Who is going to coordinate the info between the States?
Not trying to bust your balls, just that some of those groups have good reasons for existing. I believe we need to greatly reduce their size and scope to do only those things which really need done at the federal level, which accomplishes most of what you desire.
I opine the the Congress has a duty to make the rules, not turn that function over to an unelected body of Federal bureaucrats.
Congress dose need experts but they, congress, has a responsibility to do their job..........their job is not to delegate.
Their job is absolutely to delegate, that has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. If Congress has the power to do something it also has the power to delegate it to someone else. It's clear you haven't put any thought into this because it would take an awfully stupid person to believe that Congress could micromanage to that degree.
To answer your question in bold above, I don't eliminate American jobs in order to make more money. Doing that one thing makes someone a 'greedy bastard.'Seriously what is it that you hate about ceo's. Youe calling them greedy bastards because they are trying to make more money and keep the money they have earned? There isnt a single person here on this forum that looks forward to paying their taxes. There isnt a single person here on this forum that doesnt make use of tax exemptions. So how is it when we do it its ok but when someone who has more money than us does it they are just greedy bastard? I just dont understand this gimme gimme mentality.
Show me a better job where I work less and earn more and i will be first in line. How is this different than companies looking for ways to save money and earn more. Like ive said previously, I own a small business. My employees are paid good and I give bonuses as much as possible. But give me a lazy employee and and I will fire them as soon as I believe they have stopped trying to make any effort towards the business goals. Is this any different from hiring someone to do your yardwork and trying to find the cheapest laborer who does the best job? Well guess what? thats what corporations are doing when they need to go off shore or hire people from india to answer customer service lines. Well if you dont like it stop buying discounted chinese products and buy american only and pay who knows how much more for the same thing. Your friends will call you stupid and laugh. This double standard ideological crap really needs to stop in America.
I know this thread is about France but many people here have discussed how they believe this would be a good step for America as well.
IN SUMMARY, LET BE CLEAR TO SAY THAT MY MONEY DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU. And some multimillion dollar company does not owe me a single dime.
LOL!
That's almost......almost......signature quality.
I'm hoping to someday insult you enough to make it into your signature.
So according to you the solution to dealing with an economic system that almost collapsed is to embrace one that did?
And would someone explain why taxing the rich will create jobs?
To answer your question in bold above, I don't eliminate American jobs in order to make more money. Doing that one thing makes someone a 'greedy bastard.'
Where exactly did you get those figures?But it's not the greedy American worker that wants $30/hr and retirment with full medical and pension at 50 for turning a few screws into a car frame that is to blame?
The EU was designed to prevent another European war. It's worked in that respect. It's pretty paranoid to think the Euro was designed to put the US in its place.
In some form or another governments have been doing that for centuries. I'm not sure how you didn't notice.
The first duty of government is to protect the citizens, NOT tell them how to live their lives.
And what if its citizens need to be protected from themselves?
I request an example of this in the 1700's.
This should get really interesting. I hope it goes through and we can see what really happens to the economy when you declare a war again the rich. Who knows, maybe it'll work out just fine and countries will follow?
I living/working there when establishing the EU was being discussed. Nobody was talking war.
I'm pretty sure it's primary purpose was to make doing business easier among the EU countries.
Back then, every transaction between companies in different EU countries had to deal with currency exchanges and contracts had to created to deal fluctuating rates for future payments etc. It was a PITA.

The EU will not keep Europe from another war. Why? Because there is not a country in Europe or the world for that matter, that likes France. Everyone to include Americans just want to find a Frog and punch them in the face. They are that irritating.
While this is true, not all of us are warmongering Neanderthals. Most people are able to put their dislike of the French aside for, you know, the great good.
...because the stated purpose of the EU and the creation of the Euro was to replace the Dollar as the world reserve currency. The EU and the Euro was to be the instrument of putting the Americans in their place. I have no sympathy for their failing "experiment".
