Charming isn't it? Hanging is too good for those idiots.

I had to get my SS number when I got my first job. I hope to be able to afford a decent box and dry cat food with an occassional can of Fancy Feast - if I can even retire.

Socrates did talk about the social contract more or less.

Obviously, the answer to that would be to enable employers find further reductions in labor costs, in conjunction with the stripping away of any "Socialist" safety nets. Thought Bubble---(Hmmm, I wonder how difficult it would be to outsource Petes job? Think of all the my his employer could save!)

LoL!

I'm pretty outsource proof selling to the construction market. Thank goodness.

I think the right way to fix SS is double or triple the withholding, and let Congress hold on to it till I need it.

Really? You don't think that could be one through a sales center in New Dehli? You call the sales center, place your order, they send the bill of sale to the warehouse that ships directly to the customer...................

Think of all the money they could save that way.

Measure your head for the paper hat.

Nah Blue, heck you can hardly count on offshore sales to get your phone right. I'm in a pretty specialized industry.

Imagine someone barely speaking english trying to tell one of your machine operators how to fix one

They just move the machine and the whole factory to where the phone operator is.

And, I really don't think moving your job would be all that hard, if someone really worked at finding a way.

It's that wonderful "innovation" in business that Flac likes to talk about.
