Let's hire each other

Edited on Tue Jun-21-11 03:31 PM by LiberalEsto
If the ****ing corporations refuse to hire us, what can we do?

Sit around waiting until they decide to use some of their stockpiles of money to start hiring, after they get their next tax cuts and a repuke Senate, House and president? Screw that.

There were times when people would hire the neighbor's kids to mow the lawn, wash the windows, etc. Women used to take in washing or cut their neighbors' hair for a little extra money. Someone down the street would fix your car. Another neighbor would do your taxes. That's what my neighborhood was like in the early 60s. One woman who worked as a seamstress took on little sewing jobs to make extra money. My mom sometimes did ironing for others. My dad did people's taxes. Girls started babysitting as soon as they turned 11 or 12. As a teen, I made a little money by washing dishes for neighbors who hosted huge holiday dinners.

It wouldn't solve the massive economic crisis we've been forced into by the corporations, but perhaps those who have a few extra bucks could start spreading them around by giving work to those who need it. I don't mean that people should exploit other people - pay them fairly or don't hire them.

If we got used to the idea of giving each other small jobs, they might lead to bigger and better things. At least I hope they would.

But that would involve that nasty evil four letter word - WORK!

Work can be physically and or mentally draining. People need that energy to score their smoke and post on DU about how terrible it is that someone has something they don't.

No, the answer is nationalize everything and give everyone checks, then tax them on those checks so they have more money to write more checks (which can be taxed to provide more money for checks).

Capitalism is based on self-interest and self-esteem; it holds integrity and trustworthiness as cardinal virtues and makes them pay off in the marketplace, thus demanding that men survive by means of virtue, not vices.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

So if they hire each other will they pay living wages, give benefits, and vacation time?

I know of one opening but, Ashton Kutcher already has the job from what I heard.

He replaced Charlie Sheen on 2 and half men, for those who don't get it.

Even DUmmies are too smart to hire another DUmmie. :-)
They know they wouldn't show up.
If they did, they'd take three times as long to do the job, then demand four times the pay.

I'm assuming of course, any DUmmie would have the resources to even hire anybody. :whatever:

What about taxes? and how many of those people are going to report their new found income? and what if they receive welfare and or food stamps? wouldn't they be cheating the system if they didn't report that income?

They'd probably try to work it as a "barter" system.
Smelly hippies have tried that before.
They soon find out "the other hippie" always values his/her service or goods to
a greater extent than what they would value them.
Naturally the high priced hippie thinks the other is cheap and a cheat.
The system quickly breaks down to smelly hippie spats and flower beatdowns. :lmao:

Nope, they are DUmmies.  Taxes are for someone else to pay.

1. I thought of getting group together that have different skills.
   
Skills like construction, accounting, cooking catering, child care, You fill out the paper work to become a corporation. You advertise at grocery stores etc. You get references. You undercut those who are working. You pool the income. Keep expenses low by using your own tools and vehicles.

You pay everyone a salary based on how much money they brought into the corporation.
:lmao:

And who pays all the costs of the corporation?  Health insurance, life insurance, workmans comp., disability, errors and omissions, liability, auto insurance, unemployment insurance, taxes, accounting, annual fees.  Vacation time, family leave, maternity leave.  Who supplies the infrastructure for your corporation?  Phones, computers, consumables, facility, someone to answer calls from all those people who saw your ad at the grocery store.  Don't forget the employers portion of FICA and Medicare taxes.  

Those tools and vehicles don't maintain or fuel themselves.  They're not going to last forever.  Who pays for that?

Greenbriar/demtenjeep liked to boast of the vast resources available to her.  Yearly cruises.  Enough personal income to keep not just a drunken bum of a husband, but his shiftless, freeloading bum of a buddy in a lifestyle to which they'd like to have become accustomed.  African-American students who would have liked her as a slave master.

And all that on a barely adequate, middle school social studies teacher's salary.

Hell I can't get any of the neighborhood boys to cut my mom's yard. Flat, 15 minutes, no trimming or raking, use her mower and gas, 20 bucks a pop. Bunch of pansies if you ask me. Too hot, grass too high, always too something. Hell for that matter they don't even cut THEIR yards. I blame the parents. When I was a kid I had my own little Briggs and Stratton, hand clippers, a rake and 20 some yards. Average about 5 bucks a yard for an hours work. Hills were extra.

Kids today are pansies.
