| Message | ::laughs his ass off:: You see those unemployment figures? Prepare for them to go up. WAY up. You're saying: ARTICLE 1: Teenagers can't get summer jobs. Go look up the original bill. Article 2: Corporations, now, instead of hiring people and expanding, now have to downsize dramatically and lay people off. Because you've just increased their tax burden 3000%. Which, by the by, will only yield you about... oh say 150 billion... for a few months. Then expect it to drop dramatically as businesses stop making very much money at all. Oh, and might I also add, that's going to take the CCI into a nosedive, drop investments even further, and probably cut somewhere around half a trillion off the GDP, initially. Which means everyone's salaries are also going to dive and welfare is going to need a whole lot more funding. Oh, and tax revenues from sales taxes? Toilet. Article 3: You just fired an ENTIRE industry and you now have to provide all the money to keep it running (see trade and industry funding to do that) and since they're all working for the state now, good luck getting them to work for the same salary, especially since they're unionized and will strike if you try to drop them, and will probably threaten to strike if you keep them the same or raise them via layoffs. Yay, more unemployment! Article 4: Aww, the one feel-good part of the bill. Now that there are so many more people in the poorhouse, this should make life easier on them, right? This bill is a JOKE. You have no grasp of how economics works in the least. |
