, you'll easily see that I'm forty five years old. Just about the only person here on this forum who can call me kid is old man ruveyn.

Do you find that a life of hard work makes you reluctant to be taxed? I guess I am young so I do not mind a 10% tax so long as I have libraries, nice roads, police, firefighters, and stuff like that. That might change once I start making more money.
