Perhaps if for every per cent unemployment above 4%, corporate profits were taxed another 1%, that would be a better incentive for them to do their part to keep hunger and homelessness down. Each percent could then be used to feed/shelter the needy. <br /><br />Are they part of the solution or part of the problem?

Then the government can employ them in exchange. <br /><br />If the businesses don't like it - or the taxation to fund it, then they can offer them the job instead. <br /><br />But I wasn't aware that Scotland was founded by Israelites. <br /><br />There is nothing honorable about a country letting its people starve. <br /><br />The bible was written when land was abundant and anyone could farm and get a goat and seeds to plow. And Scotland is not exactly in the fertile crescent, my boy.

Next up, minders will come to your house* and inspect your lifestyle choices and rate them. Your government services will be parceled out according to your rating. <br /><br />Actually, PG&E (electric company) already does inspect everyone's lifestyle choices. In addition and separately from their bills, they send out a report on how your house measures up to similar homes in terms of energy useage. I disapprove of the use of the natural resources and impact on the climate that follows from this monthly missive that I immediately throw out.Amartelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636450794507517534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-15445661256907623222016-11-18T15:45:52.389-05:002016-11-18T15:45:52.389-05:00Seems to fly in the face of both the Old Testament...Seems to fly in the face of both the Old Testament: "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3:19...<br /><br />...and the New Testament: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10<br /><br /><i>I'd be more interested in the "right to Scotch".</i> Lol.
